General Assembly Shuts Down Co-Working Space In NYC To Focus On Education
After three years of offering co-working spaces to young startups and entrepreneurs, General Assembly has decided to shut down the co-working brand of its business in 2014, according to multiple sources as well as a blog post.
According to the post, it simply makes more economic sense to shut down the co-working branch of the company and shift complete focus to the educational arm of General Assembly, which provides classes on things like Digital Marketing, Business Fundamentals and Tactics, and Back-end Web Development.
As it stands now, General Assembly already has 3,000 alumni students who have taken a longer term class with them, and 70k students who have step foot inside one of GA’s worldwide offices looking for mingling space and/or a class to enroll in.
The General Assembly building in New York’s flatiron district is a 30,000 square foot space, 11,000 square feet of which have been dedicated to the co-working area, with tenants like Neverware and Alphapipe taking up the space. While the GA space itself will be expanding to 45,000 square feet in the next few months, the dedicated co-working space will soon be occupied with GA staff while the communal space will be used as an alumni hang-out/event space.
Here’s what Jake Schwartz, CEO and co-founder, said in the blog post:
Over the past two and a half years, our community has grown much larger than our amazing co-working members. It now encompasses the tens of thousands of students who’ve come through our doors and the more than 3,000 alumni of our long-form courses, not to mention the hundreds of instructors and the 2,000 hiring partners who come to GA in search of top talent. Similarly, support once meant desks and space, but has come to also mean instruction, opportunity and talent for our students and hiring partners.
It is in this context that we have made the decision to stop offering our coworking services in 2014. It is not a decision we took lightly – but it is a necessary one as we work to expand our global network of students and alumni.
“I’ve been at GA since the beginning and will be sad to leave,” said Avi Berkowitz, AlphaPipes founder. “However, our team has grown significantly in recent months and so the need to move was something already in the cards for us.”
Luckily for Berkowitz and other tenants, there are a number of co-working spaces in the NYC area that have open arms. The landscape has changed quite drastically from when General Assembly first opened its doors as one of the only collaborative working spaces in the city.
However, with the pivot in the business at GA (now focused predominantly on education) and the soaring price of real estate in the Flat Iron district, this seems to be a decision that makes the most sense for General Assembly.
So confirms Schwartz in the blog post: “For a long time now, coworking has been a small part of the “business” of GA, even as it has remained important as a reminder of community as a founding an ongoing value of our company.”

Un completo mapa de las cervezas del mundo
Recorte de la ilustración - clic para ir a la imagen completa
The Magnificent Multitude of Beer es un esquema de más de cien tipos de cerveza que existen en el mundo –no sé si me atreverÃa a decir que son todos os que existen– y como se relacionan unos con otros.
Incluye también ejemplos de más de 500 cervezas concretas y, algo fundamental, el tipo de recipiente en el que han de ser servidas.
Se puede comprar como un enorme póster de un metro y medio de ancho por uno de alto, pero los gastos de envÃo son de los que asustan, aunque afortunadamente también está disponible para ver en lÃnea.

JamCam App Lets You Use Songs In Your Mobile Videos
Video apps are sprouting up like weeds, but Vine and Instagram still hold the majority share of video creation on mobile. However, there’s one thing that both of these services are lacking: a voiceover tool.
But a new startup is looking to remedy that. World, meet JamCam.
JamCam doesn’t let you use any old audio over your video. However, imagine this. You’re walking along the street, or riding in the car. The scenery is beautiful, and the song playing on your iPhone couldn’t be more perfect. All you want is to share this harmony with your friends, but alas, opening up Vine or Instagram kills the music instantly, opting instead for the odd noises of your surroundings.
With JamCam, the video you record automatically adds the song you were listening to on the iPhone (as a raw file) to the video. You edit just like on Vine, by threading together various shots with a few choice taps of the thumb, and the app automatically adds in the music based on the same rhythm of your edits.
It works like this:
When you open up the app, you’ll first be asked to switch the phone into landscape mode. Once in landscape, you’ll be reminded of the song you had playing on the bottom bar of the phone, with a button on the right for recording. On the left, you have options for front-facing camera and using flash.
When you hold down the record button, the song begins playing and stops when you release. Videos last 15 seconds, just like Instagram, to allow for enough of the song to play.
Here’s one of the videos I made.
The app only allows DRM-unlocked songs to work in the app, so founder Matt Loszak doesn’t get himself in trouble. I’ve found the app, freshly launched by a team of one in Canada, is more reliable when you use headphones. Users can share to Facebook, Twitter and Instagram through a link, or have the option to save the video. Thanks to Instagram’s generous option to let us upload video, you can actually upload your JamCam vids direct to the photo sharing service.
That said, JamCam needs some work on the sharing side, as it’s a slow process and takes far too many steps.
If you’re interested in making some music-inspired mobile video, check out the JamCam app in the App Store.

Overview, un documental sobre el efecto «¡guau, qué vistas!» que experimentan muchos astronautas
El «Overview effect», descrito por el autor Frank White en 1987, se refiere a una experiencia relatada por astronautas que han visto la Tierra desde el espacio, y que es capaz de cambiar su punto de vista y percepción sobre el lugar que ocupa la humanidad. La experiencia común pasa por un sentimiento de admiración hacia el planeta, una profunda comprensión del ciclo de la vida y un renovado sentido de la responsabilidad por el cuidado del medio ambiente.

Wildcat: un bicho galopante con motor de gasolina que va a toda leche
La gente de Boston Dynamics sigue haciendo evolucionar a sus robots, más rápidos y mortÃferos, al menos en potencia. En este caso el bisho se llama WildCat y aunque el arranque se vea un poco agreste (brrrm, brrrrm…) luego se mueve y galopa con con fluidez.
WildCat utiliza un motor de gasolina, que bien podrÃa ser el de una segadora, un juguete a radiocontrol o algo parecido. Eso dota de energÃa a los motores y diversos componentes de su interior, además de hacerlo sonar como a motocicleta de cani. El resultado es un bruto mecánico de unos cuantos kilos de bichejo robótico corriendo a 25 kilómetros por hora dando vueltas por el jardÃn… ¡Cuidado!
