SendGrid is awesome! Just switched to SendGrid from AuthSMTP. Currently just using it as a relay, but it already is a much better product with better prices. No extra code needed for handling spam and bounces and very little upfront setup

Saw it last night! Another great Tarantino movie - not quite the Kill Bill and Pulp Fiction levels, but still great. Loved the tavern scene.

Got some awesome Kathi rolls and Chicken Vindaloo burritos from this place tonight outside Bloodhound (finally after hearing about them for a while).

By far my favorite television character. The video is the court scene where he is a witness and says the killer line: "I got my shotgun, you got your briefcase"

Finally saw this the other night. Johnny Depp is brilliant as usual - overall the movie was pretty good but not excellent.

Awesome new South Indian restaurant in SOMA - food is home made and excellent. The Nellore Fish curry was to die for and there are all kinds of other great dishes on the menu.

Was pleasantly surprised by this excellent take on Sherlock Holmes by Guy Ritchie. I am a huge Sherlock Holmes fan and the Jeremy Brett TV series was one of my favorite reenactments. However, this movie is a very different take on Holmes while still staying true to the spirit of the character. Guy Ritchie's best since Lock Stock

Finally read this latest Le Carre on my Kindle. I am a huge Le Carre fan and have wanted to read a modern post 9/11 book from him and this book is just that. The story itself is not as intrigue filled as some of his classic Smiley/Karla ones (Drummer Girl, Smiley's People) but definitely better than Mission Song and Constant Gardner. I see some potential for another Smiley like character to emerge from this book.

Just saw this on IMAX 3D - The story and plot could have been better, given the concepts. Definitely worth seeing for the special effects.

Exceeded expectations. Got our moneys worth of great action and overall destruction scenes. Could have been edited better toward the second half - got a bit too long and melodramatic.

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.

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.

My new favorite HBO show. Jason Schwartzman is great in this show and his Ted Danson's characters are hilarious.

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".

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 :)

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.

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.
