Well this is very nice, it looks like New York Magazine has taken a cue from my work on Atlantic Yards, from the Atlantic Yards Map and produced a similar illustration of Ratnermania for a recent article:



Of course this is where they got the look:


Which was partly based on the fine work of John Keegan.

But I have to say, I was a little surprised that there was no mention of onNYTurf anywhere in the article - at least not that I found using a quick text search of the pages. Unspoken internet karma rules would suggest that some credit was in order. Despite criticism from the big media, big media these days actually relies more and more on the blogs for content and content ideas. It not only would be good karma, but it would be good business sense to keep up our enthusiasm by mentioning their blog sources when they get ideas and content from them.

However, not to give New York Magazine too hard a time, because it is completely awesome to see big media independently producing renderings and other visualizations for a report and not just relying on the developer's glamor renderings! Showing the media how to do this and that they should be doing this has been one of my personal goals with these projects. Kudos to Chris Smith and his editors for this!
