  • Well played Vancouver. The sleet on this morning's ride was an unexpected joy. #bikeyvr #
  • Yarbuds, are of course, what pirates wear. Yurbuds is what I meant. #
  • The new @yurbuds work great. Comfortable, weather-resistant, they stay in, and I can hear traffic noises no problem. #
  • Classy Groupon. Please explain how an aluminium dog-tag is "GPS-enabled": http://t.co/6Q7NfnOM #falseadvertising #
  • RT @kitsilano: Winter commuting: Gear and technique http://t.co/uuH9nzAM #bikeyvr #
  • False alarm! The Princess Bride remake rumour was false. The Reitman thing was just a table-reading. http://t.co/MsJG1b0h #
  • Glad I'm not trying to get into university. UBC now considering "life profiles" of 18yr olds for admission. Let the hyper-competition ensue! #
  • Puking on the steps of the Art Gallery. Quinlan's a real Vancouverite now! #
  • Skating night with the Beavers @ Robson Square http://t.co/Vvr1ayi2 #
  • Blerg. Just got added to *another* "moms" twitter list. Really? *Really*!? #dadcamp #
  • Not just pretty pink bricks, but segregating the girls from the boys: LEGO limits girl-stuff to girl-only mag http://t.co/AEfThtmk #
  • Clearly LEGO is in the middle of a campaign aimed at getting girls more interested in LEGO but … they're doing it wrong. #
  • In short term it might help them (maybe?) but in long term, is this really a healthy approach? Girls here, doing girl stuff, boys there? #
  • Confession: I love "inside baseball" tweets. Follow @behindblueline for a virtual ride-along w/ @vpd's Cst. Glendinning #yvr #
  • Chuck D #beardcore http://t.co/jz2hoYrp #
  • The futuer is now. 2.4 gigathertz! http://t.co/aZEttXcy #
  • At my first federal funding announcement. Yay? #crn #ubc #
  • $9.8M for Composites Research Network RT @davidakin: #NOW in Vancouver: Min Lynne Yelich announces funding for composites industry #
  • Canadian gov't announces $9.8M to fund the pan-Western Composites Research Network HQ'd at UBC. http://t.co/icqlHyog #
  • $9.8M is a huge amount for funding a university-based research network. It'll be interesting to see how much coverage the announcement gets. #
  • Ok motorists, swearing at me, following me, tailgaiting me. I consider that a physical threat. 911 next time. #asshat #bikeyvr #
  • Seriously, tailgating a bike on a bike route, gunning the engine and yelling obscenities? Keep it classy Vancouver. #bikeyvr #
  • Those kids had a great time putting their Lego man aloft, but … it wasn't "space". Or even close. Space = 100 km up. Lego man ~ 25 km up. #
  • Don't get me wrong: cool project. Just not "space". #
  • It's Pajama Time! (Shhhhhhhhhh.) Good night. Sleep tight. #lastlinebeforebed #
  • Pretty sure most of my ancestors were Irish. Don't feel bad for having beer instead of scotch tonight. #robbieburns #
  • MC knows what's rad http://t.co/huWnx0VV #
  • Dear cat: As if I'm not neurotic enough, thank you for reminding me I'm falling behind in our routine tonight. Repeatedly and loudly. #
  • The boys cooperatively cleaned the cats' dishes and then fed them their daily kibble. Apparently today it's "cat food //supreme//"! #
  • To say that the amount of food they received is excessive is like saying winter in Vancouver is a little wet. #
  • So local media utterly ignored the $9.8 million federal announcement for UBC engineering yesterday. But medicine gets every drop covered? #
  • Not quite what you might think … RT @kitsilano: Trader Joe’s in Kits? http://t.co/BgVQDpuz #
  • New delivery guy from @goldengreatwall? Rang door bell – hasn't happened since a friend who was babysitting chewed reg one out 4 yrs ago #
  • Only an Ontario university, located in south-eastern Ontario at that, would try to rebrand itself as just "Western" #uwo #westernalienation #
  • I mean, the "University of Western Ontario" was quite a stretch, given it's in the eastern third of the province, but "Western · Canada"!? #
  • Do kids still go to "video dances" at schools? Or do they just throw YouTube up on a projector in the gym? #
  • "One for the Money is a romantic comedy without any romance or comedy!" – Eli Glasner (@glasneronfilm) on @cbcvancouver this morning. Ha! #
  • Wow, three power interruptions in the past 2 minutes. This could be a fun afternoon. #ubc #
  • RT @GwenFloyd: Apparently our childhood is back, video dances still alive & well. @ Dunbar Community Centre http://t.co/GzhIS4tw #
  • So, Twitter blackout tomorrow, but we can still post to identi.ca, right? <crickets> #
  • While we might have @CBCStephenQuinn's tomorrow tweets tonight, I'd have been more impressed if they were tomorrow's Instagrams. #
  • Guaranteed to impress and make you smile. Unusual for a Depeche Mode song. http://t.co/4TQXzGwk #
  • Dear weather system: We are not at "higher elevation". The snow currently falling is not permitted. #snomg #
  • It seems that our favourite fish and chips joint, the Windjammer Inn, which mysteriously vanished fr Main St has reappeared on Commercial! #
  • It remains to be seen if it's the same owners and same quality of food, but we're willing to give them a chance. #
  • .@MichelleLKent They have a website and Twitter account too. I suspect it's changed hands: http://t.co/2PfaCONr @WindJammer7 #
  • Out doing some #geocaching cache maintenance http://t.co/w5IsnuQX #
  • poppybrew's photo http://t.co/U8C7xzRX cc: @kitsilano #
  • Happy to report it only took me a few minutes to find our OWN geocache that I can never find quickly. #geocaching #
  • Welcome to the rainforest … http://t.co/2RCSsN2X #
  • The sad end of a Well-Hung geocache. MetroVancouver Parks says it must go. :'( http://t.co/lBQtDlvo #
  • Family bowling night http://t.co/OsQhiWD1 #
  • Huzzah! The @windjammer7 is the Main St restaurant, relocated. Same staff, recipes and prices. Got a heartily "we missed you!" fr the staff! #
  • Here is our green sheep, fast asleep. #lastlinebeforebed #
  • Fresh-paint smell @carouseltheatre #
  • Rolling right along #floydphotowalk @ Granville Island http://t.co/EiMfdWLu #
  • Aidan sent himself to bed to "listen to the radio!" in protest of the family movie choice. 40 minutes ago. #monstervsaliens #

