I love that Times photo Vincent Laforet took. As for the Times printing, they shifted all publishing from Queens (might be the bigger plant?) to NJ and decided to streamline the content, ie publish less pages.

(n.b., printing is just half the story -- no pun intended)

Sterling - yeah, it's a good thing their printing plant is in Jersey, but I'm still amazed that they got all their content together ready for printing, considering the circumstances. and I guess everyone at the Times -- at the shift when the blackout occurred -- stayed in the city and/or stayed in the offices for the duration.

The Times's printing plant has a generator

Red - the New York Times is printed in Central Jersey. I doubt the plant even lost power. The Wall Street Journal, on the other hand, published a paper 9/12/01, the day after their offices were destroyed. THAT's unstoppable.

I just saw the Matrix Reloaded(first time) on Imax, and they had to black out 27 blocks. I sometimes wonder if people just post comments so they can promote their own blogs (http://digitalhamster.org)? Hey, we have plenty of great black out photos. Unfortunately it was dark so they didn't come out. I have grown tired of Gawker, yet I still keep coming back to Gothamist. I feel like the Gothamist is just more "fair and balanced." Good night.

call me a freak, but I was totally amazed to see a fresh copy of The New York Times midday yesterday, down in Red Hook (that photo was great wasn't it?). those people are totally unstoppable.
