Has it been 31.56 quadrillion nanoseconds already? Little did I know, exactly one year ago today, that Mostly Amazing would end up with more than 30,000 page views, 10,000-plus unique visitors, and 17 Tony Award nominations. OK, there have been no Tony noms, yet, but the site was up for "Best Blog" at the Ontario Tourism Awards (where it ended up losing to Meryl Streep). The good news was that its (mostly) amazingness may well have helped yours truly nab the "Media Award" at that deliciously appetizered event.
Those awards yielded the site's most popular (and shortest!) post of the year, which incidentally had nothing whatsoever to do with the corresponding mania for all things Rob Ford. But blogging isn't a popularity contest -- unless you want to run a successful blog -- so I've compiled a list of my 10 favourite posts of the past 12 months. As the Sirius Cybernetics Corp. Complaints Division likes to say, please share and enjoy...