Anthony on , 23 Jan 2012 08:15 am
  • Prudence being the better part of valour + a quick check of surrounding roads and forecast means I'm getting to work by bus today. #bikeyvr #
  • Hearing the hail/ice pellets bounce off the dining room windows also pushes me in that direction. Le sigh. #yvrsnowweek #
  • Door-to-door, it takes me ~35 min to ride my bike into work in the morning. Transit + walking? 45+ min. #bikeyvr #
  • RT @kitsilano: A Public Bike System for Vancouver? http://t.co/LI8S7bPL #bikeyvr #
  • New Order's "Temptation" being played on @thepeak right now. What, not "Blue Monday" on … well, Blue Monday? :) #
  • A glance out the window seems to show that Vancouver got absolutely no snow at all last night. 50 kms east, schools are closed. Weird. #
  • Half-way to school http://t.co/GJDZzaFo #
  • Shop-window wisdom http://t.co/hexbFP2Z #
  • And now we play bus-roulette. One 99 refused to let people on. How many more? #yayfortransit #yvr #translink #
  • Spam of the day: "Tim Hortons is handing away new gifts. They are pretty handy in a crowd, and there may be wolves." Um, okay. #
  • Weird, looks like a rocket exhaust trail above the LSC #ubc #yvr http://t.co/Ruz2hPn9 #
  • Wow, this BBC translation of the Italian Coast Guard and the cruise ship captain is something else. Amazing. #otc #
  • Don't understand #bctf #039;s contention that they need to attract more teachers. Seems that there is a horrendous surplus of teachers in BC #otc #
  • Oh great, another math-is-hard story. #
  • As someone who's had to deal w/ math skills of 1st yrs studying *engineering* I don't have any sympathy for "my kid deserves higher marks" #
  • From there to here,
    from here to there,
    funny things are everywhere. #
  • This: http://t.co/zwmFZYY0 is a compelling, must-read interview with George Lucas. Loved it. #
  • I suspect the @vpl should be careful what it wishes for. "Ask A Librarian While Wikipedia Is Dark" could be overwhelming! #
  • Also, disturbing. Would *you* like to field everyone's Wikipedia searches? #
  • Snow in Sooke? Great, our quality-of-life index is going to drop again. #yvr #
  • Almost there! cc: @gwenfloyd http://t.co/1W53z0xR #
  • Snow-riding rules: Slow. Defensive driving. No toe clips. Brake only with the rear. Oops. #bikeyvr #snomg #
  • The ride in was pretty good, actually, but if this stuff isn't gone by tonight it's going to be a nightmare. #
  • :facepalm: Glance at @herpderpedia's stream. Each of those people should have their internet licenses revoked. With a giant clue-bat. #
  • Keystone's dead: Will that mean a push to process our own crude in Canada? More refineries? Or will we just ship it off to China? #
  • Given our historical treatment of natural resources + apparent unwillingness to process, killing Keystone is a big win for China. #cdnpoli #
  • "I tripped and fell into a lifeboat." — You know, at some point continuing to lie gets you into more trouble. #WellPastThatPoint #
  • Wimped out, requested pick-up from work. Took side trip to take a look at Off-Broadway. Made the right decision; it's utterly treacherous. #
  • How many songs does it have on it? Maybe 10-15. FOR THE WHOLE THING!? http://t.co/5gAeHoct (via @scalzi) #
  • One hippo, alone once more, misses the other forty-four. #lastlinesbeforebed #
  • Comments on my Vancouver Bike-Share post are interesting. What do you think about helmets-required bike-share prgm? http://t.co/sGOK1NMN #
  • How was your commute this morning? Here's mine. Not too exciting other than dropping the bike at 0:45 http://t.co/heAiMqnh #bikeyvr #
  • Yesterday, it was bike commuting in the snow: http://t.co/heAiMqnh Today, it's back to the bus since the streets are crusty w/ ice. #
