Twitter Weekly Updates for 2009-08-17
- Holy spam flood Batman! Apparently my email addx is making the rounds today. Frickin’ spammers. #
- Huh, that’s a lot of rain. Time to put the outrigger on my bike… #
- No rain gear, helmet, or lights, wearing dark clothes, driving wrong way thru a roundabout. I’m shocked u know which way to move the pedals! #
- Hey, I’ll be in Halifax at the same time as the @AC_Cyclebetes ride there, and I’ve already signed up for the Vancouver ride! Hmmm… #
- Where’s the best place to get a Gorillapod in Vancouver? #
- Will @WINDMobile live up to the promise of bringing sanity to Canada’s mobile market? (via @trevoro) #
- VanCity backs down on rewriting the line of credit agreements: http://bit.ly/35FWav #
- Burnaby RCMP have shutdown part of Metrotown to blow up a suspected pipe bomb. Doesn’t seem like a geocache at least! #
- Don’t work with children or animals. Especially shelter dogs. (Note ad-supported video) http://tinyurl.com/mo4wgr (via @kirklapointe) #
- Heh, Twitter is reporting I have 243 tweets. This week maybe. That’s about 7k short. Must be database issues. Again. #
- The Perseid meteor shower peaks tonight! Best viewing times are 9-11 pm (local time). It has cleared up here, we might get to see some! #
- Shocked at the reaction of various Americans to the idea of public health care. Brainwashing runs deep in many places there. #
- Meteors? I can count the number of *stars* that are visible with both hands. #BigCityFail #LightPollution #Perseids #
- BOTH boys now hum while eating. Breakfast time is not very peaceful. Or in tune. #
- Can you imagine the uproar if something as progressive as this were introduced in Vangroovy? http://is.gd/2e8VJ (via @granvillemag) #bikes #
- Shooting at 20th/Oak in Vancouver. A little too close for comfort. We were by there 2 hrs ago + just a few blocks from home! #
- RT @LeftCoastMama: please vote for BC Children’s Hospital Foundation @BCCHF for #YVRTwestival’s local charity. http://bit.ly/KO9QD #
- Good news: The rain didn’t start until the last 3km of my ride. Bad news: Wasn’t wearing rain gear. Kicker: It *poured* #
- Space is big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. http://is.gd/2fzUH (video) (mindblowing) (via @stv) #
- Two days until we ride the Trans-Canadian Super-Continental Streamline Special Exp.. erm, 737 … to Halifax. #
- Our family had 3 DQ Blizzards for supper tonight, in support of children’s hospitals. And because we’re all intimidated by @redneckmommy. #
- Eoin Colfer is writing the sixth book in the increasingly inaccurately named Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Trilogy http://bit.ly/12LPRy ! #
- Purolator’s “Real-time” tracking? Left TO Tuesday evening. No update since. That’s a REALLY slow airplane. #
- I noted to @LeftCoastMama that Q was getting upset at loud noises now. Wait … we’ll be riding *in* a loud noise for 8 hrs tomorrow :o Crap #
- Oh look, it’s 10 pm. So I guess we should pack something for this trip. Radio silence until tomorrow night when we’ll be xmiting from Hfx! #
- In Halifax after uneventful transcontinental flights. Thanks @westjet for being awesome! #
- Clock on the computer says 2:30 AM; on the wall: 6:30 AM. The sun is up, so Aidan is up. So I’m up. Jet lag? What jet lag? #
