Twitter Weekly Updates for 2009-07-20
- Had to fight the 1000s of cyclists xing the newly-claimed Burrard St bridge while riding into UBC today. I kid, I kid… #BurrardBikeLanes #
- The true test of the #BurrardBikeLanes will be the afternoon rush. Hopefully the typical light summer flow won’t cause any troubles. #
- RT @GPSFix GSAK Garmin Ore/ Colo export macro adds support for geocache sub-icons, fixes earthcache icon issue + more http://tiny.cc/aiglQ #
- Uh-oh. At work with summer man-cold … and just used the last Kleenex. Crap. #
- Huge power outage in Vancouver right now, mostly in Fairview… #
- Not on BC Hydro website, but #vancouverblackout seems to encompass King Ed to seawall, Cambie to Burrard #
- BC Hydro has map showing 30000 customers w/o power, Fairview, Kits, Shaughnessy http://is.gd/1xwLt #vancouverblackout #
- And just like that, Fairview has power. I guess the #bikepolypse isn’t here yet. #vancouverblackout #

- My wife just totally went out and busted the asses of the guys smoking up outside our (and Q’s) bedroom #
- RT @CrunchyCarpets: water broke at midnite…..wish us luck! [Awesome! About time! Good luck and be well!] #
- RT @johnbiehler I can almost understand why they still use IE6…but it’s time to upgrade when you have staff [younger] than your browser #
- RT @sret: Great Tweets of Science: hilarious! http://is.gd/1yLgD (via @phdcomics). [ROTFL. Well, not literally, but you get the idea] #
- ! @CrunchyCarpets @Arcane_Bimmer Congratulations on the new arrival! That’s a big little girl! in reply to CrunchyCarpets #
- Good god, no wonder it’s so hard to be progressive in this city. Compensation for businesses near the Burrard St bridge? Grow up! #
- Just watched @pennjillette + @mrteller’s Bullsh!t on video game violence. I hate it when anyone makes kids cry. It was a predictable result. #
- In other news, the cat just emerged from behind the fireplace screen. Sneezing. Good thing 1) she’s black and 2) there was no fire. #DumbCat #
- RT @earnestgirl: Piglets4Peace – hey Bill Nye @thescienceguy is on Twitter! #

- RT @WestJet: In true WestJet fashion, here’s our take http://kl.am/1qEK [This is awesome, I’m surprised other airlines haven’t done this] #
- Hey @tweetdeck, I’ve noticed that when I post something, Tweetdeck will often overlook some incoming Tweets that came at the same time! #
- Well, goll-ee, they might just get the Space Shuttle lanuched today! Watch it live on NASA TV: http://is.gd/1A8ZJ #

- Un-freaking-believable! Remember my bitching about Rogers? Got my unadjusted bill today with overdue charge. Rogers just lost a customer. #
- I mean, call me a liar and make me promises you don’t keep? Doesn’t sound like you value me as a customer, #rogers #
- Related: iPhone envy has evapourated. No way I’d give that much money to Rogers. #RogersDoesntCare #
- Watching Fraggle Rock with my boys. I suspect I might be enjoying it more than them, tho… @zipca rocks! #
- Nah, I take it back, they’re both completely captivated by the Fraggles. #RIPJimHenson #
- RT @WestJet: We took the video down. Hey, we’ve snapped the odd guitar string ourselves so it didn’t seem fair to poke fun. [Boo!] #

- Heading off to meet @cognoscento to arrange plans to take over the world. You’ve been warned. #
- Translink defeated my plan to get from UBC to downtown on time – broken bus! #
- Finished planting seeds of the hidden city into the brain of @cognoscento. Surely world domination follows! #
- RT @BreakingNews: An unknown person fired three shots from an air gun at the Tour de France, injuring three riders [Tusken Raiders?] #
- Wait, maybe it was Tuscany, not Tusken, Raiders shooting riders at Le Tour #tdf #
- I’m using TwitDiff to watch my quitters. What about you? http://bit.ly/19sm5F #
- Does anyone have any comments on using Vonage in Vancouver? Thumbs up? Thumbs down? #

- We seem to be following @gearhedd1 and @grafinator all over the Nicola Valley! #
- http://twitpic.com/ati6p – Geocaching in Merritt #
- who knew getting acconodation in Cace Creek was going to be such a problem. Too bad we weren’t sure where we’d end up. #
- Ended the day at 10 Gold Country caches. Pretty good with 2 tots. No prob for 14 tmrrw! #
- The fact that it’s satellite radio does not lessen the hick factor one itoa. Yes, *you* blaring country music out of your truck at a motel. #
- No where near Kelowna but after tromping in the woods today and seeing all the Mountain Pine Beetle trees, I’m surprised more isn’t burning! #
- O.M.G. It’s 10:45 and the 4 yr old is *still* awake. Vacations are fun. #screwed #
- Finished logging caches from today. Friendly hicks shut off the tunes at 10pm, and party people behind us shut down 15 min ago. Time for zzz #
- Day 2 of caching in Gold Country begins! #
- Started the day off right: grabbed a cache right by restaurant. 13 to go! #
