  • RT @kitsilano: Free tickets for Bard on the Beach’s Othello http://tinyurl.com/pwu9fy #
  • Did you ever stop and wonder what the Cons could accomplished if they stopped throwing sh!t and started actually … you know, governing? #
  • Via The Vancouverite, the Macgyver theme mashed up with #starwars http://is.gd/sGsk — 1:12 of awesome. #
  • It’s Rock Band o’clock! #

  • Oh hai 3 am. Not so thrilled to see you. #
  • Caught up on email and #twitter. 3:35 am. Oh God it’s going to be a rough work day. http://ff.im/2St9V #
  • Bike To Work Week continues in Vancouver. Today was a great ride in, dry, not too warm, fewer velocidal drivers. #btww #
  • RT @flightblogger I recommend not clicking on any links you get in FB today. Looks like a worm is going around and I’m not THAT gullible. #
  • RT @moritherapy: always fascinated by the discrepancy between Brian Mulroney’s deep, soothing voice and his, uh, unusual view of the truth #
  • Just hi-5’d by boss. Boy that was weird. #
  • Excel *and* OpenOffice: -(5-1)^2=16. Huh? But 0-(5-1)^2=-16. #wtf #OrderOfOperationsMessedUp #
  • Somehow the 8 yr old cat has it in her head to play with a balloon. This will not end well. #
  • Kids are in bed, wife’s out partying at #VWNO. Clearly, it’s time for #RockBand. #

  • Ah well. Off to bed. I wonder what tomorrow will bring? (Answer: more of the same old same old) #bcelection #bcvotes2009 #
  • In the end, voter turn out was 48%. Still pretty pathetic. I had a totally uninspired #BikeToWorkWeek ride today. #
  • Want to see the space shuttle mating up with the space station? Tune into NASA TV: http://is.gd/3YX #
  • That’s grappling Hubble, not the ISS. #tired #
  • Ah yes, it’s always the glaring error tweets that get retweeted. :( #
  • Hubble/STS-125 rendezvous video will be back online in 5 minutes when they pass back in sight of the tracking stations http://is.gd/3YX #
  • The federal Cons have unleashed a torrent of attack ads. For every attack ad they release, I am 50% less likely to ever vote for them. #
  • I don’t get this #fixreplies thing. I don’t want tweets from ppl I don’t follow in my stream. I’m not following them for a good reason! #
  • RT @AgeOfPersuasion: Need help for upcoming AOP epi. It’s called “Ask Terry” + I’m looking for interesting q’s on advertising and marketing. #
  • Rec’d faxed resume, no cover letter, out of the blue. Has hotmail email adx. I’ve already given it too much consideration. #fail #
  • May 23rd, Abbotsford: Dinner & Wine fundraising event for The Reach featuring @bradinator and @township7’s wines: http://is.gd/zB5l #
  • Anyone know what happened to @ValerieMacLean? Seems she removed her #twitter account … #
  • When is a reply not a reply? Wait, there’s a difference between @ and the reply arrow? http://is.gd/zzEd #fixreplies #wtf #
  • RT @anndouglas: ignatieff.me is the new notaleader.ca Voting rates decline when political parties run attack ads. #attackadssuck #

