  • Got it covered. RT @Blackcloudwine: Pro-Tip: Every earthquake/disaster survival kit should include one (1) bottle of wine per adult #safety #
  • Aidan has discovered Animal Crossing on his DS. I suspect that this is the beginning of the end. #
  • On the one hand, it's a video game and that's bad, right? On the other hand, he's been reading through the RPG narrative for a few hours now #
  • And he's 5. And hasn't asked what any of the words mean. And he's understanding it all. I'm ok with this. #AnimalCrossing #
  • Finally upgraded the blogs to WP3 and MySQL5. 1and1 sure didn't make that easy. phpmyadmin kept timing out, had to do it by hand! :<( #
  • Like salmon in the sky http://instagr.am/p/BVNQ3/ #
  • According to the Vancouver Police Dept, 5200 distracted driving tix were issued in 2010. That's less than 14% of BC total. #
  • I guess the feeling that traffic enforcement in Vancouver is largely absent is borne pretty clearly by the numbers. #

  • I just can't think of it. Maybe I should spend some time on teh Google to find out. #CompletelyDerailedNow #
  • Added another OS to those on my workstation. This one has a spinning beachball. Spinning, spinning, spinning. #
  • Phone it in? Perhaps @cbcfoxman could Skype it in? #otc #weheardthat @CBCStephenQuinn #
  • Via @stv: RT @secretsquirrel: I came here to kick ass and assign IPv4 addresses.

    And I'm all out of IPv4 addresses. #

  • Looks like all the North American Lonely Planet Guide apps are free today (usually $6). Grab 'em while they're hot! #

  • The best way to keep peace in the Middle East always seems to be to clean up the piles of rocks that seem to be conveniently lying around. #

  • A-ha! Previous link tweeted by the incomparable @LimelitePR. You should follow her. Even if it's not Friday. #
  • Call it flip-flopping, call it fair-weather politicking, but I don't mind when politicians change their minds. #christyclark #bcpoli #
  • I mean, why stick with a bad position? If you can learn or be shown that you're wrong, and admit it, isn't that a *good* thing? #

  • Time for some parental behaviour adjustment. Turns out A has a hearing problem and isn't just ignoring us. Yay? #
  • Great. The CRTC chair is making internet policy based on figures from 2009, and clearly doesn't understand the tech. #UBB #Dinosaur #
  • Someone remind me, please, what useful purpose the CRTC serves today? It seems to be constantly undermined/overruled lately @TonyClement_MP #
  • Good thing StatsCan will have extra time due to loss of the mandatory long-form census. It can get the CRTC some up-to-date internet figures #
  • RT @aprilmains: “@mgeist: Q. Why IPTV exempt from caps? CRTC: Because IPTV is not an Internet service.” huh? #ubb #
  • RT @seanmhair: Has it occurred to the committee & KvF that many of us are watching this hearing streaming online? #irony #CRTC #UBB #

  • "RED" was, in our estimation, more entertaining than The Social Network. And Iron Man 2 for that matter. #MostMoviesSuckNow #
  • Wonderful. Another overnight shooting on Oak St. Seriously? It's such a boring street. The appeal must be that it's an easy getaway route. #

  • "I'm sorry but he's harmless" says the ignorant dog owner whose 40 lb bundle of harmlessness just charged my 2 yr old at a playground. #
  • I really hate many dog owners in this city. #
  • RT @peterlouwe: @AnthonyFloyd I reported on many dog attacks. Last words the owner says prior to bite are "don't worry, he's harmless." #

  • Crap. Dumped half a glass of _milk_ on the laptop. #
  • Gratifying I suppose, but heading the list of "Similar to @AnthonyFloyd" is @LeftCoastMama. The other entries are also somewhat unsurprising #
  • That was an … unpleasant … end to our Sunday coffee ritual. Turns out Q isn't feeling that well. Sorry about that @stv!! #
  • Unsurprisingly BEP isn't playing anything from their most recent album. #PileOfSteamingManure #halftime #
  • I dunno what you guys are complaining about. They sang popular songs, live, and put on a spectacle. What more did you expect? #bep #halftime #
