If you're a fan of Game of Thrones you won't want to miss this

A short interview today in the Jersey Journal with Bayonne native and author of "A Song of Ice and Fire" which became HBO's Game of Thrones. Martin previews a lengthy interview he did with Rolling Stone magazine about sitting in Bayonne and imagining far off lands while seeing the night lights of Kill Van Kull. You can find the interview here.

An app for Twitter wants more power over Johnny's info than the NSA and PRISM have

Incredible. All Johnny wanted to do was post a tweet in a contest for HBOGo mentioning his favorite Game of Thrones moment (Tyrion commanding the King's Landing forces in the Battle of the Blackwater while being dressed down by The Hound) and to enter one MUST allow a HootSuite app, a URL shortener called Ow.ly to speak for you. Yes, it's Orwellian in its permission level. The NSA or FBI can't do this. Just look at the permission settings they allow themselves:


Balls the size of Alpha Centauri. Who DO you think you people are? Ow.ly can update Johnny's profile? You can posts tweets FOR Johnny on his behalf? In the words of Eric Cartman to Mr. Garrison "Suck.....my....balls."

Good citizens please tell Johnny you're not signing on for things like this. This is disgraceful. A good reason to not use HootSuite.
