- I have a song to sing O! — Coding to G&S this morning. #
- How long will the rest of the world stand by while madness and chaos reigns in Libya, I wonder? *Bombing* protestors!? #
- Just when I think the CBC News comments might be a safe place, the highest rated comment on the Libya story is a "overthrow the US" nut #
- Snow squall at UBC. WTH? http://instagr.am/p/Bw2bv/ #
- With Libya in such chaos, how are all the hip web 2.0 .ly domains holding up? Bit.ly, etc? #
- Sitting at the Truck Crossing border crossing. It's going to be an away day today w/ 600 km of driving. Later tweeps! #
- Well, I-5 never fails to disappoint. Clear at the start, later packed ice, then full-on snow storm, and now clear blue sky. #
- Meeting concluded, time to face I-5 again. #happyhappyjoyjoy #
- Aidan reviews @CarouselTheatre's current production of Bird Brain http://bit.ly/fMaMUT #
- Drove a Yaris around all day today. Other than the fuel economy and the, uh, parkability there wasn't much I liked about it. #
- In case you haven't seen it, The Big Picture powerfully captures the aftermath of the NZ earthquake http://bit.ly/hYPBpD #eqnz #
- Nothing like an unexpected 12" drop in the dark to liven up my ride home. Thought there was a slope, turned out to be a retaining wall. Oops #
- To the students of MTRL465 today … sorry. I neither chose the venue, the subject material, or the length of time. #PinchHitterProfToday #
- RT @novascotiarasta: Incredible image of Christchurch, from the hills, moments after the quake. http://i.imgur.com/0vZbD.jpg #eqnz #
- The Space Shuttle Discovery's final (ever!) launch is scheduled for 1:50 pm PST. Watch it live on NASA TV: http://bit.ly/gx2fIN #
- You can also watch the Discovery launch (1:50pm PST, 4:50pm EST) in HD at http://t.co/7DWvXug #
- (the HD feed links courtesy @ianiv, thanks!) #
- Want to follow the Discovery launch on Twitter? Follow the #sts133 hashtag #
- And while #sts133 has you thinking about space, @BadAstronomer has a great post on how far the Sun and moon really are http://bit.ly/dR6RK9 #
- Bump in the road for #sts133 Currently in a "NOGO" status due to a computer problem. Hasn't affected launch time, yet. (in 20 mins) #
- #sts133 is set to launch in 12 mins, but "SRO" has a "no go" status. They'll count down to 5 mins and check with SRO. #
- "SRO" is the "Superintendent of Range Operations", the guy responsible for monitoring the airspace, splashdown areas, and weather. #sts133 #
- Launch will proceed, right at the edge of the launch window! #sts133 #
- Apparently rather than rely on the computers, they're doing manual monitoring of the airspace/spashdown zones. #sts133 #
- They have *2 seconds* of launch window remaining. Another problem will result in a scrub for today. #sts133 #
- Two minute to launch. Now's the time to hop on the live stream! http://bit.ly/f3eUGW #
- Discovery has cleared the tower! #sts133 #
- Every shuttle launch I watch, my heart stops at the "go at throttle up" command. Every time. #sts133 #
- MECO. Main Engine CutOff. Discovery is in space. And NASA TV did an *amazing* job broadcasting the whole ascent. #sts133 #
- Did you watch the shuttle launch and see some debris falling off? @00mb and @SpaceRef will be reviewing the video and commenting. #sts133 #
- How bad is it in Detroit? They're being forced to close half their schools + increase high school classes to 60 kids http://huff.to/g36DGs #
- So, what was initial media report based on? MT @bobmackin: No bomb threat at Oakridge, sez @VancouverPD. No evacuation/no threat. #yvr #
- Funny how Conservative senator Hugh Segal's description of conservatism doesn't sound much like PMSH's government. #OTC #
- If I wanted to learn about he BC Liberal leadership candidates, all in one place, where would I look? #leadbcl #bcpoli #
