I've slacked on keeping up with Human Target, but the news of Grace Park guest starring (along with a bunch of others) is pretty awesome. #
I'm kinda disappointed that the Hootsuite iPhone app is so crashy. Good thing it's on sale, I guess? #
RT @SodapopJournal: Getting LOST: "Dr. Linus" – http://ow.ly/1gKrG – Flying solo this week but it's all good because Ben finally dies! #
Pink Floyd sues EMI for allowing sales of individual songs. Sounds like antiquated thinking but for that band I might have to agree. #
