Nouniversary site
SerNoadz created a special Nouniversary site that shows some of the highlights of the first year of Nouns - link.
Nouniversary 24-hour stream
The Noun Square team recently put on a 24h twitter spaces stream for the Nouniversary and it was really well-received, with over 1400 unique attendees (and listeners never dropping below 100 all night and day.) The team interviewed more than 60 nounish guests from around the world, gave away over 1 ETH in prizes (+ one POAP every hour on the hour) and created a ton of awesome memories for everyone who dropped in. Nounsfolk are already asking “when’s the next one?” (The Noun Square was unavailable for a comment on this question.)
Gunnar casting the Grand Finals
One of the Nouns Dota players, Gunnar, is currently casting the Grand Finals of Arlington Major in front of hundreds of thousands of online viewers (almost 150k on one stream alone) - link.
Sadly he wasnt able to bring noggles (even though we shipped them expressly, he wasnt allowed to have them on).