- Constable Mandy from @VancouverPD is live tweeting a shift tonight. I love this sort of thing. Great pubic relations effort! #
- TGAM BC politics site, the Vancouver Sun Lib leadership section, both of these are almost useless. There *must* be a "round up" somewhere! #
- I don't want puff pieces and press releases. Where's a good summary of the candidates and their positions? #leadbcl #bcpoli #
- I guess I should have looked there first. The CBC has a good summary of the #leadbcl candidates http://is.gd/haA5AK #bcpoli #
- Kudos to @VancouverPD and #cstmandy for a fun Twitter ride-along last night #
- Today son #1 didn't want to go on school field trip b/c of kid that's been bullying him. In kindergarten. Things like this make me mad. #
- And is so often the case, the school is unwilling/unable to stop the bullying. So, what choices left to my kid? Frustrating. #
- OK, thanks for listening to me vent. Nose to the grindstone time! #
- :headdesk: Is it quitting time yet? #
- Negotiations got up to 1 Smartie + 4 chocolate eggs before toddler emptied his bladder in the toilet. This guy's going to be the next Trump. #
- I'm concerned that the next time we'll be talking money, electronics, and my soul. #NeverNegotiateWithTerroristsOrToddlers #
- Participatory democracy is … $10 and 2 weeks of near-constant telephone/email harassment. But I get to vote for the next premier. #leadbcl #
- The #leadbcl online voting process was simple, straightforward, and easy. I wish this were an option for all elections #bcpoli #cdnpoli #
- I don't think I've ever voted for a winner in an election. We'll see tonight if this continues to hold true. #leadbcl #bcpoli #
- So here's my prediction: If Christy Clark doesn't win on the 1st ballot, Kevin Falcon will on the 3rd. #bcpoli #leadbcl #
- CBC just announced that the #leadbcl vote has gone 3 rounds. Don't know who won yet. Will be Abbott or Falcon, is my prediction. #bcpoli #
- Ballot 1 results: Clark, Falcon, Abbott, de Jong. #bcpoli #leadbcl #
- So, my prediction continues to be that Abbott will finish last on 2nd ballot. Falcon will win on 3rd. #
- So, my prediction continues to be that Abbott will finish last on 2nd ballot. Falcon will win on 3rd. #bcpoli #leadbcl #
- #leadbcl 2nd ballot: Clark, Falcon, Abbott. #
- So, Abbott drops off the ballot. It's either going to be Clark or Falcon. #bcpoli #leadbcl #
- Here we go…. #bcpoli #leadbcl #
- And the next premier of BC is Clark! #bcpoli #leadbcl #
- For what it's worth, my horse didn't win this race either. #bcpoli #leadbcl #
- Now it's up to Christy Clark to show she's more than BC's Sarah Palin. #bcpoli #leadbcl #
- In other news, the BCNDP's reaction is predictable and unoriginal. They continue to be the party of "nuh-uh". #bcpoli #leadbcl #
- RT @CamilleLabchuk: BC has all women leaders now – Christy Clark, Dawn Black, Jane Sterk. Kinda cool. #
- This is what Vancouver woke to this morning. We're screwed. http://instagr.am/p/B5APo/ #
- Tobogganing at Charleson Park @ Charleson Park http://instagr.am/p/B5Jct/ #
- The roads are impassible but we damn well better clear off the seawall #onlyinvanc @ False Creek (neighbourhood) http://instagr.am/p/B5Kf8/ #
- It's challenging science hour over lunch. Aidan has asked both how earthquakes happen, + how sound it formed. Physics degree helping a bit. #
- Why do all these women have their hands glued to their hip? #oscars #
- We put Q to bed. He's spent the past 15 minutes calling for his brother who got to stay up a bit longer. He'll yell until A goes to bed :( #
- Our local geocaching reviewer WizardOfOoze is publishing tonight. That's kinda cruel, given the weather. #
- #CPC attack ad in the middle of the Oscars. Get stuffed, please. #
- Dear CTV: You just ran an ad for the Oscars an hour and a half *after* they ended. Seriously!? #
