Most of you might already know that but the New York Times have put together a nice site which breaks down the various pieces in the games. Looking at the Pro Football section of the site though, you don’t see any mention of it. I found out about it because I follow Jacob Harris on Twitter. He’s one of the developers at the NY Times.

As I mentioned, the site is very impressive and I really like the fact it is running Rails 2. I keep track of the things the NY Times is putting out because I hope it spurs us to keep trying new things, not always look for the home run but instead get some singles and doubles with little projects that can still make a large impact.

One very little thing but I found it cool was our Vote Cloud which you can see on the Campaign ‘08 page. It was put together by our new database journalist with some data from AP. I helped a bit just in getting him access to servers and the like. It’s things like that which brought me to the Times and I’m hoping you’ll see more of them soon.
