  • RT @Hermida: Oops. Beware of the duck RT @nickbilton: OK, this is the best Ad placement Fail ever: http://bit.ly/97cK0R #
  • Enough zombie slayage. Dad's gotta sleep. #deadrising #
  • The complaints about losing parking to a dedicated bike lane by the Hornby St merchants? Utter crap http://t.co/vRRecau #NIMBY #
  • The arrogance of Bill Vander Zalm complaining about out-of-pocket expenses when his actions are going to cost us $30M is astounding. #
  • Dear cyclists riding along W Broadway instead of the bike route 1 block up: You're not helping *anything*. #NoCommonSense #NoCommonCourtesy #
  • This morning's coding soundtrack: Social Distortion, Sloan, TPOH. Mood: Rocking out. #
  • Gwen's 10:30 doctor's appointment (surgery, to be fair) is still pending at 11:45. Doctors' clocks work at different speeds. #
  • I know doctors are typically overworked, understaffed, and that urgent things come up all the time. #
  • Still, it strikes me that it should be a time-management issue that can be solved. That way patients don't lose patience. #
