  • I don't do #FollowFriday But let me say that @EatsShootsEdits is one of the most courageous and inspirational folks out there. Just sayin' #
  • School closures in Vancouver: Many kneejerk complaints that *their* school shouldn't be closed. Reflects "Me first, screw you" attitude here #
  • Toronto or Afghanistan? This is how the CBC is dressing its camera operators today http://twitpic.com/1zwmom #cbcg20 #
  • Utterly unable to concentrate today, which is unfortunate b/c today's the first in ages that I've had time to do *real* work. #
  • Toronto G8/G20 protest size? ~2000. Lots of riot police, etc. Vancouver critical mass ride size? ~2000 (?) Size of police presence? Dozen? #
  • RT @gregeh: @AnthonyFloyd ~1300 and maybe 20 for june YVR CM. Point valid. #
  • Upside to critical mass ride tonight? *My* ride home will encounter only cyclists wearing helmets acting responsibly. #
  • Ride home summary: Not all the boneheads went to critical mass. To their credit, though, they were protecting both brain cells with helmets. #
  • Frakkin' BSG miniseries marathon tonight. Oh yeah. #
  • Does anyone know if Caprica got picked up for a second season — and if so, when does it start in Canada? #
  • RT @polarisdotca: Spectac ISS flyover #YVR tonight. Look W at 11:44p (just above Saturn). Station goes overhead, sets in E at 11:50p. #
  • Wait, *Sharon* is a Cylon? #BSGSpoilers #
  • Reminder! RT @polarisdotca: Spectac ISS flyover #YVR tonight. Look W at 11:44p. Station goes overhead, sets in E at 11:50p. Wicked bright! #
  • And if you really want to geek out, here're the details of tonight's bright ISS pass: http://bit.ly/dsG9uD (Vancouver) #
  • RT @polarisdotca: If you're outside in #YVR waiting for ISS, bright star in SW, midway fr horiz to zenith is Arcturus. ISS ~6-10x brighter. #
  • Wow, *really* bright over-head ISS pass, whizzing by 360 km above. Thanks @polarisdotca for heads-up! #
  • 1 week to @geowoodstock! Drop by the @BCGeocaching table between 12-12:30 to meet @LeftCoastMama and I (Team LeftCoastFloyds) #
  • Independent toddler is independent #
  • RT @alexishinde: 80s music playing, of course. Highlight of this morning: The Imp singing along with "Won't you take me to… monkeytown?" #
  • Independent toddler called my bluff this morning. After shrieking again, I asked "Do you want to go to bed?" and got a "Yes!". Sleeping now. #
  • This precedent is not good. #
  • RT @unambig: Uhoh, now the police car is on fire: http://twitpic.com/207lxz #g20 [Sigh] #
  • It's going to be great hearing the spin about how the Toronto police "provoked" the protesters into burning police cars #asshats #
  • I wonder how many CPC members infiltrated Black Block in order to cause problems + justify the security costs? #tinfoilhat #g20 #notreally #
  • RT @stephen_taylor: "I condemn violent protest at the G20" Retweet if you do. #
  • RT @chrislabossiere: Clear link between burning police cars & ending poverty. Maybe punch an old lady too to stop global warming. #G20 #
  • I don't understand. How can there be an extra 31 minutes added on to a #worldcup game? Arbitrarily? #
  • Don't often agree w/ Normal Spector, but he's right: way to deal w/ violent protestors is ostracization by the left: http://bit.ly/aLOrrc #
  • Masked protest? Sure sign of cowardice. Conformity of non-conformists. Leads to mob mentality as individuality is lost. Asshatry abounds. #
  • RT @ShireenJ: Another reason not ready to lead Canada. RT @anndouglas: Liberal Party said it does not comment on events as they unfold. #
  • Really #LPC No comment on violence in the streets of Canada's biggest city? Not only a #LeadershipFail but also a #SocialFail #
  • Civ IV (The Complete Edition) is on sale today on Steam for $10. http://bit.ly/c1Uqg1 That'll be an incredibly low $/hr purchase! #
  • Tornado watch upgraded to warning in Windsor, Ontario. Be safe out there @seanmhair, others! #
  • RT @mikeminer: hell of a thing to have a cop waving a baton at you while you're trying to tweet #g20 #
  • PMSH and the Cons already hate the CBC. Now they've harassed/arrested CTVers at the #G20 Good thing Sun TV News is coming soon. #
  • I want a girl with a short skirt and a looooooong …. scarf. (A's version of a Cake song) Ah, @thepeak plays great songs :) #
  • While everyone screams police brutality at the #G20 actions, a little perspective please. Remember Tiananmen Square? #
  • RT @geowoodstock: A list of recommended caches in WA, broken down by area. http://bit.ly/9L3K6A [Geowoodstock in 6 days!] #
