Who to follow on Twitter
Stacks of people have asked me why I ever started to use twitter… and why after so long I still use it even after they gave it a go and let it slide. The answer is pretty simple, I follow…Stop doing shit you don’t love

Go easy…Watching the transit of Venus across the face of the sun puts things into perspective for me a bit. To see the size of a plant (albeit slightly smaller than our own) be dwarfed by the sun, then knowing there are things out there that make the sun look like a spec comparatively, then coming back to thinking about how small your immediate environment is in the grand scheme of things… 100% believe there has to be something else out there, it would be ridiculous to think we’re alone.
