ITP Spring Show 2007

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...

• Better Bin - visualising how many trees are saved by recycling.
