• While parents in Peterboro freak out over Wifi in schools, you can get "Radio Frequency Facelifts" and "Infrared Saunas" in Vancouver. #
  • Heh. "If I see a cougar or mountain lion, I *know* it's in a bad mood and I have a problem" – Interviewee on CBC radio right now. #
  • Helicopters, sirens, collapsing hydro towers. Are we *sure* we didn't have an earthquake? #
  • Offending helo keeping tabs on Fairview/False Creek. WTH? http://campl.us/chcO #
  • OK. True Blood's second episode this season was a bit better than the first. #
  • And the helicopter's back. Must have needed to refuel. I wonder if we're going to be harassed all night long? #
  • John Larroquette is awesome when he plays lawyers. Tonight, it's SVU. But: West Wing, Night Court, etc. #
  • Sounds like tomorrow's going to be a bad day to be in Surrey and Coquitlam. Also, to work for BC Hydro. #TowerCollapses #
  • BC Hydro blaming tower collapse "unexpected erosion" due to high water levels in the river according to Global TV. #
  • Um, was that erosion or corrosion? Regardless, that seems far-fetched. #TowerCollapse #
  • Turns out BC Hydro *knew* about problems with stability of the transmission towers! http://bit.ly/jIOzNY #
  • If the Skytrain problems caused some problems yesterday, it's nothing like the problems commuters are facing today. #commutageddon #
  • Anyone have a favourite offline wordpress.org editor? Will be doing road-trip blogging starting next week, spotty internet coverage. #
  • Programming note: Our family road trip starts next week. Rather than flood this acct with it, I'll be tweeting from @FloydsGoBad #
  • Early morning phone calls from family back east are never good news calls. #
  • Another meeting with US tech sales person. ADmin again. And "onboarding". <shudder> #
  • Thesis: "Twitter chats" are an abuse of your followers. Discuss. #
  • Somewhat revised thesis: "Twitter parties" are an abuse of your followers. #
  • Maybe google+ huddles will take care of them? #
  • For the nighttime crowd: I'll be tweeting from @FloydsGoBad starting next week while we're on vacation. This acct will be mostly silent. #
  • I fully expect my Klout score to plummet. Oh well. #
  • Easiest decision I've made today. #hst http://instagr.am/p/HD_Lb/ #
  • Awesome 360 of the Lynden City Park uber-playground http://360.io/6JjQtj #
  • The worst thing about the HST referendum ballot was licking *3* envelopes. My tongue hates me now. Also? Why can't we do this online yet? #
  • Beautiful ride into work, but it's going to be a hot one today. Summer has arrived in YVR! #
  • From the don't-make-threats-you're-not-willing-to-follow-through-with file: Q is happily in bed now. This portends badly for the morning. #
  • Google+ invites: I haz them. DM me your gmail account address and I'll hook you up. #
  • The Google+ invites seem to be going out at variable speeds. If you've asked for one, I've sent it but … patience may be required. #
  • I'll say this about Google, the hype machine is working for them on this one #
  • One kid in bed insanely early, one kid yet to get to bed. How could this possibly go wrong? #
  • Wow, we crashed Google. I'm utterly locked out of all my Google services: gmail, g+, etc… #
  • … and the firehose is shut off. Sorry folks, no more invites. #google #
  • Bomb squad shuts down Wetherby to find a geocache: http://ow.ly/1uoJV2 Should urban #geocaching be banned? #
  • A Slashdot (remember that?) commenter described geocaching as "like Facebook, but outdoors." :facepalm: #
  • In advance of our upcoming RV trip, I've been rather enjoying reading this blog from other RV'ing newbs http://bit.ly/kZ5sib #
  • People hate on Mondays, but Thursdays run me down the most. Braaaaiiinnnnssss #
  • Google+ invites are open again. If you still want one, DM me a gmail addx! #
  • .@wilw's Law: Don't be a duck #replaceawordinafamousquotewithduck #
  • Good morning Tweeps! Head over to NASA TV http://ow.ly/1uqnMZ to watch the last launch, ever, of a space shuttle. #
  • Today's last shuttle flight #STS135 is scheduled for 8:26 PDT, but you can watch live video prep right now on NASA TV http://t.co/6ItLrU4 #
  • Shuttle Atlantis has been cleared for launch (no weather hold!) Expect liftoff at 8:26 PDT Watch: http://t.co/6ItLrU4 #sts135 #lastshuttle #
  • Last shuttle launch in 1 min! #
  • Main engine cut off (MECO) and external tank separation. Space Shuttle Atlantis is in space! #sts135 #
  • It takes a special type of stupid to ride your bike without a helmet on your head, but hanging on your handlebars. #
  • Thanks to @polarisdotca for hooking us up with a Galileoscope! Now to figure out how to put it together… #
  • Run off the road by driver taking S corner on the wrong side of the road. Yelled. A lot. House owner asked why I was so angry. #bikeyvr #
  • Nearly hit by a car then taken to task for getting "angry". Was I off base? http://t.co/n6uo73N #bikeyvr #
  • "Our" Best of the Bad legacy #geocache has been published 770 kms away! http://t.co/98l6UTm Thanks to @cbgeocaching. Can't wait to find it! #
  • Wow. MT @smuttysteff: Canadian? Politically, journalistically aware? You need to read this! Not? Ditto. http://t.co/By5vfyu #
  • Happy birthday @Scouter_Mike! Although I'm not sure I believe Gert about the 40 thing. So nice of the scouts to throw a big party for you! #
  • Just a reminder: Starting next week, this account will go silent(ish) while we're on vacation. You can follow our road trip @FloydsGoBad #
  • We'll be in Las Vegas in a few weeks for One Night Only. Staying at a hotel, but looking for babysitter for kids. Any suggestions? #
  • After "meeting" so many people through Twitter, seeing real names in G+ confuses me. #firstworldproblems #
  • Grandview Superstore. 4 cashiers open and ours has stalled b/c someone had more stuff than dollars. 10 mins in line and counting. #
  • Google+ reminds me of an RSS reader that allows comments. It aggregates short-form "posts", and has built-in commenting. Right? #
  • And at the moment, poor commenting. No threading. If a "post" has many comments, impossible to wade through them. #googleplus #
  • Do G+ comments need ranking then? Some way to filter comments by number of +1's they've received? Should there be a "-1" too? #googleplus #
  • On tge one hand, Galileo didn't have these instructions. On the other hand, he didn't have *these* instructions, http://instagr.am/p/HYQRk/ #
  • Galileoscope parts http://instagr.am/p/HYRf-/ #
  • Completed Galileoscope. Not as difficult as I thought it might be! http://instagr.am/p/HYb2L/ #
  • Family over for dinner tonight after afternoon of cleaning & trip prep. Beat. 8am conference call tomorrow. Later, gators. #
