The Hits Keep on Coming

Once again, the New York Times is showing their prowess at creating truly engaging interactive multimedia.

The first example, unfortunately, is a timeline of Alex Rodriguez’s career (which of course is under much more scrutiny than normal because of the recent exposure of his taking performance-enhancing drugs) which chronicles how tumultuous his career is:

The second is piece for the New York Times Magazine.  Titled “Great Performers” it is a portfolio of actors and actresses, most of whom are under consideration for an Oscar this year.  I highly recommend playing the commentary while browsing through the photos:
