Why NYC is such a great port#
  • I've always been fascinated by the history of NYC. It's where I was born and raised, so for me it's personal, and besides -- it's a very interesting place. #
  • For me the most interest is in its evolution. And you can see in this picture, 499 years after it was discovered, why humans decided this was the place to build an amazing city -- look at the size and shape of the port and how it's protected from the ocean. #
  • There are many other things evident in this picture. You could do a whole semester in college just exploring the whys of this picture. #
  • NYC from high up.#

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
