• 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. #
