NYT Multimedia

Hey guys:

I found this on New York Times online and it just rocked my socks.
It's an interview called "Good, Bad and Ugly" with Dr. Zombardo who did the Stanford prison experiment back in the 70s. But more impressively I just love the flash player style NYT.com is using and I think it's going to set the stage for multimedia online. I also love that you can double click on any word and it will give you a definition of the word. Anyway here's a link to the video:

Enjoy!
