Neat animated graphics

Dean Pauly passes along this excellent animated political graphic from the New York Times. It shows the potential of Internet publishing in terms of communicating, which is what we are supposed to be all about. 

While I'm at it, if you haven't seen the stunning Minneapolis Star-Tribune's "13 seconds in August" graphic, take some time to look at it. I spent more than a half an hour looking at it when I first learned of it. Frankly, it deserved a Pulitzer. 

Seems to me that graphics, along with unlimited space, are real advantages to communicating online. Now if newspapers could figure out how to make more money from the net. . . .
