Prometheus Promotion... Say hello to Weyland...

Marvel Avengers Assemble!!! [UPDATE]

I've now seen this movie and haven't stopped thinking about it! Best superhero movie ever and that's saying something (I love superhero movies and grew up on Christopher Reeve's Superman; I've seen the X-Men, Iron Man and Spiderman movies a lot). Wow, it has everything and more! Get your head around the baddies from another planet thing and it's a totally immersive experience that gives all characters the screen time they're worthy of. I loved it.

MWC 2012: HTC One X

Hmm, could this phone actually keep me away from iPhone? I'll hold out for iPhone 5 and see what Cupertino brew up next. The One X beats iPhone 4S very easily...

Education Matters

Daniel PinkA little snippet from Dan Pink at The Pink Blog that I think is relevant to the UK as well as the US:

"The trouble is that much of [government's] education....seems designed more for the convenience of adults than for the education of children. If we reckon with that unpleasant truth and have an honest conversation that places our kids at the center of our efforts, we can make a lot of progress."

I particularly like the last point. Let's put learners at the centre of Education.

1 Hour of Hits...

I'm not referring to the Musings of Timo radio show (there isn't one!) but actually to something that happened between 19:00 and 20:00 on the 15th Feb 2012.

Bear Grylls (@BearGrylls) retweeted one of my tweets on twitter.


That in itself was a pretty awesome feeling! But, what happened next was even better. In the hour that followed, over 1000 people clicked on the link and viewed my blog! This is the post: http://themusingsoftimo.blogspot.com/2011/12/bear-grylls-motto.html

The AMAZING Spiderman



Hmm, I might actually be excited about this now... I couldn't believe there was going to be a reboot and wasn't sure how Raimi's films could be bettered. This looks pretty, well, amazing!
