• This is a *bit* early to be at the office. >yawn< #
  • Yay! @brianmckeever (he of the denied-to-ski-in-both-the-Olympics-and-Paralympics fame) won GOLD today in the 20km xc Paralympic event! #
  • I must admit to being somewhat amused and confused by my Fraser-Valley-targetting followers. #GreetsFromVancouverCentre #
  • Hopped up on Pepsi and chocolate. I might make it through the afternoon now before crashing in a huge ball of flames… #
  • Upside to being at the office at 5:30 this morning? I get to pick A up from preschool in the pm #
  • Got our boffo #GeowoodstockVIII tags today, thanks to @coreynjoey. They look great! We'll leave a few unactivated ones in local caches soon #
  • RT @karlwoll: [A Canadian] army helicopter lands on Black Tusk [mountain, in BC]! How sweet is this!? http://tinyurl.com/ya4dzr2 #
  • http://twitpic.com/18z0ql – Must be field trip day at the sledge hockey venue! #para2010 #
  • (that last tweet was the bus parking lot for the Thunderbird Arena sledge hockey venue for the Paralympics) #
  • So Canadians can now order a Google Nexus One, but only the version that works with Rogers, not the one that works with @WindMobile. WTF? #
  • Oops. Wrong. Ambiguous order page made me think that the @WindMobile compatible phone was only sold bundled. Nevermind past few tweets :) #
  • I had to read the NYT "mommy-blogging" article again http://nyti.ms/clmFfH I don't get the fuss. Really. Over-sensitive much? #
  • I mean, it seems sometimes that (some) social media folk are awfully quick to beat the war-drum. Who is the bad-guy-du-jour? #
  • If I were *really* insensitive, I might call it a "tempest in a sippy cup" but that would be going too far. :D #
  • RT @limelitePR: @AnthonyFloyd because women in business stories rarely make the business section unless they've made a million bucks #
  • OK @lindsaydianne @alexishinde @crunchycarpets @limelitePR @miss_scarlet99 fun discussion, but I've got to get back to work. :) #
  • RT @bobmackin: CTV to air closing ceremony of 2010 Paralympics from Whistler on Sunday, live at 7 p.m. PT/10 p.m. ET. #
  • Does anyone want a ticket for Paralympic Alpine Skiing at Whistler on Saturday (11:30 to 15:30)? We have an extra one. #
  • Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig oraibh! #
  • Rather improbably I passed another cyclist commuting to Pt Grey on my way in this morn. At 5:45am. It was a nice stress-free ride! #NoCars #
  • I must admit that Google Translate is becoming quite a useful service as our small company does more business in non-English countries #
  • Amazingly, gone are the days of garbled translations. (mostly) #
  • Excerpt from disclaimer on bottom of an email just rec'd: "You may not read, copy, distribute, or use this information." Uh … thanks? #
  • http://twitpic.com/19679w – This is the full disclaimer. Email disclaimers are stupid at best, but … huh? #
  • RT @nep: Comic: The Difference Between Firefox, Opera, Explorer & Safari http://bit.ly/8XcaSB #
  • Part of what bothers me about the NYT mb fuss is this: If you bluster so much about an apparently minor thing you risk cry-wolf syndrome. #
  • RT @mrlady: An unpopular reaction to the NYT piece: http://bit.ly/bFey8M (via @countryfried) [Proving this ISN'T an XY vs XX thing] #
  • Pretty windy down in the city and yet Grouse Mtn's "Eye of the Wind" isn't turning. Anyone know why? Still not functional? #
  • Since Twitter seems Tango-Uniform, off to deal with the train wreck that is my Google Reader. #
  • RT @gpstracklog: DeLorme PN-40 for $219.99 http://bit.ly/aR6Od7 [Great deal, good for geocaching! Too bad it only ships within US] #
  • There are some days when the number of idiots on the road seems to outnumber the rest. It's like a cascade effect somehow. #
  • And then I think, "Well if it seems like everyone else is an idiot, chances are it's me, not them." #
  • But I fail to see how stopping on a bike rte under a "no stopping anytime" sign, driving on wrong side of road, or blowing stop is my fault. #
  • In other news, I can't believe that Wente column. Seriously? I wish I had a G&M subscription to cancel :eyeroll: http://bit.ly/duFV9L #
  • .@bgrier No, sadly she sounds like another member of "Old Media" who Just Doesn't Get It. Dinosaurs, I believe they're called. #
  • Apparently the G&M felt the need to one-up the NYT in disparaging women bloggers. Is this the asteroid that will kill Old Media dinosaurs? #
  • Whose laptop are we watching the #smcyvr ustream from? #
  • Don't think I agree with @kirklapointe's citizen dentist analogy, too apples vs oranges, too simplistic an analogy #smcyvr #
  • Surprised how many people at #smcyvr are new to SM. Impressed by the initiative they're showing by attending! #
  • RT @anndouglas: You know it's all fun, all the time, when you follow me #
  • Wow! @News1130radio is reporting that the Paralympic tie-breaker tomorrow btw Italy and Sweden (2:30pm) will have free admission! #
  • And now, to bed. Admittedly, it's to listen to @neilhimself read Neverwhere to me (one of the best audiobooks, ever) but … g'night! #
  • Still have that single ticket for tomorrow's Alpine events at Whistler. Any takers? It'd be a shame for it to go to waste. #para2010 #
  • RT @bobmackin: Too sunny to enjoy free Paralympic wheelchair curling? Attendance for Italy vs. Sweden: 800. [Sad. Admission was FREE!] #
  • Heading to the Windjammer Inn for fish & chips. Best in Vancouver! #
  • Gwen, trying to wake A to go Whistler: Lights on, AFI playing in the room, loudly. Boy doesn't stir. "I have worries about the future!" #
  • Waiting in a huge line at Tims in Squamish after dealing with #pukeaggemmon #
  • Somehow I think we're going to be late for our event :( #
  • http://twitpic.com/19tk26 – The boys at the super g sitting. #

  • Back from Whistler. Exhausted. Cleaning 10-hr old puke residue from car seat. This is how parents roll. #
  • Wife is telling eldest about mice who made their own lt rail line, with aluminum rails. Haven't the heart to tell her why that's a bad idea. #
  • The aluminum rails, not telling the story. #
  • Finished migrating our geocaching finds from my "Aerodoq" account to our team "LeftCoastFloyds". Thru the magic of Python only took few hrs! #
  • Aidan is serenading us: "The garbage truck, the garbage truck, a de-liv-ery service for the trash" #
  • Of course, it makes more sense when you realize it's sung to the tune of "Bloodmobile" by TMBG #