  • Rather than remove this little bit of snow, they chose to put up tape and write a sign! Only in YVR http://t.co/h0nw5c3i #
  • An explosion downtown Vancouver yesterday that took out fibre-optic runs? How did I not hear about this? http://t.co/UgUBs227 #
  • Winter storm warning for Vancouver: 5-15 cm snow, changing through freezing rain to rain. Tomorrow sounds fun. http://t.co/1DlQblY7 #
  • The more @thepeak plays local *high school band* Good For Grapes' "Skipping Stone", the more I like it. @kenhardie must be proud! #
  • An easy, but entertaining Quinn's Quizz today #otc @cbcstephenquinn showed off his mad audio editing skillz. #
  • Anyone have a snow/ice report for the Off-Broadway bike route? Think I'm going to ride home tonight. #bikeyvr #
  • Off-Broadway bike route road conditions report: 60 blocks of comfortable riding, 6 blocks of abject terror (Trafalgar to Arbutus) #bikeyvr #
  • Well, they were the very best of friends and Small Knight never had to fight a very fierce dragon again. #lastlinebeforebed #
  • Only in Vancouver: try to use the bass in your car to prevent the freezing rain from icing the windows of your BMW. #
  • At least, I can only assume why the DB had his music on 11 as he slid down our back alley. #
  • Oh Vancouver, you're so unused to this. http://t.co/twPllkKQ #
  • Chaos is: trying to cross Oak + Broadway as a pedestrian with the lights flashing red. 4-way stop people! #yvr #
  • Somewhere over there is the door. #yayfortransit http://t.co/AxG9eedF #
  • Someone in the office just brought The Backyardigans into a technical discussion. No, it wasn't me. #
  • BTW this & health $ response, they're in trouble! RT @somecanuckchick: Sarah Burke's sponsor @MonsterEnergy PR #FAIL http://t.co/J15Iuh0Z #
  • Seriously. RT @CBCStephenQuinn: There are lots of reasons not to drink Monster Energy drinks. Here's another: http://t.co/fL2JlTl5 #
  • Yay, @yurbuds arrived. Bought sight-unseen based on reviews + recco fr @buzzbishop. Awesomesauce. http://t.co/9mWRVfPp #
  • 20,000? 30,000? people leave UBC by bus every day. One asshat stealing a cell phone is enough to shut that down!? http://t.co/eBhOpxOo #
  • With Picnik being shut down by Google, what's the next-best alternative for online image manipulation? #
  • It occurs to me that the only time I've been in the Aberdeen Centre was circling the garage a few times and then leaving. #richmond #
  • Here's our green sheep, fast asleep. #lastlinebeforebed #
  • Mid-January? Why yes, it *is* time fir a sciatica flare-up. Sigh. #
  • Oh yeah. V.I.P. http://t.co/xmcc8bET #
  • But he's very fond of his yellow underpants. #lastlinebeforebed #
  • Odd moment of being alone on a Sunday. G & A are in Washington, Q at theatre class. Weird. #
  • The Rio's already chosen booze over movies; we know which is the bigger money-maker. Who wants to sit next to a drunk at a movie? #
  • Kinetic sculpture @ Granville Island http://t.co/SaKGYov6 #
  • Is there anything more fun than fighting with a preschooler who needs a nap but won't nap? Nope, didn't think so. #whiteflag #
  • Making up for aborted nap grumpiness by helping make meatballs http://t.co/w7hhG919 #
  • Oh, balls! http://t.co/mG5fwS2K #
  • A remake of The Princess Bride? http://t.co/Lgu2fcll I'm with Mandy Patinkin on this one. #
  • RT @Phanyxx: Nobody takes water-drops-on-the-window Instagram photos like Vancouverites. We've got that locked down. #
  • Actually, I'm pretty sure I do. RT @iaminigomontoya: @AnthonyFloyd You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means #
  • Ah yes. Don't taunt the Inigo bot. #

