  1. Excerpts from William Shakespeare's "Battleship": ow.ly/bidnD (Thankse plentif'l to @mcsweeneys) 25 minutes ago via HootSuite
  2. Who has seen #Prometheus? And what did you think? about 2 hours ago via HootSuite
  3. @nickelmoon Apparently it's gorgeous. He's an amazing world-builder and he does...that Ridley Scott thing with light. I'd see it for that. about 2 hours ago via HootSuite in reply to nickelmoon
  4. @nickelmoon Every review of Prometheus, I meant. about 2 hours ago via HootSuite in reply to nickelmoon
  5. @nickelmoon Yup, a classic. Every review I read looks on it as such. Filled with mystery and dread. Few films manage that combination well. about 2 hours ago via HootSuite in reply to nickelmoon
  6. @daveursillo A pleasure, sir. :) about 2 hours ago via HootSuite in reply to DaveUrsillo
  7. New book "Photographs Not Taken", where photographers were unable or unwilling to shoot - ow.ly/bif68 (via @nytimes & @ReineOG) about 3 hours ago via HootSuite
  8. @daveursillo ...it's very multimedia & export format friendly, and $9.99 a year for the Pro version (Lite is free). Good stuff. about 3 hours ago via HootSuite in reply to DaveUrsillo
  9. @daveursillo Same, and paper & pen makes my brain work better. :) But although haven't got to grips with MindMaple properly yet... about 3 hours ago via HootSuite in reply to DaveUrsillo
  10. @daveursillo I'm testing MindMaple (mindmaple.com) for review purposes at the moment. Fantastic drag-to-create-branch interface. about 3 hours ago via HootSuite in reply to DaveUrsillo
  11. RT @BreakingNews Greece's power regulator calls emergency meeting next week to avert collapse of electricity & natural gas system - @Reuters about 4 hours ago via HootSuite
  12. @mrdavidwhitley Same here. It's unlocked so much for me. Baffles me when some people *still* equate Twitter to 100% dimwitted spammery. about 4 hours ago via HootSuite in reply to mrdavidwhitley
  13. Lighthouses: they scare the crap out of me. (The "being in them" bit). This gallery isn't helping: ow.ly/bidQV Via @buzzfeed about 4 hours ago via HootSuite
  14. And I'm sad that we now get an explanation (of sorts). It's Ridley Scott's call, but...I liked the implication that humans know very little. about 4 hours ago via web
  15. ...what I loved about the first half of 'Alien' was the unknowable mystery of it. It didn't need explaining. Not knowing made it haunting. about 4 hours ago via web
  16. So, it seems 'Prometheus' is a mythology-addled love letter to Erich von Däniken. Haven't seen it, obviously should do so first, but... about 5 hours ago via web
  17. Chinese newspaper to wannabe tourists to Europe: "do not talk to strangers while going solo" (ow.ly/bi9DD) Lonely philosophy, guys. about 5 hours ago via HootSuite
