Trending Tuesday

This is what's trending to me, not necessarily the rest of the world.
  1. Coachella - the annual music festival to end all festivals, held in Indio, California, has announced the 2012 lineup.  For the first time, it will span two weekends - April 13-15 and April 20-22.  The headliners:  Radiohead, The Black Keys, and Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg.  Passes for the weekend are $285.  At The Drive-In and Refused are staging reunions as well, which is sure to sell some tickets.
  2. NBA Jam - the Sega Genesis classic is available on iTunes for $0.99 - yes, that's not a typo.  I bought it and thoroughly enjoy playing it, even though I chose the Memphis Grizzlies as my team.  Only issue I have is that the rosters are not updated to reflect the current NBA season, but I hope that issue might be resolved in an update.  O.J. Mayo is my guy and I tend to partner him with Rudy Gay.
  3. Astronomy - I have been avidly using my telescope at night, trying to get some glimpses of outer space.  The moon is easy to find.  The stars are easy to find as well, there are a million of them.  Trying to figure out which ones are which is difficult, but it's fun.  Jupiter, the "gas giant" still eludes me, however, but I am going to keep trying.  I've joined astronomyforum.net in hopes of getting some insight into what I need to do and to keep up with what's happening up in outer space.
  4. Nolan - he woke up.  I'm signing off.
