That was a weird #SuperBowl. Hated to see #Ravens win but #Jacoby #Jones rocked! Feel bad for #Kaepernick. #Steelers in 2014! #SuperBowl47

Beyonce Super Bowl Halftime Show

So...I'm outside (way outside) the target demographic, but I thought @Beyonce was, as the kids would say, dope. #SuperBowl #SuperBowl47

The Invisible War

RIP Stefan Kudelski, inventor of the legendary Nagra. The magical device got me through school (many a moon ago).

The Hobbit: - An Unexpected Journey

The Hobbit - An Unexpected Journey: Umm, better than expected. Still, I wish I could've seen the rest of the awesome Star Trek IMAX preview.

Haywire

Haywire: Sadly, another great little Soderbergh film that no one saw. Wonder if McGregor looks at Fassbender and sees a younger version? ;-)

So #Tiger won at Torrey Pines...again. Get ready for the endless Tiger's Back stories on @ESPN...followed by Will Tiger Win Another Major.

Kim Clijsters Retires

You Know You're Too Old When: #Kim #Clijsters retires. Great player, nice person, disproved that whole Fitzgerald-no-second-act thing.
