Here we are at the end of 2011, with a quick recap of another exciting year for this project. Some of the highlights:

• The Imagining the Tenth Dimension website has now had over 7 million unique visitors!
• My YouTube channel is currently at over 21,000 subscribers, and my videos have seen six million views. I'm currently at 403 uploaded videos.
• I was interviewed by Ben Good for a piece he wrote for Scientific American: Has Science Gone Viral? 
• I was interviewed on live talk shows by Anthony Peake (The Peake Experience) , Rea Wilkie (Your Life Now), and the team of Jake Kettle and Rob Wood (Truth Transmission). 
• More of my videos were translated into Spanish, including Language and the Mind and Changing Your Brain. A German version of my original animation was also released. 
• After receiving a number of requests to do so, I've gone back to the style of my original animation and am now releasing a series of videos which explain my approach to visualizing each dimension in more detail. The first in the series is Imagining the Second Dimension, and these videos will work all the way up to the ninth dimension over the next couple of months.
• Just for fun, I released a series of videos for songs from my 1983 album Rob Bryanton - Alcohol and Other Drugs. This album, a collection of pop/rock songs featuring my good friends Jack Semple on guitar/bass and Cal Harle on drums, was quite innovative for its time: songs from the album received radio playlist airplay, but the album was recorded on four-track cassette. Check it out, I'm still very proud of this album.
• As we saw in The 5th Dimensional Camera Project, a team of scientists at Oxford were introduced to my way of visualizing the extra dimensions by Anab Jain and Jon Ardern, and one of those scientists participated in a video explaining the fifth dimension as our "probability space", a concept I promote with this project.
• It was also very exciting to see that in 2011 well-known physicists Leonard Susskind and Raphael Bousso published a proof equating the branching probabilistic outcomes of Everett's Many Worlds with the string theory multiverse. This is one of the central assumptions of my project, that the extra dimensions of string theory have a way of relating to Everett's Theory of the Universal Wavefunction. Here's a link to Sean Carroll's blog entry about the new proof, and here is a link to the paper as it was published at arxiv.org.
• My company Talking Dog Studios continued to develop expertise in Augmented Reality, and created a set of kiosks which are on permanent display at the Mall of America, in an installation called Create Your Mayo Clinic Health Experience. Meanwhile, our Augmented Reality game ScavengAR Hunt, which can be played on iPhones and Android Phones, is continuing to develop a worldwide audience, and other smart phone demonstrations like our Halloween AR have also been popular.
• O is for Omniverse, my followup book created in collaboration with visual artist Marilyn E. Robertson continues to be available at Omniverse.tv, and other Imagining the Tenth Dimension books, t-shirts, and DVDs are available at www.tenthdimension.com/store. Meanwhile, at www.tenthdimension.com/digital, various files are available for download, including high quality versions of the original animation, books in non-copy-protected pdf format, mp3s of various songs, and the audiobook version of Imagining the Tenth Dimension. The first two sections of the audiobook (the Preamble and the Introduction) are also posted on YouTube.
  

As we see up at the top here, I've been posting monthly reports with "top ten blogs of the month" and the latest top 26 blogs of all time for almost four years now, and at the end of 2008, 2009, and again at the end of 2010 I published a Top 100 Tenth Dimension list. I'd like to continue that tradition this year, so the list below is in the same format as the last two years, showing the month the blog entry originates from. Also, just for interest's sake, I've put a number at the end of each line indicating the position that blog entry held in our 2010 report. Thank you tenth dimension fans for your support!

Enjoy the journey in 2012!
