Shortly afterwards, George Neame posted the second blog article, his review of Emeli Sande’s debut album, Our Version of Events, which had only been released the day before.
We went from 4 articles published that February to 45 in March: focusing on a dizzying range of subjects, from a live-blog of Chancellor George Osborne’s Budget to coverage of the racist killing of Trayvon Martin in the USA, war crimes in Syria and Afghanistan, 'hacktivism', the UK 'cash for questions' scandal, and proposals for a third runway at Heathrow, as well as a celebration of mathematical equations as an art form, reviews of poetry, novels, music and films, an investigation of the psychological impact of fashion, a reflection on whether or not Titus Livius was a moral historian, and a farewell to bluegrass legend Earl Scruggs.
Today the 4,357th article is published, celebrating the blog's "Decade of Discussion, Discovery and Diversity".
