We will be in New York City from June 15th to June 21st 2025, to meet with friends and business partners, and to participate in the United Nations "Open Source Week" event.

Jeff will be on site. If you or someone you know would like to meet, feel free to reach out to @nekohayo (or the general email on our contact page) before this Saturday.

Are we still doing #ThrowBackThursday ? This is from 2007 when I was crashing the Windows Vista Launch event. I was walking past Best Buy in downtown Manhattan when a large crowd of photographers caught my eye. It turned out a guy in a bright red sweater was there presenting the then-new Windows Vista OS. I certainly didn't have an invitation, but I was carrying my Nikon D-7000 with a tele-zoom lens. Apparently, that was enough to get me mistaken for a member of the press – which I definitely wasn't! I really should have bought that #10000 Windows Vista box.

"America may be bad, but New York City is good. & you know what? We’d be even more good if we had a mayor who was not terrible. If you live in New York, please help! If you aren’t registered for the Democratic primary, do so by this Saturday. https://elections.ny.gov/voter-registration-process Then don’t rank Cuomo or Eric Adams. Tell a friend or neighbor to do the same. Truly, we deserve this one nice thing."

Mother-In-Law says Cuomo has her vote in the NYC mayoral race because reasons. Really it's because she's very misogynist and also bigoted against Muslims. I mean, she's an amazing woman who has accomplished a lot, but she is still 81 and rather conservative.

New Yorkers, please vote in this primary because I don't think me and Spouse can talk her out of that.

Inside a #Courthouse, Chaos & Tears as #Trump Accelerates #Deportations

#Immigration #courtrooms in #NYC have emerged as a flashpoint, with masked agents making surprise arrests of #immigrants who —following the #law — have appeared for routine hearings & check-ins.

"New York is home, New York is safe! New York is not a fascist state!"

Very peaceful and diverse #NYC crowd protesting in solidarity with #LosAngeles. Great to see people borrowing ideas from the civil rights movement and marching arm in arm to show how peaceful they are.

As where I am, when BIPOC organizers lead and white protesters don't make it all about ourselves, things go really really well.

Lady Liberty Ellis Island NYC

"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door."

New York deserves better than 'Governor Sex Crimes'....

Hey, #NewYork! Here's a short primer on ranked choice voting; it won't be like this for every vote, just certain categories. Good advice on #NeverCuomo, don't rank him last, DON'T RANK HIM AT ALL - fill your five slots w/ anyone but. He (and *1st Stop's Always Istanbul* Eric Adams are both also running Independent!) won't go away quite so easily, but we are patient.

It was a summer night, warm though the sun had gone down. The lights of the city sparkled, the river in front of them caught the reflection.

They were in the perfect place, at the perfect time, with just the right person. Was there any way, they wondered, to stop time and make this moment last forever?
