If you get some time, you should definitely check out One In 8 Million, an interactive New York Times web showcase of some of New York City’s unique personalities.
The profile on Alife sneaker collector Jesse Villanueva is interesting as is the profile on ex-bank robber Mark Mocha.

Today marks the 20th anniversary of the protests in Tiananmen Square in China. The New York Times has an audio-slideshow from Nicholas D. Kristof, an Op-Ed columnist who was Beijing bureau chief for The Times in the spring of 1989, in which he recalls the city’s mood during the student protests leading up to June 4, 1989. Nicholas gives a pretty solid history on the events that led up to the major protest in Tiananmen Square so if you get some time you should definitely sit through and listen to the whole audio-slideshow.
Thanks Jane!

Katharine Q. Seelye of The New York Times narrates this wonderful video piece covering the events of the Presidential race in the last 2 years. The video is separated into three sections: the landscape; the candidates; and the voters. The thing that I love about this NYT production is that each section includes related links below the video as the video progresses (if you’ve seen the NYT Presidential Debates page, it’s similar to that).
The video is available in large-format and low-bandwidth versions, but honestly, I’d try and get to a place with hi-speed broadband so that the stunning images in the video are viewed at their best sizes. Seriously, this video has some really great photos and you wouldn’t want to see them any smaller than the largest size possible.