  • Whoa, tough questioning of the representative of BC Alliance of Liquor Licensees. @cbcstephenquinn #otc Sunday LC openings contentious? #

  • RT @MikeKlassen: What would be point of repealing helmet law intended to save lives & health costs? So we can make a free bike program work? #
  • So far off the curve http://t.co/uGdo5nos #evolution #infographics #antiscience #
  • Neither child is up. Quick, someone look outside. Are frogs raining from the sky too? #
  • And just like that, they're both up. Be careful what you wish for :) #
  • Mysteries of life: @CityofVancouver puts de-icer down on cold, dry bike routes, but does nothing when there's heavy frost. #dewpoint #
  • Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that they pay attention to the bike routes, but it's a bit like plowing when there's no snow. #yvr #yul #
  • Spare change? #shitvancouveritessay #
  • .@KathrynMarlow At least you don't have to shovel it! #shitvancouveritessay Related: It's *liquid sunshine* #
  • Riptide! It's growing on me. http://t.co/CQNLe9FU #
  • Got a new bike light today, plugged it in to recharge and after 15 minutes the charger had melted in one spot. I guess it's going back. :( #
  • Today, on the other hand, both boys have been up since 5 am. And I am Mr. Crankypants. Correlation = causation in this case. #
  • Sub-zero ride. Nice day for it, beautiful moonset over Point Grey, but should have warn my booties. Toe audit passed, but tingly! #bikeyvr #
  • So, it turns out assembling an 800 lb table is a bit of work. #
  • .@AmberStrocel About 4 ft x 3 ft. It's a solid marble balance table. http://t.co/oMDtKiKq #
  • The stench of pot from the construction site behind us is overpowering. Bet that's quality work happening right now. Luxury thouses for sure #
  • UK man sets up website in UK, links to others' content. US Customs & Border Protection Agency extradites man to US! http://t.co/ti9ZT4Va #
  • How messed up is that? That the US can go after the citizen of another country for something that country doesn't deem illegal!? #
  • "I just don't want her to grow up and join one if those star cults. I don't trust that Richard Dawkins." #
  • Wow, glad I didn't promise the kids snow in the morning. Nothing but a slushy mess out there now, despite the excited tweets fr last night #

  • You know it's going to be a painful exit through the cash when you have to get a second cart while grocery shopping. #

  • And, of course, they're all doing The Timewarp now. Erm, again. #
  • Oh, this is *so* inappropriate. #sweettransvestitesabound #
  • There might be table-dancing now. #
  • This is about the only Meatloaf music that @gwenfloyd likes. >sad face< #rockyhorror #bestparentsever #
  • Looks like Phobos-Grunt will fall to the Earth in the South Pacific, in a few hours. Heads up, Vanuatu! #
  • The federal Liberal delegates vote 77% in favour of legalizing and regulating pot, and the leader will veto it? This is democracy, how? #
  • Doesn't vetoing something 77% of your membership support alienate them? And undermine the party's credibility? #cdnpoli #ott12 #

