- Today, the Canadian dollar is worth more than the American dollar again. It's mostly psychological, but hits our intern'l small company HARD #
- Why? B/c we get paid in USD while all our expenses are C$. It's like we're an NHL hockey team w/o any on-ice skill. Kinda like the Oilers #
- Yawn. Another too g-d early telecon. The saving grace to these is leaving the office at 2pm. #

- Ah, spring time! New flowers! Warm weather! The sound of your cats regurgitating the hair they're shedding… #

- I see the wind has blown all the clouds away! Awesome! We won't be putting on a @geocaching101 event in the rain like we expected. #
- Apparently @wilw is in Vancouver. Hope the wind doesn't blow him back to LA. Maybe we'll get a Vancouver W00tstock? #
- http://twitpic.com/1e473i – A beautiful day to learn about geocaching in beautiful Vancouver #
- Phew, back from a long afternoon in QE park, putting on a @geocaching101 for a local high school. Went extremely well, weather held up! #
- Observation from today's event: The prevalence of iPhones in the general population is much, much lower than amongst Twitter users. #
- The carrot cake is a big hit with the under-6 crowd. With the over-6 crowd, too. #nomnomnom #
- Still lots of space at the Police Museum Geocaching 101 event coming up on April 18th: http://bit.ly/deRQmy Won't you join us? #
- Watching Idol from a few nights ago. WTH? Dude brought in a bagpiper for "Hey Jude"!? #

- Got a new filing cabinet at work. This excites me way more that it should #TypeA But, it means I'll have a usable desk again! #
- Ah Fridays. The day when politicians give up. Or are given up. Today, a 2-fer: #CPC #039;s Helena Guergis and #BCLib Kash Heed! #cdnpoli #
- RT @wilw: When I walked into @scienceworldca I was afraid it was just for kids. Turns out it wasn't; I frakking LOVED it. #
- I wonder how @gregeh is making out riding the mean streets of Vancouver. Is being a bike courier all that … and a bag of chips? #

- RT @granvillemag: City councilor Jang succumbs to peer pressure, rides bike, doesnt die http://ow.ly/1wYOa [hahaha] #
- Sigh. Woman in her 20s was sexually assaulted this morning on our block. #
- In other news, local media is reporting that assault happened at 7th Ave, when their own photos clearly show taped off scene btw 8th/B-way #
- I suppose it's too much to ask your own photographers where they took the photos. Or, to verify with the very hand Google street view. #
