You will see something cool here if you upgrade your Flash player.
These come from USA Today, The Washington Post, the ABC (Australia’s public broadcaster), Reuters, NPR, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times. Seven examples, seven news organizations. Yes, they are all large news organizations. But I’d like to make the point that (contrary to what some Flash detractors have said) it’s not only [...]
Yesterday I watched a documentary video I had TiVo’d earlier from the Sundance Channel:
Milton Glaser: To Inform & Delight
Unfortunately it’s not yet available on Netflix (?!), even though it was released last May. I recommend that you file the title away so you remember to watch it later. It’s a very good example of documentary [...]