  • Wondering how effective calling the @vpd non-emergency line will be at getting the stoned neighbours' loud party shut down. #
  • My suspicion is that it's just a "don't call 911" number that doesn't actually accomplish anything. #
  • .@speakerss They answered, took details, said they'd send some one. Party's still going strong. Thump. Thump. Thump. @Ambient_Skater #
  • After a brief lull (cops at door? too wasted to figure out the stereo?) the music's back. Thump. Thump. Thump. Asshats. #condolife #
  • And now the fucking music is waking the kids. Rage building. #
  • I think the party's over. Time to try to grab 3 hrs sleep. Asshat neighbours. #condolife #
  • .@vpd just called to apologize for not sending someone out to shutdown the party yet, and was it still going on? @GwenFloyd #
  • They were very apologetic but I'm disappointed. Noisy party wraps at 2:45 am & asshat neighbours have no idea that they've kept everyone up #
  • Salmon-coloured sunrise #yvr http://t.co/eQ3IWfCL #
  • At least, I think it's salmon-coloured. Could be my eyes due the fact that I got about 4 hrs sleep last night. #asshatneighbours #
  • It's the Jan 1st stat holiday. Or, as I like to call it, shutdown and move the servers day! #working #hopetheycomebackup #

  • Well, that's a cheerful forecast #otc Time to think about a Lexan fairing for the bike… #
  • I compulsively fix Tweets that have glaring typos, although usually they get RT'd at least once before I can. Not this time, phew. #
  • Went down to put the kids to bed; game went from 2-0 to 5-1? And a Russian tries to take the head off a Canuck & 'nuck is kicked out!? #wjc #

  • Nearly hit by car at t-circle 8th/Larch, proceeded to violate NY resolution #2 Asshat driver chased me, pulled "don't you know who I am?" #
  • Didn't have clarity of thought to respond he was asshat who nearly killed me and that's all I needed to know. #
  • Who nearly hits a cyclist and then pulls a "don't you know who I am?" How much of an egotistical asshat do you have to be? #bikeyvr #
  • If I'd known who he was, I would have treated him ROUGHER. Anyone who knows me knows not to run a t-circle on bike rte w/o looking. RIGHT!? #
  • And, he didn't seem too concerned about knowing who he nearly ploughed into. Oy-vey. #
  • Super impressed with Dell. Placed an order online yesterday ~5pm, had it in hand today at 10:15am. Free shipping. #winning #

  • Something is technically wrong. #
  • Seems to be an epidemic of bad driving in YVR today. What's to blame? Perihelion? #
  • Downstairs water is better #thingsiwillneverunderstand #cats #
  • WordWorld addressed the evil scourge of case-ism today. Whether you're upper case, or lower case, we're all the same. #
  • I guess that addresses the "is it live or is it memorex" question for Quinn's Quiz #otc @cbcstephenquinn #
  • Massively horrid driving at UBC: motorist turns wrong way down Westbrook Blvd & at same intersection, SUV comes to stop at green light! #WTF #
  • What a crazy ride home. Safe for me, but it was like zombies were driving every car/truck/bike on the road. #yvr #

  • 50 sec video of my commute last night: car turns wrong way onto blvd, SUV stops at green light. http://t.co/t9PGJzc0 #
  • When is a smoking ban not a smoking ban? When it's the Metro Vancouver parks ban. 1) Won't be enforced, 2) Only banned where ppl "gather"!? #
  • The Office of Religious Freedom sounds like one of those things that does exactly the opposite of what the name suggests. Do not want. #
  • I really wonder which religions the "Office of Religious Freedom" will be defending? What about non-believers? Are they hung out to dry? #
  • .@604Heather My expectation is that it will be used to push Conservative agendas (eg, anti-abortion) in the name of "religious freedom" #
  • This episode of Dragnet (Vintage Radio app FTW!) fr 1949 includes consulting a statistician who uses cards with an IBM machine! Wow! #hitech #
  • Weird. @gwenfloyd went out to the grocery store last night & 2 diff ppl logged the travel bug on our truck. That never happens! #geocaching #
