One of my proudest moments. Thanks.
WHOA-LGERS Milwaukee-based photographer Jack Long uses high-speed photography to capture the moment splashes are made in cups of coffee. He won’t reveal exactly how his technique works, except to say that the technique employs “short-duration flash lighting.” And perhaps not using decaf.

New York Times deputy graphics editor Matthew Ericson searches for the earliest election map produced by the paper. Also included in his post are a couple of examples of how the map changed in following years.
Or at least the first one published on the day after the election? A year or two ago, I went digging thru the archives to see if I could find the first election results map published in an edition of the Times dated the day after the election. This is the earliest one I found, which was published in the Wednesday, November 4, 1896 edition of the paper and headlined “A map showing how all the states in the union have cast their electoral votes, those which have gone for M’Kinley being in white and those for Bryan in black.”
They replaced the lower-case “c” in “McKinley” with an apostrophe? SHORTCUT JOURNALISM, NEW YORK TIMES!!!
