Ever see an awesome graphic or visualization in the New York Times and wonder who did it? Chances are it's either Amanda Cox or Megan Jaegerman.
More highlights...
Amanda Cox
Oil Prices Reach a Symbolic Mark
All of Inflation's Little Parts
The Ebb and Flow of Movies
Megan Jaegerman
Spotting a Hidden Handgun
The Jumping Off Points: Moves that will be made in Free Skating Programs
From Mantauk to Cape May: The State of Beaches
Forest Field Guide
Playing Cornerback: Cover to Cover
Much more here.

Thanks... I've found myself admiring the excellent NYTimes graphic work of late, like this animation of NASA's new Constellation spacecraft series (not, however, done by either Cox or Jaegerman, as far as I know...)

Note to others: if you see me in public with any of those traits common to those who hide handguns, it's probably because I have an awkwardly large camera lodged in some odd pocket. Please do not tackle me as a safety precaution. Thank you.
Googling around for Amanda Cox, I found a very detailed map of parking tickets in New York City for a year (link to review, which links to actual map). The amount of work put into things like this and The Ebb and Flow of Movies is impressive.

I have a similar problem, though I am not a photographer.

Don't forget, newspapers are dead, soon to be replaced by blogs.

If you see me in public with any of the handgun traits, it's probably because I'm carrying around a large, loaded handgun. I'm also a well-dressed, angry chimp, so you can decide for yourself how to play it, I guess.

I hope they get paid more than the people I know who do freelance illustration for the NYT.

Wait, R. Mutt, you hope the people you now are getting screwed out of lucrative NYTimes monies? That's not very neighborly.

Amanda, Shan Carter, and Joe Ward created Paths to the Top of the Home Run Charts, which I liked.
I think I'm so drawn to great infographics because they have "quality" written all over them. They seem perfect.
These make me think of Radical Cartography

I love these graphics. Amanda Cox in particular is unbelievable. I'd love to learn what methods and techniques they have developed to turn out these tools.
