  • Updated our geocaching stats page. There was a woeful lack of #geocaching for 141 days before and after Q’s birth! :o http://is.gd/wn0n #gc #
  • http://twitpic.com/4hrk9 – Out #geocaching for a 2nd day in a row! 2TF on this BCGA Blitz 09 cache #
  • Today my parents reached 500 #geocaches found! Dogs, tricks, etc. So wrong. :D Congrats @eastcoastgrandma and @eastcoastgranpa #gc #
  • Watching the #bcdebate. Just touched on universities + accessibility. No one touched on 1000s of students in uni that shouldn’t be. #
  • I *strongly* believe that there should be *fewer* people in university, more in trade/tech colleges. Not everyone should go to university. #
  • I don’t understand how the BCNDP plans to pay for all the stuff they are promising in this contracting economy w/o bankrupting the province. #
  • Here’s a radical thought: Free tech/trade/arts college tuition, w/ fast track options to unis for those students. Raise uni enntrance req’s. #
  • But uni entrance should be based on more than grades. Increase funding to unis, but reduce student bounties. #
  • Making chocolate chocolate chip cookies w/ recipe rec’d by father. Essentially: make chocolate icing. Add flour + chipits. Bake. #
  • Makes 3 doz? I only got 21 … #
  • http://twitpic.com/4j21x – Double chocolate chip cookies. Don't even think abt calories! #
  • Final double chocolate chip cookie verdict: 2 ppl, 5 cookies, 1 L of milk. Urp. #

  • Topo Canada 4 loaded on the Oregon, getting set to drive to Abbotsford for the WWFM V event and do some #geocaching up the valley! #gc #
  • On the road to Abbotsford and the #WWFM V #
  • #WWFM V done in Abbotsford, picked up 3 caches in same park! #gc #
  • Busy day. #WWFM and we picked up 9 other caches. 10 smilies on the day with a 4 yr old and 5 month old. Not a bad haul, but exhausted! #gc #
  • The Oregon and GSAK make logging caches sooooo easy! Now, to watch the #Canucks game. #gc #
  • Just saw anti-#STV ad. The argument is “too complicated” (seriously?) and “never know where your vote goes”. Doesn’t note wasted votes now. #
  • And now, a pro-#STV ad. Better production values, less “scary” message. Funny, is there an election coming up or just a referendum? #
  • Wow. Louie just *robbed* the ‘hawks. That’s gotta be demoralizing! #canucks #

  • LOTR fan? Have you heard of the fan film “The Hunt for Gollum” about to be released on Sunday? Check out the trailer: http://is.gd/ulng #
  • Wow, some pretty scary (and yet, awesome) pics from the fire in Halifax http://twitpic.com/4bzi8 #HalifaxFire #
  • W.T.F. Purolator delivered the package to a their retail store rather than try to get it to me. #fail #
  • RT @StacieBee: OMG, today is No Pants Day! http://tinyurl.com/adcet This, combined with @krisjoseph’s #ToplessTwitterDay will be interesting #
  • Oh look! It’s the First of May http://is.gd/gaLk (song lyrics NSFW) #
  • It seems a good portion of the Tweeps I follow are here in Vancouver at the LPC convention. I’m impressed they’re conscious at 10am. #van09 #
  • Krist Novoselic (former bassist w/ Nirvana) was just on On The Coast, promoting BC-STV. A *very* compelling and well spoken guy! #
  • RT @theseboots Just in time for Mother’s Day: win a trip for two on the Whistler Mountaineer http://ow.ly/4LKj (RT for xtra chance 2 win #

  • US gov’t giving Chrysler $9B, CDN gov’t giving them $3B. Why? I don’t want to be a shareholder in a failed company. #
  • Seething at apparent incompetence. How can not one but two people be so careless. Wasting much of my time on what should be a trivial matter #
  • I’m even less happy about bailing out Chrysler after reading @davidakin’s post: http://tinyurl.com/ch7l59 #
  • RT @VanCanucks: Party on the Plaza at GM Place tonight at 4pm! Come down for free smokies … [erm, in Vancouver this has many meanings] #
  • Hey, Halifax Tweeps … how come no one’s mentioned the big forest fire by York Redoubt? Esp w/ 10 houses burned down!?! #
  • Weird. Who’d want to DDOS a little aerospace engineering company? #
  • Wow, big fire just outside of Halifax, amazing webcam pic: http://bit.ly/mYILc #halifaxfire (via @AlexMaine) #
  • Frickin #Puralator says they tried to deliver a package at a time we were both home, and yet clearly they didn’t. Not the first time, either #
