The NYC HandBallers from 13thWitness™ on Vimeo.
13thwitness created this short video on some of the people in the handball community here in New York City. Growing up, I never actually got into handball, but a lot of my friends were into it and this video pretty much covers the view I had sitting on the sidelines watching. [via]
If you missed the other 13thwitness video I posted earlier, you can check it out here.

Escape From Tomorrow (A Day In the Life With Nigel Sylvester) from 13thWitness™ on Vimeo.
13thwitness and BMX rider Nigel Sylvester took it to the streets of New York City to show off some of the moves that Nigel can accomplish on his bike. Nigel jumps over several objects on his bike that I would have trouble jumping over on my feet. That makes me sad. [via]
Underground Signs will create a custom NYC Subway sign for you
November 12, 2009 @ 2:06 am
If you ever wanted the station sign from a local Subway station in NYC or wanted a custom NYC Subway sign that said something unique, then Underground Signs is a good place to get either one. Underground Signs will recreate just about any current MTA Subway sign with letters or make a custom sign for you with the same look for a premium fee. Each sign is authentic metal construction and painted black with white letters in the exact same typeface used in the NYC Subway system.
The signs start at $99 and go up depending on how big and complicated your sign gets.
New York City’s subway lines now available in Google Maps
November 6, 2009 @ 8:55 pm
It’s been available as a layer on Google Maps for BlackBerry devices for a while, but it looks like Google formally announced the MTA NYC Subway transit layer for the standard version of Google Maps. Rather than simply showing the station stops like Google Maps has been doing, the new layer actually shows you how each line travels from point to point.
Looks like there will soon be no use for this digital version of the official MTA NYC Subway map.
Map of construction projects in NYC

OASISNYC just linked me to a great Google Maps mashup on WNYC that shows construction projects in NYC. The map labels areas as partially under construction, completed, and partially occupied — all great information if you want to get a peek at some of NYC’s urban holes and building shells.
Check out the map below.
