Watch out for the Spring Show of NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program, beginning tommorow.

I asked Raffi if I could come along a few months ago, but unfortunately I couldn’t make it 🙁 However, Mohsin‘s extending his TO+NYC trip by a few days so he can get to the show and also meet Raffi.

I’ll have to be content with Leeds Met’s Innovation North showcase…in the meantime, here’re my favorites…
