Rusty hinge on an old door. Quayle Street, Sandy Bay. December 2011.The Internet is a wonderful place filled with the rich and varied treasures of the world holds (and photos of awkward families looking awkward). The following are some things that I've had a look at in the last week. I call this: a
Compendium of Click-throughs for Monday Morning...Reuters have compiled their best photos of the year 2011...
A fan of classical painting? You'll love Ugly Renaissance Babies then...
One for cricket buffs: Which was the most dominant Test side ever?
The decline and fall of the Kodak empire...
There is also this fantastic exploration of feminism in 2011 that explores the divides within the female sex. It's a long one, so set aside some time...
More heavy reading: a postmortem of the British riots...
On those riots, the Guardian has been running an extended series that has been quite interesting, this one in particular drew my eye: about the women who rioted, and how they differed from men.
Here's one to get the gamers up in arms: the Red Cross idea that the Geneva and Hague conventions should be applied to the fictional recreation of war in video games. I reckon that there is merit to at least consider how such laws can be bought to the attention to players.
The BBC's exploration as to just why the UK road sign is design classic...
ESPN's Grantland features some great writing and two pieces grabbed my attention this week: one on ice hockey's dangerous attitude to fighting; and another by Chuck Klosterman which is the best exploration of the Tebow phenomenon that I've read thus far.

I was watching Fire In Babylon on the weekend, thinking that anyone who doubts whether the Windies side between 1976 & 1991 were the best of the bunch, needs a history lesson...
...also, how awesome is Gordon Greenidge's moustache?
