radio free albemuth is a flawed novel redeemed by exploring great ideas; the film adaptation is ok but cheap & let down by being too literal

channelling that energy into something constructive, i hope

just bought 5 albums off itunes, adding another couple to my wish list; definitely an experience as good as or better than physical stores

31October2010 02:56

the windows 7 phone "season of the witch" ad is a *much* better version of the save-us-from-our-phones concept http://youtu.be/Dv-fbO-_xl0

off to the mca to check out primavera in its final weeks

30October2010 07:37

RED was excellent — great action, lots of fun; the great cast really make it

30October2010 03:00

and I love that they've created a space to showcase australian designers, even if its footprint isn't as big as zara's (which is enormous!)

westfield pitt st dances around the line between glam and garish, but all told is a huge leap forward for sydney's shopping precinct

Sydney at dusk http://instagr.am/p/GYsJ/

love this city

28October2010 06:46

so there's a @GrudenGroup redesign coming, with a sneak (temporary) preview in http://blog.gruden.com/2010/10/on-practising-what-you-preach/

27October2010 09:29

"you will never be more beautiful or thin or happy than you are right now"; how depressing #gossipgirl

27October2010 08:09

ooh just noticed i'm at 1024 tweets — that's kinda like a thousand, if you're a geek

25October2010 10:44

I won't be in the country; pls ppl, do this for me RT @Two_Thousand Don't forget Mos Def tix on sale 9am tomorrow y'all http://bit.ly/dnH2t3

23October2010 09:34

neil jordan's breakfast on pluto was great! so sweet, emotional, and cillian murphy is incredible, and quite convincingly transgender

23October2010 05:50

I'm gonna have to count my beans now RT @sydsymph Ludwig van Beethoven would grind exactly 60 beans when brewing a cup of coffee

23October2010 03:30

coming around re 3d in movies; still lots awful out there, but see, eg, tron, which looks dumb but so stunning I'll see it immediately

23October2010 03:13

resident evil was fun, good 3d, terribly sloppy storytelling though; now out for the last bit of sun before the storm rolls in

21October2010 02:09

mac app store looks good, long overdue; mb air looks incredible, in engineering as much as design; but why announce OSX a year in advance?

21October2010 01:48

noting of course that just about any western article about china sets off my "iffy" sensor; lots of room for misunderstanding there

21October2010 01:46

chinese media announce Nobel winners, leave out peace prize; interesting/iffy article at @newmatilda http://bit.ly/dmqGla /via @kid_twist

"i don't kiss" "is that even possible? it sounds like an evolutionary dead end" http://amultiverse.com/2010/10/19/last-date/

20October2010 02:26

impressed with bookdepository.co.uk; picked up the new iain banks culture novel for half price; website has smart checkout/register process

19October2010 08:58

considered making this, my thousandth tweet, more momentous, but in the spirit of twitter I've gone for banal and self-referential instead

19October2010 00:18

stepped out of the office to see an ad: "lotus knows that you've stepped out of the office"; creepy — I don't want my office stalking me!

17October2010 07:55

let me in a reasonably executed remake, but the thematic elements of the transplant to 80s america were too clunky to warrant an adaptation

17October2010 05:34

had a play with dad's iPad; looks beautiful, and I'm impressed by how easy it is to read; will almost definitely be picking one up next year

16October2010 08:08

wandered the halls of castle towers before dinner; I'm a little nervous about the prospect of calling the hills home again, however briefly

16October2010 04:47

enjoyed The Town; predictable story, but well told; very impressed with affleck: writing, acting and directing

16October2010 01:59

"so hot we'll melt your popsicle"; they're playing katy perry in the cinema; it's so bad I just have to respect her; it's ironic right?

15October2010 22:36

(FB)RT my sister: "Dear Google, let me finish typing my search before you start flashing results at me" -> i'd wondered if that was annoying

13October2010 11:09

amazing performances by @sydsymph tonight, loved the solo violinist and the conductor — all very energetic

13October2010 11:07

stravinsky's rite of spring terribly frantic, but remarkably cogent, and the discordance all at the service of the narrative

13October2010 10:07

overhearing simply red during tonight's @sydsymph interlude is awfully incongruous; I prefer the much older music inside the concert hall

13October2010 08:16

counter-intuitive but so true RT @zephoria QOTD: "Facebook is like shouting in a crowd; Twitter is like talking in a room with friends."

13October2010 01:37

approached on linkedin with an offer for a boring sounding job and an instruction to "call me ASAP"; you're not really selling it!

11October2010 22:23

new windows phone ad is almost great, but by the punchline i'd taken completely the wrong msg http://youtu.be/EHlN21ebeak /via @johnaugust
