- Today's ride: cold, dark, wet. Felt like I was riding through Ridley Scott's version of Vancouver. Now, to avoid the replicants. #
- Harper says the long gun registry treats gun owners like criminals. Hum. I have a driver's license, a marriage license. I feel so badass. #
- Bruce Carson, convicted criminal was PM's trusted advisor while Helena Guergis, exonerated MP, was kicked out of caucus. Huh? #wtf #cdnpoli #
- This fucker went the wrong way thru a roundabout, stopped w me on his bumper and proceeded to fucking PUSH me w van! http://campl.us/PlL #
- He then had the balls to complain about me yelling, swearing and pounding on his van. Jeez, do you think!? What the fuck is wrong with ppl? #
- .@findchico VPD only responds to these incidents if there's an additional witness. One did stop but drove off when apparent I was OK #
- .@juicybath No he knew. We had a discussion after that slowly became civil. He admitted fault, was contrite. Doesn't change facts. #
- Don't be an asshat. I blogged about being hit by a driver who went the wrong way through a traffic circle: http://bit.ly/gCBtu3 #bike #yvr #

- An all-candidates interview with the Vancouver-Centre candidates is coming up on CBC Radio 1 (@CBCEarlyEdition) just after the 7am news #
- Epic discussion of state of traffic control devices + how cyclists & motorists deal with them w/ the 3 bike commuters in the office this AM. #
- We've got some concrete opinions about what's wrong & how to fix it. What are chances CoV Traffic Engineering would listen? Ha, thought so. #
- Thanks to everyone who @'d and/or RT'd my run-in with the van last night and this morning. I appreciate the support. Twitter rocks. #
- .@thepeak Playing @danmanganmusic's Robots. My 6 yr old sings this song to himself often enough that I now associate the song with him. #
- Argh. Just found out that we're expecting a 600 lb box this afternoon. Last time this involved crowbars and a circular saw. #
- Dear ${GRADSTUDENT}. I might take your request for an academic license a bit more seriously if you weren't sending me email with Hotmail. #
- Awesome April birthday week! Today? @tjrossignol Tomorrow? @CityofVancouver Thursday? @LeftCoastMama Friday? @IanAMartin. Whoa! #
- Of course, the better birthday week is *next* week … #ARTW #
- Really? "Tough on Human Smuggling" is one of the #CPC campaign cornerstones? Really? That's a top-3 issue in Canada? #OutOfTouch #cdnpoli #
- I see why they keep running attack ads. They don't really have a platform to promote, do they? #cpc #cdnpoli #wtf #
- #CPC John Reynolds on @CBCEarlyEdition dismisses the FB-checking expulsion as "one of those things that happens during campaigns" #cdnelxn #
- You know, it seems that the only thing the #CPC takes seriously is playing politics. They dismiss so many concerns of "the people" #
- Oops, wrong John. John Cummings. #cdnpoli #
- Ack, right the first time. John Reynolds. Not Cummings. I'm going back to bed. #cdnpoli #
- A cold one. http://campl.us/QcZ #
- Had great fun with some dry ice I brought home from work. The boys LOVED doing "experiments" with it; pure wonder + excitement. #
- Of course, after an hour and a half Quinlan said "No more science, bed!" :p I love being able to show my kids cool SCIENCE! stuff. #
- It's @LeftCoastMama's birthday today! Happy Birthday Gwen! #
- On a somewhat related note, we now have a Crumpler bag in the house. I'm on the lookout for Keds, skinny jeans, and fixies. #hipsternation #
- Days where both my kids sleep in freak me out. I guess we did too much science last night. #
- This is 10m from the boys' room. 8 am, they're still asleep and this has been going for 1/2 hr! http://instagr.am/p/C6oOq/ #
- Got our 2011 batch of Team LCF #geocaching buttons yesterday from @sixcentpress. They look awesome and came /fast/. W00t! #buylocal #
- Sigh. RT @findchico: Yah, probly not a great camo idea for a geocache: http://twitpic.com/4i0jr4 #
- Based on input from thousands of Canadians, @leadnowca has issued its Declaration for Change http://bit.ly/eZeunP #cdnpoli #elxn41 #
- And although @leadnowca indicates that it's non-partisan, it's interesting to see how leftist the DoC ended up being. #elxn41 #cdnpoli #

- Pinot Noir! #marcmad cc: @Blackcloudwine #

- How did we go fr $300M deficit in '14/15 2 weeks ago to a $4B surplus in '14/15 today? Does anyone trust the Cons' budget numbers? #cdnpoli #
- .@davemacdonald Finally had a chance to listen to the Shera Kelly CD. Awesome! It'll go on heavy rotation at home, I'm sure. Thanks! #
- The only logical conclusion about the Cons' new-found money for deficit cutting was they were lying two weeks ago, or lying now. #cdnpoli #
- Cool tweeps with birthdays today: @boardchic and @IanAMartin. The number of April birthdays in my stream is crazy! #
- Good thing kids are (mostly) rubber because it's going down the steepest, windiest trail that they'll forget to put their feet on the pedals #

- VanCtr #CPC candidate Jennifer Clarke came door knocking today. Took reject'n better than Lorne Mayencourt did last time viz @LeftCoastMama #
- Funny, though. The #CPC candidates come door knocking. We never seen any of the other parties' candidates for some reason. #cdnpoli #vanctr #
- Q went to bed quickly. Wasn't put off my his mother's absence, but sure didn't like the fact his brother wasn't here. #
- It's nice that the two boys are so close. Wonder how long *that* will last. #
- Just booked tickets to @pennjillette & @MrTeller's show in Vegas on our summer road trip. Front-row, seats 1,2,3. Yikes! But, exciting! #
- Apple's "Find My iPhone" app is great. I just wish it had a vocabulary that included "living room", "bedroom", "pocket", etc. #
- The truck in the Superstore parking lot with the radio turned up and 2 screaming kids in it? That's us. Sorry. #dayslikethese #
- Dear @twitter: Are any of the accounts that end in a number legit? So tired of the ${NAME}${NUMBER} spammers. So tired. #
- Ok, ok. Not *all* NAME+NUMBER accounts are spam. @lazarus7 @Nicole013 @5and1 @bluefinch604. But you're in the minority. #BlockAndReportSpam #
