Tough loss for the #Heat against what was essentially a 2nd-string #Bulls team. Bad news for the Eastern Finals and this #LeBron fan. #NBA

From The Sky Down

From the Sky Down: Gripping inside look at the fractured history of Achtung Baby. Will the recent U2 albums get the same introspection? ;-)

Pony Excess

KKR Finally Wins An IPL Match

Our long #Bengali nightmare is over! #KKR finally won their first game of the #IPL season. So, now what do we complain about?! #IPL5

RIP Jack Tramiel

RIP Jack Tramiel. Founder of Commodore. Our first computer was a VIC-20. I owe Jack for lots of *old* fond family memories.

Namath: Entertaining HBO documentary about good old Broadway Joe. They sure don't make 'em like this anymore do they? Lotsa fun.

Rubicon

Rubicon: One of the greatest TV shows I've ever seen, seriously! The very heights of craftsmanship! Naturally it was canceled early. @AMC_TV

08 April 2012

Bubba Watson Wins The Masters

In-bloody-credible win for #Bubba #Watson who pulled a #Seve-Meets-#Phil kinda #Masters miracle! Tough luck for #Louis #Oosthuizen & #Lefty.

RIP Thomas Kinkade

RIP Thomas Kinkade. I'll light a candle in a cottage window for him.

Alcatraz

Alcatraz: Fun show that sadly ended just when it was finding its groove. Plus, it's always good to see Hurley, Jesminder, Max & Alan Grant!

The Thin Man

The Thin Man: Who knew alcoholism could be this delightful? I choose to believe that Powell & Loy were actually Nick and Nora. Lovely stuff.
