As PfRC turns fifteen we wanted to once again extend our thanks and gratitude to our readership and to the members of the wider blogosphere (listed under our Smรธgรฅsblog) for their sustainment and inspiration that keeps the internet curious, entertaining, engrossing and engaging.
Since hitting our last milestone, here’s a roundup of some of our most popular posts with a few honourable mentions:
10. A post on the New York premier of Stravinsky’s Firebird with Marie Tallchief
9. A growing collection of bad book covers
8. The oldest formal data protection law from the State of Hessen, promulgated in 1970
7. a city map generator with a nice aesthetic
6. the graphic design of Joe and Elinor Selame
5. Street photographer Harold Feinstein
4. The tyranny of time
3. an AI presents the most popular Halloween candy for each US state
2. an unusual beach house in Baja California
1. The celebration of the Discovery of the True Cross
Honourable mentions go to a claymation short expressing evolving human conscious, a scopitone classic and pie charts to dissect our anxieties
Wishing you all the best for the balance of the year and don’t be a stranger!
