• The Google Doodle of the day always links to a search that includes coverage of the Google Doodle as one of its top hits. This needs a name. #
  • Whoa. Bowen Island mayoral interviews/debate on CBC just turned nasty. @CBCEarlyEdition #

  • Wind rips the leaves off // like arms from a zombie // Happy Hallowe'en #twaiku #
  • Ride safely folks RT @Stv: Can't stop shaking. Was inches from being pulverized by a truck running a red, Broadway & Ontario. #btww #bikeyvr #
  • Oh look! The @kitsilano post on licensing cyclists has brought out the anti-cyclist rants. Full of fallacies & misconceptions. Fun times! #
  • Pet "peeve": People who "think" that quotes "should" be used in bizarre "ways". Just write in all caps, please, so I don't even try to read. #
  • I'm not sure I understand reasons for building new schools when kids are in danger fr quakes in existing old schools cc: @CBCStephenQuinn #
  • I mean, $310M for new schools … and how much more to speed up the EQ rehabilitation process in existing schools? cc: @CBCStephenQuinn #
  • Let's do this thing http://t.co/iPpoSHC2 #
  • Scary pumpkin! http://t.co/Zc6ZNqG7 #
  • Lots of kids at the co-op tonight. Most places running out now (7:30)! #
  • The eyes have it http://t.co/Ufo686V5 #
  • .@findchico Mostly. @GwenFloyd made most of the robot costume (except the head, which @AidanFloyd won at … the CBC) and …1/2 #
  • .@findchico … @AidanFloyd's costume was a mix of bought pieces and home-made (or modified) 2/2 #
  • Now to get the kids to go to sleep before the fireworks get too loud #weirdhalloweentraditions #
  • Nuts. Someone messed with my alarm clock and today was one of those rare days didn't wake before the alarm. #
  • Hoser, eh? RT @BobSongs: @RodSmelser That just frosts my canoe ! #
  • That was a perfect sans-gear landing. Amazing that the engines stay on. #
  • Seriously Google? First Reader gets moved from the toolbar, then the UI gets overhauled, and now "An error has occurred" all the time. #
  • I guess bit rot is setting in. Time to export my feeds to some other aggregator. #reader #
  • Post on "Why cyclists do bad things" gets insightful discussion. Post on "Licenses for cyclists" gets vitriol. Huh? http://t.co/JbH7pIQv #
  • This is hilarious: Sports anchor Barry Deley of @GlobalBC wins lottery home live on air http://t.co/32qPbfUX (via @miss604) #
  • Older cousin just asked me for contact details by email. Kudos to her, but can't she just stalk me on Twitter like the rest of you? #
  • Sigh. Kid opened with "I don't want to go to school today" and followed up with low grade temperature. Hmmm, might have to believe him today #
  • Anyone know of network infrastructure problems in Vancouver? We're having some routing problems that no one has owned yet. #
  • 23+ mins on hold with UBC IT services. They're giving Shaw a good run for responsiveness. #
  • Good lord. @GwenFloyd has had *another* bank card compromised. The Interac system and retailers need to get their shit together. #
  • Kate is waaay better than gEdit. Amiright? #musingswhilewaitingforcodetocompile #
  • Yup, @CBCStephenQuinn and @cbcfoxman are doing a good job at inspiring the take-your-kids-to-work kids. #ill #otc #
  • Just got called by the Vision Vancouver campaign. A real person, not a robo-dial! Lots of calls from NPA, no real ppl yet. #vanpoli #
  • Aidan has been asleep since 5pm. I wonder what the chances of him sleeping through the night are. #
  • So sick kid, asleep since 5pm woke at 2am. Wonder how likely it is that I'll get back to sleep now. Thank goodness for Vintage Radio. #
  • My name is Friday. Dun-da-dun-dunt. #
  • Bike to work week this fall has been great. Out of 6 legs so far, only one has been wet. 2 days left! #btww #bikeyvr #

