The third episode of the third series of Sherlock is full of twists and redirection. We learn much about Mrs. Watson, the Holmes’ parents, and Sherlock’s dog while weaving in and out of a very twisted plot. There are plenty of references to pop culture including calling Sherlock a blunt instrument in reference to James Bond.…

Yet another brilliant episode. Sherlock must give the best man’s toast at Watson’s wedding. The episode is intertwined with small mysteries culminating in a big reveal or three at the end. Sherlock’s manic nature is on full display. There’s a touching moment at the end and where the show continues to dance around Sherlock’s sexual preference, orientation, or lack there of.…

I caught the first of the three Sherlock episodes on the BBC iPlayer. The episode is called
The Empty Hearse and it refers to the fact that Sherlock faked his death at the end of the last season. The episode is full of speculation as to how he’d done it picking up right where the teaser webisode left off.…

I’m actually really happy with my
AppleTV. I have one in each room. They work with a shared
iTunes library to deliver movies, TV shows and occasionally music around my house. I like the addition of new channels even though some are still tied to old school cable service if you want to actually use them.…

I finally saw
The Desolation of Smaug and really enjoyed it. I’m not much of a fan of the Lord of the Rings. I’ve read the books and seen the movies. I actually liked the
Two Towers. I have a hard time staying awake through the extended tedium of watching hobbittes walk to a fro.…

I’m out of the office and away from home this week. I’m relying on my iPhone to provide my Internet connection. I have a 10GB data plan that more than covers my needs. Yet, I keep hitting these limits that are preventing me from using my phone.…

I first read Ender’s Game back when “Children of the Mind” was not yet available in paperback. I really enjoyed the novel. I enjoyed the sequels but felt that it was weird the way the two stories were melded together. I felt that Ender’s Game was fine as a self-contained story and it did not need three sequels.…
