This has been QUITE a year and we’re taking this week to reflect and look back (while we look forward). We start with this image of Nik Wallenda walking a tightrope over Niagara Falls from The Big Picture’s The 45 Most Powerful Images Of 2012; we often feel like that, in our own small way.
We love Google’s Year in Review 2012 Zeitgeist video (and bless them for including Pussy Riot). (Video link here.)
And have been poking around Manhattan User’s Guide’s unbelievable List of Lists, which features 45 or so (we lost count) lists. Our favorites:
