The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - Jeremy Brett
One of my all time favorite re-enactments of a literary character has to be Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes in the BBC series. Have been re-watching a lot of this lately as our Roku/Netflix box has the whole series on demand. Jeremy Brett is everything I imagined Sherlock Holmes to be and more. David Suchet as Hercule Poirot comes close. - Arvind Sundararajan from Likaholix

NOVA - Becoming Human
Awesome series on NOVA about human evolution. The second part was much better than the first. Only nit I have so far was that they produced this before the Ardipithicus find - so I think that the first bit is a little dated in some details. Looking forward to the final one next week. - Arvind Sundararajan from Likaholix
The Selfish Gene
Another great Dawkins book. He is a great science writer and this book clearly explains the gene centered view of evolution. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - Arvind Sundararajan from Likaholix
HBO: Bored To Death - http://likaholix.com/arvind...
My new favorite HBO show. Jason Schwartzman is great in this show and his Ted Danson's characters are hilarious. - Arvind Sundararajan from Likaholix
I'm still on the fence on this show, I'm watching but after every episode I debate about removing the season pass. It still seems a little "hey, look at me being witty". - Carl Haynes

Sphinx - open source search engine
One of the best open source search packages out there. Fast, well supported and very flexible. - Arvind Sundararajan from Likaholix
One of my all time favorites - love the Cajun shrimp and the mushrooms. Good Sangria as well. - Arvind Sundararajan from Likaholix
Revolutionary Road - http://likaholix.com/arvind...
Revolutionary Road
Excellent movie - just managed to see it. Kate Winslet is great in the movie and lots of the dialogue seems like it could be taking place in peoples' homes today :) - Arvind Sundararajan from Likaholix
Dancing with the Stars - http://likaholix.com/eliisch...
This is a really fun show. Great to watch some celebrities dance - Arvind Sundararajan from Likaholix
ALLAGASH - FOUR
Another great beer from Allagash. Had this from the tap at the Monk's Kettle recently. - Arvind Sundararajan from Likaholix
Webpass has been the best ISP that I have used so far. They provide line of sight based services which give you symmetrical 50MBps (in practice we get around 40) in San Francisco and Oakland. If you live in a building in San Francisco, then I would highly recommend getting their service for your building - very cost effective and beats the pants out of Comcast. - Arvind Sundararajan from Likaholix
I like the empanadas and also the piperade that they have on weekend brunches - Arvind Sundararajan from Likaholix
Tech Support Cheat Sheet - http://xkcd.com/627/
Somehow missed this when it came out, but saw it recently. Another classic Woody Allen - both Jason Biggs and Christina Ricci are great in the movie. - Arvind Sundararajan from Likaholix
I think this movie is as good as The Sixth Sense. In some ways, better. - Arvind Sundararajan from Likaholix
Remembered this from a discussion with some friends. Fairly interesting concept movie where four different cameras and soundtracks are presented together on screen (all telling different parts of the same story). Surprisingly you can follow the action without getting distracted - there is usually one of the frames which has the prominent soundtrack - Arvind Sundararajan from Likaholix
Inglourious Basterds - http://likaholix.com/arvind...
Inglourious Basterds
Saw it last night! Another great Tarantino movie - not quite the Kill Bill and Pulp Fiction levels, but still great. Loved the tavern scene. - Arvind Sundararajan from Likaholix
De Dolle Brouwers - http://likaholix.com/arvind...
De Dolle Brouwers
Another great beer from De Dolle. Had this at the City Beer store yesterday. Stille Nacht is still my favorite though! - Arvind Sundararajan from Likaholix
Awesome SSH client for the iphone. I actually used it to log into one of our servers from a restaurant a while ago. - Arvind Sundararajan from Likaholix
Roku Digital Video Player - http://likaholix.com/arvind...
Roku Digital Video Player
We have had it for a while, but recently I think the Netflix on demand collection has improved a lot. Neat little box and we also have seen a bunch of stuff from Amazon using it. - Arvind Sundararajan from Likaholix
New bar from the owners of Bourbon and Branch. Same level of awesome cocktails in a more "normal" bar settings - meaning loud and crowded. They also serve beer. - Arvind Sundararajan from Likaholix
The Victorian Internet: The Remarkable Story of the Telegraph - http://likaholix.com/arvind...
The Victorian Internet: The Remarkable Story of the Telegraph
I read this a little while ago. Its a great little book describing the early day of the telegraph - the author draws a lot of comparisions to the Internet bubble of 2000. - Arvind Sundararajan from Likaholix
Saw this old movie last night. Great display of Roman Polanski's moviemaking skills. The movie has great sense of urgency and suspense even as the director intersperses slow scenes along with action sequences. - Arvind Sundararajan from Likaholix
Battlestar Galactica - http://likaholix.com/arvind...
Battlestar Galactica
We started seeing this on Netflix. Good mix of action and story. We just finished seasons 1-3. - Arvind Sundararajan from Likaholix
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd - TV Movie - http://likaholix.com/arvind...
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd - TV Movie
One my favorite episodes in the Poirot tv show starring David Suchet. He is the perfect Poirot BTW and this episode begins with this classic line: "... I was flung back into the midst of the most perversely fascinating work that there is in the world: the study of human nature ..." - Arvind Sundararajan from Likaholix
Chinese checkers
One of my favorite childhood board games. Would play a lot of this with my cousins over summer holidays. - Arvind Sundararajan from Likaholix
Amazing cheese that I recently bought. Mixture of goat, sheep and cows milk. Very soft, creamy and tasty! - Arvind Sundararajan from Likaholix
Another great Terry Gilliam movie. Bruce Willis is great in this movie. - Arvind Sundararajan from Likaholix
Great movie. We saw the 3D version. Was almost as good as Incredibles in terms of story. - Arvind Sundararajan from Likaholix
Consecration - Russian River Beer - http://likaholix.com/arvind...
Consecration - Russian River Beer
Finally tried this beer - its pretty good overall. It takes a few sips to get used to the fairly sourish strong taste, but it really grows on you. - Arvind Sundararajan from Likaholix

Braun MR430HC Hand Blender
We got this a week or so ago. Very useful in the kitchen - perfect for making sauces purees etc for Indian cooking. - Arvind Sundararajan from Likaholix
