  • Is it me or is @mrtweet getting much better with its recommendations? http://mrtweet.com?v=12 #
  • RT @GPSFix: Garmin Dakota 20 vs Ore 300: Smaller, -0.4″, -1.3oz, +4hrs battery, – NMEA, – Wherigo, – photo viewer, + 3 axis compass, -$50 #
  • Amazing how a head wind makes that hill seem 3x bigger… #RideToWork #
  • RT @donttrythis: AT&T is attempting to charge me 11k for a few hours of web surfing in Canada. [Not just Rogers that takes adv of iPhone!] #
  • Remember when we all thought Obama was different? In a disappointing number of ways … he isn’t: http://is.gd/1eWs5 #
  • RT @moneycoach: news of Obama’s executive order in the mix of Farah Fawcett & MJ. Good day to slip out potentially unpopular news. #
  • !@moneycoach and we all thought it was going to be @pmharper who was going to try to hide something in the confusion… #
  • REMINDER: Tonight is Critical Mass and it’s Bike Month. Expect larger-than-normal delays downtown, particularly on the Lion’s Gate Bridge! #
  • Sydney Tar Ponds cleanup announced: $50M to put concrete in and cap it over. Erm, that’s not a “clean-up”, that’s “push-it-under-the-rug”. #
  • In full geek mode tonight. Replaced A/V remotes w/ Harmony Remote, all customized and pimped out. Also got belated Father’s Day Flip UltraHD #

  • For the morning crowd: Great summary of what it’s like to be a bike commuter in Vancouver http://is.gd/1cLst (via @beyondrobson) #
  • Had a very interesting conversation with an evangelical commuting unicyclist this morning. Tried to convert me to The Way of The Unicycle. #
  • RT @gillianshaw: Forget the rumours, there is no doubt Telus will get the iPhone. http://tinyurl.com/nxs649 [what abt DAVE and GlobalLive?] #
  • RT @yoyomama_van: RW Pickton won’t be getting a new trial. Yet. [Were both appeals denied?] #
  • Confused. @cknw says pickton appeal unanimously denied, @kirklapointe says split decision. Not that it makes much difference, but which? #
  • From the sounds of it, the BC Court of Appeal has decided to punt #
  • Listening to Wally Oppal on ‘NW. I still think it’s a loss for BC that he wasn’t re-elected. Related: still can’t stand talk-radio. #
  • RT @ChrisParry Save the effort of seeing Transformers 2 by burning $10, slamming yr head on a desk for 30 min, + shoving sticks into yr ears #
  • RT @JesseBrown: Minister Van Loan thinks IP Address/email address same as phone numbers- Canadians have “no expectation of privacy”. #
  • For the aerospace/composites Tweeps: http://is.gd/1dorF Interesting but technical read. Wld like to comment but can’t. (via @flightblogger) #
  • Various reports of Michael Jackson being in cardiac arrest. Hmmm, MJ & FF in the same day … coincidence? #tasteless #
  • RT @BreakingNews: FLASH — LOS ANGELES — “KING OF POP” MICHAEL JACKSON HAS DIED. #
  • You know, if MJ hasn’t died, this is an EPIC FAILURE of both Twitter and MSM…. #
  • Officially calling the Hollywood #trifecta: McMahon, Fawcett, Jackson. All the rest of you celebs, rest easy. #
  • RT @dryhumoursteve: His bones will given to the relatives of Joseph Carey Merrick (via @raincoaster) #
  • How many news outlets already have MJ obits ready I wonder? #ExpectTheUnexpected #mj #
  • RT @jnarvey: @hummingbird604 I fear that the opposition’s cause is lost, as the rest of the world focuses on mourning a talented creep #

  • Vampire Baby has gone from sleeping through the night to waking up *hourly* now. Teething sucks. Or bites. Or something. Zzzzzzz #
  • RT @penmachine: You can’t trust your eyes: http://is.gd/1ccZo The blue and green are actually the SAME COLOUR. (Via @badastronomer) [wow!] #
  • Apparently after the weather tonight on the news came blah, blah-blah, and blah-blah-blah. At least, according to my lovely wife. #
  • Heading to bed. Anyone want an over/under as to the number of hours of sleep tonight? #
  • Great summary of what it’s like to be a bike commuter in Vancouver: http://is.gd/1cLst (via @beyondrobson) #

  • RT @flightblogger: FLASH: Boeing Postpones 787 First Flight [Wow. Just — wow.] #
  • The wow part of the last tweet was the reported reason that it was postponed — the need “to reinforce part of the plane”. Costly decision! #
  • RT @GPSFix: New blog post: Garmin Oregon Beta 2.99 Available — Not Recommended http://bit.ly/Jqls7 #
  • Of course you know that the former school-teacher and now theatre director @MrTeller tweets, right? Yes, *that* Teller. #
  • WH Press Corps asks abt Obama’s smoking. Brings back West Wing memories: http://bit.ly/KDfp6 (via @cbellantoni) #
  • RT @24hoursvan: Cyclists note: New Burrard bridge bike lanes to open up July 13: http://is.gd/1aKa5 [Commuters take note, chaos expected!] #
  • Vancity council’s Burrard Bridge mods: curbside SB lane for bikes, N sidewalk for bikes only. Starts July 13th. #
  • RT @danudey: @SAlbrecht You’ve got that backwards. Your accomplishment was overwhelming, and we’re the ones who are humbled. [hear, hear] #
  • Thanks to @kimli, I *still* have Journey going through my head. Must find replacement earworm pronto. #
  • Well, crap @twitter! Found another Tweep who you auto-magically unfollowed for me. Why? Why? Why? How many more have I lost unknowingly? #
  • Huh. Passed 6000 updates 23, no, 24 tweets ago. Didn’t think I was that close. Oops. Or, maybe the update counter is as wonky as the others? #
  • Going on 50 minutes with phone call to Rogers. On my 3rd CSR, 2nd tech support. Everyone’s pleasant, but unhelpful. Losing patience. #
  • I love being told that I’m a liar. Thanks #Rogers. Unhappy, building up to pissed. #
  • Seriously considering giving up landline. Concerned about safety implications. Must do research. Dissatisfied w/ alternatives, tho’ #
