10:17 Love the Samsung Galaxy Tab TV ad. Voiceover: "It's time for a better tablet" Fine print at bottom of screen: "than 2010 Galaxy Tab" #
10:05 TV switched on for first time since December 30, 2011. Haven't missed it at all! #
01:43 As an Australian I had to double-check when I saw the tweets about Gary Ablett's passing. Its the ex-Liverpool/Everton player. Very sad news #

Here again is my annual selection of the biggest stories in world cricket in the 2011 calendar year. Unlike all the media agencies whose end-of-year lists have to be finalised in early December to meet deadlines, this list, which I have compiled on an intermittent basis since 1996, doesn’t go to deadline until after the Boxing Day Tests were completed in Melbourne and Durban.

20:35 Ugh. #cricketmovies is morphing into #ALeagueMovies #
16:01 Impressed that a car rally staged in Argentina, Chile and Peru is still being named after the capital city of Senegal. #
14:23 Can "brady bunch" be used as a generic noun to describe two families of kids married together? Or have I just added to the English language? #

23:51 This item from the NY Times baseball blog comes with one of 2011's most awesome corrections - http://t.co/G7PW9Ztv #baseball #LOTR #
23:06 A fairly pointless #nswpol #Newspoll. If anything it shows that Labor has had barely any rebound since the last election. #
21:47 There is no better way to follow the Vienna #newyearsconcert than with @BernardKeane's live-tweeting, and no sound or vision. #
21:01 The ANC's centenary is approaching RT @mailandguardian History may be written by the victors, but who gets top billing? http://t.co/XKDtGxWB #
20:51 A curious choice for the two people who @rupertmurdoch follows. No one from Newscorp! #
20:01 One good thing about New Year is that all those American NGOs have stopped emailing me asking for tax-deductible donations. #
19:01 From Dave Zirin (@EdgeofSports): Final piece of year for @thenation 2011: The Year I Learned to Hate College Football http://t.co/5KxUfCPw #

18:23 The Olympics are this year? Blerrgh #
14:54 Wondering if John Howard obtained his Order of Merit on merit. #auspol #
12:00 70 full calendar years after his death, the works of James Joyce come out of copyright. Time for that Finnegan's Wake mashup... #
11:52 So how did @rupertmurdoch get a verified badge so quickly? #
09:45 Adam Shand's disturbing article on Peter Roebuck in today's Sunday Age paints a tragic picture indeed - http://t.co/Y9YATsG7 #
08:15 I love the peace and serenity of a glorious New Years morning while the metropolis sleeps. #
00:02 If you want three more verses the rest is at http://t.co/JB7xmDut #auldlangsyne #
00:02 And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp / and surely I'll be mine / and we'll tak a cup o'kindness yet / for auld lang syne. [rpt chorus] #

00:01 Happy new year! #
