Photograph #22: Hannah Stilley, born in 1746, is photographed in 1840. She is probably the earliest born individual ever captured in a film photograph.
So cool.

Typographers' List of the 25 Most Admired Fonts●
Wednesday, Nov 26, 2014
Why, you may ask, does this list of beautiful fonts show up in my browser at this point in time?
Well, we’re coming up on the first anniversary of this blog. And I’m hoping to unveil an early Christmas present on that day.
Maybe it’ll only be a Christmas present to me. Either way, I’m excited. It’s going to be a fun day.
2014's Highest Paid Athletes●
Wednesday, Nov 26, 2014
This Forbes article is a little old already, but it’s one of those articles that results from a few clicks down a rabbit hole. The most mesmerizing stat: Floyd Mayweather made $105 million for 72 minutes of work in the 12 months prior to June. Holy smokes.
My rabbit holes almost always begin with some sort of business or financial article. This specific time, it started with the NHL’s highest paid players for the 2014-2015 season. I’m a big Sidney Crosby fan, so anything reporting on his financial earnings had me chomping at the bit.
And, along those same lines, Forbes just reported on the valuations of NHL teams for the 2014-2015 season. NHL club valuations rose an average of 18.6% following a massive Rogers Communications deal to broadcast all games in Canada. (Which, by the way, is the worst thing to happen to hockey broadcasting in our country. Coverage has improved, but the broadcasters/commentators/analysts involved take away from CBC’s famous Hockey Night in Canada experience.)
Lastly, I’m proud to see that three of the six most valuable NHL clubs are located north of the border. Without a doubt, hockey is our game both on the ice and at the box office.