  • Coming down off of the stolen-from-the-preschooler’s-forgotten-Easter-stash chocolate buzz. Off to bed. Remember to vote tomorrow BC! #
  • Today is election day in BC. Polls are open 8am-8pm. Pick an MLA, and choose whether to change our electoral system with #BC-STV. #bcvotes09 #
  • Performed my civic duty. Have you? #bcvotes09 #
  • In other news, it’s Bike To Work Week! #btww Today the Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition (VACC) had a pavilion set up at Arbutus/8th. Nom nom #
  • RT @colmanjones: Compare deporting Demjanjuk to face WWII war crimes charges w Obama’s plea to “look fwd” and ignore evidence of US torture #
  • Apparently didn’t convince the cbc that #bcvotes09 makes more sense than character-wasting #bcvotes2009. Tweets will be 1.4% less insightful #
  • I mean, sure it’s confusing. We might be tweeting about the *1909* election. :D #
  • If we were all hip, we’d be using #bcelxn anyway. #bcelection #bcvotes2009 #bcvotes09 #
  • RT @vancouverparent And note #bcstv fans:the Liberals of the day won only 2 seats despite getting a third of the votes sez Wiki #bcvotes1909 #
  • Look, a trending topic: #ausbudget09. I wonder which century *they’re* twittering about #
  • The NFB rocks. In discussing the #bcvotes09 (that’s 1909, whippersnappers) I located this: http://www.nfb.ca/film/log_drivers_waltz #
  • CBC reports that once again the #BCSTV ballots won’t be counted until *after* the candidate ballots. Prolly won’t know result until AM. :( #
  • Off to softball and then rush back to settle into election-result coma. #bcvotes09 #
  • Huh, the ride across town didn’t take nearly as long as I expected #
  • Hey tweeps, back from my ball game. What did I miss? #
  • Listening to #cbcradio while watching #cbctv on mute to get the #bcvotes09 results. @LeftCoastMama prefers Stephen Quinn to Ian Hanomansing! #
  • My prediction from last night was BCL by 6 and #bcstv fail. I’m feeling pretty good about that right now #bcvotes #
  • #cbc website currently shows #bcstv > 60% #
  • RT @IdiocracyWatch: Twitsearch is down again! SNAP!!! http://tr.im/lcuV #bcelection [of all the nights to have a #twitterfail!!!] #
  • #bcstv showing >61% right now! #
  • #cbc declares Liberal majority in #bcelection #
  • RT @BCSTV We’re currently trailing but less than 2% of polls have been reported so far. We’ve got a long way to go before the result. #bcstv #
  • No matter what you think about the BCLibs vs the BCNDP, you have to be happy to see that ATTACK ADs failed to win an election #bcelection #
  • #cbc just declared #BCSTV fail. #bcelection #bcvotes2009 #bcvote09 #bcvote #
  • Carole James concession on right now. Will she resign immediately? #bcelection #bcvotes2009 #
  • And Carole James concedes but does not resign. #GraspingAtStraws #bcelection #bcvotes2009 #
  • As long as Carole James remains leader of the #BCNDP, the BC Liberals will continue to win elections. #fail #bcelection #bcvotes2009 #
  • Here comes Gordo #bcelection #bcvotes2009 #
  • RT @Tania94: A province will one day adopt STV and we’ll watch in envy after their first election and wish we did, yet we blew it twice. #
  • RT @kabutar: @Tania94 Quote on CBC website – ‘Another province should try it first’ Cue HEADDESK. We’ll NEVER get anywhere like this #stv #
  • In the end nothing changes in BC. A few seats shifted here and there. Electoral reform is dead for a generation. #bcvotes2009 #bcelection #
  • Many ppl across Canada were looking to BC to provide leadership on electoral reform. @anndouglas @krisjoseph and others: BC has let us down. #
  • Voter turnout was 42% . Absolutely shameful. #bcelection #bcvotes2009 #
  • The political system is broken in our province and our country. 6 in 10 people don’t vote? 6 in 10 should STFU when they don’t like gov’t #
  • How do we change the general population’s attitude about elections? How can we motivate? How can so many people take democracy for granted? #
  • In Australia, you are bound by law to vote. Should BC and Canada adopt something similar? Should we use the big stick on the ignoratti? #
  • Do people take their government for granted? Do they just figure that their government doesn’t affect their lives? Why so much apathy? #
  • Is it the politicians? If we had a leader like Obama, would it motivate more people? Do we need rockstar politicians? #
  • Does it matter? People interested in politics get informed and vote. Those who don’t, don’t. Do the informed make the best decision? #
