I found MetaCritic very useful for compiling music and film reviews from various media sources. Expecially useful was the best of from the last couple of years. Thought probably a gross over simplification, the idea of taking all media reviews down to a single 1-100 point scale is genious.

Also interesting is I am attempting to use this webpage thumbnail generation tool. Sort of hideous in its compression but i figured these sparce posts would be more interesting with a visual to boot.

It will be interesting to see how long this thumbnail is valid.
