Twitter Weekly Updates for 2011-09-12
- Put Q in his room for time out. Think he fell asleep. Time to switch to Plan B for today's activities. #agileparenting #
- Plan B is riding the Central Valley Greenway with Aidan. If you see us, say hi! #bikeyvr #
- Ice cream at New West Quay http://t.co/G60GFUU #
- World's Largest Tin Soldier http://t.co/hwoC0Hj #
- Central Valley Greenway: Conquered. 26 km from Granville Island to New West Quay. A perfect Labour Day bike ride. Now, to get home :) #
- Afternoon at New West Quay http://t.co/mXjgHu6 #
- New West, so quaint. So hilly. #
- Back from epic bike ride with Aidan. 53 km from Granville Island to New West Quay and back. Pooped, dehydrated, happy. #
- Ride wasn't too bad. 3 ppl ran red lights while we were in crosswalks on way there, none on the way back. Another typical day cycling YVR. #
- Love the long rides, less thrilled about the sun stroke. Gotta figure that one out. #
- Nuts, missed it. Never remember to fire up the Munzee app. #
- Seriously @kobo? Every update of the iPhone app requires me to redownload all my books? Very irritating. I just want to read! #
- We have a geocache near the "100" on West 4th Ave near Granville Island. Someone found it recently as their 900th find: http://t.co/vNCcUEO #
- Arrrrrrrr! #backyardigans @PaulAndStorm Thx to random channel surfing, now have two very different earworms in my head #makethemwalktheplank #
- Reading everyone's #firstdayofschool Tweets. A starts Grade 1 today, starts full-day, starts lunch away from home. Hope it goes smoothly. #
- First day of Grade 1! http://t.co/aJCgnLa #
- Vastly entertained by all the "back to school" tweets. Also? A very many of us have kids in Grade 1 this year. #
- Oooh. I *really* like the new Winnipeg Jets jerseys: http://t.co/Qjbtxiw #
- Just turned on #OTC Uh, what the heck is this? "Night People"? Ugh, shudder. @cbcstephenquinn #
- Ah, Human League. Oh man. Back to the 80s, please. Ugh. #OTC @CBCStephenQuinn #
- Rogers: Sure you can play online video games … if you don't exceed 80 kbps. WTH? Is this 1995? H/T @theresalalonde http://t.co/7VpujCB #
- Just clicked on a link to what might have been an interesting story. Spread over 7 pages. TL;DR. That's why mice have scroll wheels, no? #
- Forest burning a couple hundred metres from work. Fortunately wind's blowing the other way + the heli water bomber isn't too distracting. #
- More Quinlan-ish: Pine-cone apple. Use in a sentence: I would like some pine-cone apple in my hot-meal, please. #toddlerish #
- On the one hand, I'm glad that the 3 yr old in Sparwood isn't missing in the woods by himself. On the other hand, he's been abducted… #
- Happiness is Jeff Tweedy (Wilco) covering the Black Eyed Peas: http://t.co/tRK6AMf #
- #AmberAlert 3 y/o Kienan HEBERT. Suspect is Randall HOPLEY, 46 y/o with dark hair, driving 87' Toyota Camry BCLP 098RAL http://t.co/0rBIeTa #
- #AmberAlert 3 y/o Kienan HEBERT. Suspect is Randall HOPLEY, 46 y/o with dark hair, driving 87' Toyota Camry BCLP 098RAL http://t.co/0rBIeTa #
- It's been over 24 hrs since that 3 yr old in Sparwood has been missing. If he's been taken in a car, he could be anywhere in BC, AB. #
- Day 3 of wake-the-kids-to-go-to-school-on-time. It's as fun as I imagined it would be. #
- With all the Sept 11th coverage, ad naseum, I'm going to be avoiding all MSM for the next week. Overload. #
- Heh, awesome #beardcore RT @604Heather: Attention @CBCStephenQuinn MT @wilw: http://t.co/qArCpEZ #
- So, things that you can do in Vancouver and not face any recourse from police: riot, burn police cars, travel in sports cars at 200 kph… #
- Listening to this "new" ATC chatter about the 9/11 events is disturbing. #
- Oh, Grand Fondo, not Grand Fonyo. Completely changes my opinion of the event. #
- A has been at school full time for 2 days now, but it's been Q that we've had to put to bed early both days. Huh? #
- .@telus calls 2x day, every day despite repeated requests to be removed from call list. Anyone have a link to how to deal w/ this abuse? #
- I mean, seriously @telus. Any good will or positive thoughts about your company evaporated many unsolicited calls ago. #
- Earthquake! #
- 6.7 Earthquake just off the coast of Vancouver Island #
- USGS link to 6.7 EQ off off West coast of Vancouver Island: http://t.co/rptWWoM #
- It's cool seeing the different reports on who felt the earthquake and who didn't. The ground beneath plays huge role. #yvreq #
- .@LeftCoastMama I felt this one less than the Nisqually earthquake in 2001, despite it being closer. <shrug> #
- If you see tweets about a 9/11-ish attack on NY today, don't believe them. The @NBCNews account was hacked, is spreading false info. #
- RT @RollingStone Bono announces 'Achtung Baby' covers album w/Jack White, Depeche Mode, Patti Smith http://t.co/Oln38AO (cc @LeftCoastMama) #
- Oooh, please tell me #OTC is going to play Smooth Criminal by Alien Ant Farm @CBCStephenQuinn #
- So many Vancouverites have "never felt an earthquake." This was the 3rd one in 14 yrs that I've felt. Over-sensitive? #
- Via @gpsforthebrain RT @WayeMason: This is the best thing I have seen in a long time: http://t.co/VjhvcOH #nspoli #halifax #
- Breakfast. It's what's for supper. 'cause you were dying to know. http://t.co/OhALgmS #
- Thanks for the affirmation, Twitter pals. Seems like everyone likes breakfast for supper, sometimes. #
- I've stolen one of my wife's Bacardi Breezers. Don't tell her, ok? #
- How much longer are we going to pretend that it's the "World's Largest Undefended Border"? Helos, drones, armed TSA, undefended? #cdnpoli #
- Now up to 5 days of the same Amber Alert. I wonder if they worry about Cry-Wolf Syndrome? #
- And yea, the self-righteous shall be blocked with nary a second thought. #buhbye #
- Hmmm, didn't figure them for being "the loud neighbours" and yet this is the third or fourth loud, late party of the past few months. #
- OMG. Missing 3yr old Kienan returned apparently unharmed to his home at 3am this morning! http://t.co/2a2EkIy #
- There is a lot of stern voice counting backwards happening this morning. #
- MT @findchico: You'd think he'd just drop him off at a 7/11 somewhere else rather than go back to the home. #
- I had no idea that stern-voice counting direction was an issue! #TeamCountdown @alexishinde @SlvrLambStudios @buzzbishop @catriona #
- Today's poser from 6 yr old: Is math a science? He says yes: you can make observations about patterns in numbers, make & test hypotheses #
- Weird. Two medevac helicopters and the RCMP Air 1 flying overhead. Wonder what's going on. #
- OK, they're flying formation over False Creek now. Maybe not Air 1, maybe a camera crew? #
- BCAS helos still at it flying over the city in formation with 3rd helo. Clearly a promo shoot of some sort. #yvr #
- Still trying to understand how a stranger abducts a non-verbal 3 yr old, takes care of him for 5 days, then sneaks him back home at 3 am. #
