Ya know what this just made me think? You seldom the names of the people attached to big projects like this. I won’t list their full names (because not EVERYONE wants their names appearing in blog comments — I know, right?), but Andrew and Stokes and Gareth and nearly a dozen other people worked on this too. There should be a credit reel.

Jim, get back to work.

But seriously, the design work here is almost exclusively Ashley Wells, who’s a genius. My contributions on this one were more around functionality… basically, never relenting in saying the words “embeddable player” in every meeting.

Congrats to all.

didn’t actually mean for it to sound that way. but if you wanna take it that way, i’d say you’re well within your rights.

and those msnbc designs pre-rex? “gawd awful” was the word on the street (if i recall).

cheers!

Yep, tdc, we’re all just a bunch of hopeless idiots without Rex here telling us what to do.

rex may have left the building, but it looks like they learned a few things by having him there.

pretty clean.

Wow. Very cool. I love the integration between the player and the text below, and the web only clips, of course. Still dont like the 30 second commercials, though. As for the embedding, I believe its a first for a TV-related news site anywhere.
