If I had given it another 6 days, it would have been all of 2 posts over the last month. True writer’s block, I guess. In past times, I’ve been able to resort to movie reviews, memes, random thoughts on tech and… you know, those items that apparently interest almost no-one but me. To fill

..at least for another year. I’ve paid for it. I’m going to pay for it. Ah well. I think I should get down to one of those challenges where you post every single day for a month or something. One of these days, I might. Back to remaining deathly silent here.. complaining that I can’t

There were many options that struck me when I heard of Ada Lovelace Day (HT: Raghu). At first, I wanted to take the safe options and just write about Blissenobiarella or Dors Venabili.

Stuff that struck me while reading about Sachin Tendulkar’s nearly unbelievable* feat, most of which will be repeated everywhere I look over the next few days/weeks: On this day 21 years ago He completed a 664-run partnership with Kambli. Twenty-f*ckin-one. His 200 contained 25 boundaries (the most by a single batsman in an ODI till

There have been any number of reviews about the latest from the Bollywood stable (My Name is Khan) – ranging from vitriolic to sarcastic/mocking to adulatory.

This is the 4th attempt I’m making at trying for a halfway decent beginning to a post. Have I really been reduced to saying such banalities? I can’t quite believe it. When I look at my front page, most of my recent posts are about movies. Reviews, basically. Most of my recent posts have also

Avatar is a mind-bogglingly spectacular extravaganza, proving Cameron has truly reinvented cinema as we know it. I can only hope it pays off. It would be sad if such movies are not made because they don’t make enough at the box office. IMAX 3D only. Please. Don’t insult the man’s effort. No 2D. No IMAX

[Thoughts due to: io9: Who Created Spider-Man? ] It is a deal-breaking case that has been filed against Marvel Comics, probably fueled by the recent success of Siegel vs DC for the Superman copyright (and the acquisition of Marvel by Disney too?).
