Some of my favorites from past to present: 

Financial Times
Federal Reserve
IMF
The World Bank
World Economic Forum

Some you may not like the elitist bias, but they have vast data sets too!

More importantly,
Golf Scotland
Perfect in high wind and driving rain, followed by a glass (or two) of the MacAllans.

Further contributions to the Compendium are welcome, of course.

that touch so déjà vu LOL

Vico cycles maybe?

Here are four information sources, the first two are interesting from a quantitative perspective and the second two for general quality of life.

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS)
"SDSS-V is the first facility providing multi-epoch optical & IR spectroscopy across the entire sky, as well as offering contiguous integral-field spectroscopic coverage of the Milky Way and Local Volume galaxies. This panoptic spectroscopic survey continues the strong SDSS legacy of innovative data and collaboration infrastructure."

See the paper that covers the latest release (DR19) here:

The Nineteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey - on arXiv submitted July 9 2025

and as an accompaniment for a celestial journey:

The Flavor Bible (on Amazon)

The Vegetarian Flavor Bible (on Amazon)

I have both books and I think the cooking enthusiasts here might enjoy them.

There is a famous book for jazz musicians that features basic scores for hundreds of standards.

Easy to find these songs on youtube and the book can come with backing tracks on a USB flash drive.

The Real Book – Volume 1 - Hal Leonard

The first song is enchanting and I am working on that, among others, as a winter project now.

Fleurette Africaine - Duke Ellington

I have a few of them, just need the time to sit down and study them a bit better. 

This is useful - I have a framed copy on the wall nearby.

Circle of Fifths

For the creative community here, here is a good resource for avant garde films. Anthology Film Archives was founded in 1970 by Jonas Mekas, Jerome Hill, P. Adams Sitney, Peter Kubelka, and Stan Brakhage. Not necessarily names you would recognize right away, but they are very well known in the experimental film community here; an art school friend introduced me to this area in the 1980s. 

AFA is working on making more of their collection available online and also provides links to other resources (See Film and Video on the Collections page).

No need to do Super-8 or 16 mm to video transfers these days. With an iPhone, the world is your oyster!

Enjoy!