  • Who knew? Hadn't heard anything about the project until just tonight. Quite an ambitious project! #
  • Apparently the streets are icy for the last day of Bike To Work Week. Keep the rubber side down folks! #BTWW #bikeyvr #
  • Brrrr, that was a chilly ride. Black ice all through Kits. And motorists? Clear your windows. Driving while fogged/iced is STUPID. #dumbass #
  • Thank goodness for insulated riding gear. #icewhine #
  • Most bike friendly city in North America? Sorry Portlanders, it's Montreal. http://t.co/bmFZpTLM As a former Montrealer, I fully agree #
  • (last link was via @BLAH_CITY. Whom you should follow.) #
  • It's a Van Halen sort of morning. #
  • The NPA's #occupyvancouver position about to backfire. How do they propose safely removing people who don't recognize authority of VPD/VFRS? #
  • Wow, they're *not* the 99%. RT @unambig: For a good laugh, here are the Occupy Vancouver list of demands: http://t.co/Uq3gMpIp (pdf) #
  • NPA's #occupyvancouver position abt to backfire. How do they propose safely removing tents of ppl who don't recognize authority of VPD/VFRS? #
  • Commentary about the NPA's position updated to more accurately represent what they have said thx to @CityCaucus #
  • The point remains. The #occupyvancouver ppl are not going to sit idly by while tents are forcibly removed. To think otherwise is naive. #
  • .@charenton_ Hey look! An ad hominem attack! Thanks, hadn't met my quota today. #
  • WTF? #occupyvancouver #039;s list of demands includes "release of all non-violent prisoners" & "independent investigation into 9/11" #
  • Who do they think they are, the BEP? Super Bowl & Grey Cup!? RT @hosea24hours: Nickelback to play the Grey Cup halftime show in Vancouver. #
  • Just once I'd like Nick or Sally's mother to show some common sense and say they can't go to the Drippity-Dry Desert or wherever. @kidscbc #
  • .@garymasonglobe on @suzanneanton's plan to remove #OccupyVancouver protesters: "It's preposterous, of course" http://t.co/VJIEdlVk #vanpoli #
  • Seem to have overlooked something in the parenting handbook. Neither kid has ever had Jello, won't touch it now that they're both sick. #
  • Although, before @citycaucus corrects me again, I believe @suzanneanton has only said she'd remove the *tents*, not the ppl #vanpoli #
  • Although, I'm not sure that "removing the tents" will be viewed any differently than "removing the protesters" in practice #vanpoli #
  • Sigh. 3rd set of PJs today for @QuinlanFloyd. Being sick isn't much fun for anyone. #
  • So, uh, anyone know what the Vancouver Apple Stores' stock of iPhones is like? #
  • Good news is truck wasn't stolen. Towed from residential street after being 2 hrs in violation. No outstanding tix. WTMF!? #
  • OMG Superstore. My lane and both side have cashiers who are confused and on their phones. #frustrated #
  • My superhero talent is finding the slowest checkout lanes. And if I switch to yours, despair! #frustrated #
  • Woke sick child, asking if he wanted supper. Apparently he wants another 2 hrs on his nap. This bodes … poorly. #
  • Hey Vancouverites, keep an eye out for @neilhimself tonight, he's wifeless and adventuring downtown. #yvr #
  • Just checked the #bcga forums. Shouldn't have bothered. #flamewars #notsofun #geocaching #

  • This "About the new look" pop-up is driving me nuts. It keeps coming back. #gmail #
  • For those keeping count, the counts are: 4 changes of PJs, 3 changes of bedding, 1 towed vehicle, 1 laundered phone. #suckitsaturday #
  • I've written and deleted at least 10 tweets tonight. If I don't head to bed I'm going to really start pissing people off #suckitsaturday #
  • I knew that Whole Foods was going to be nothing but trouble MT @ScanBC: VPD investigating a shooting on the street at 7th & Ash st #
  • Things they don't tell you about parenting part 153: When a child complains "That's not funny!", it's guaranteed to be at least a little bit #
  • Huh. #9 bus EB on Broadway has "Sorry, bus full". 5:15 on a Sunday. WTF? @translink #
