Twitter Weekly Updates for 2009-12-14

Anthony on , 14 Dec 2009 03:15 am
  • Gearing up for the first sub-zero ride of the season: -4. At least there's no snow/ice on the road! #
  • Thanks to the miracle of modern textiles and layering, I arrived at work toasty warm and invigorated #BikeToWork #
  • On a related note, I see the @cityofvancouver has moved to salting the roads with brine instead of rock salt. #
  • In the end, it's really only the lawyers that benefit (Music copyright holders sue CRIA http://bit.ly/7YIie0 for $60B, in Canada) #
  • Giddy about new client. The sort of place that would make me think long + hard about moving to the US; they're as bleeding edge as we are. #
  • Except much, much cooler. #
  • RT @laurict: McCartney tried Beatles: RB "I lost 2x .On easy. I was playing bass, I’m ashamed to say. It’s all red & green & yellow buttons" #
  • Spinning silently // rubber wheels meet frozen road // carrying me home #twaiku #
  • RT @GPSFix: http://twitpic.com/smawx – A shot of the Geocaching – Active dashboard on the Map Page. [New Oregon f/w; that screen rocks!] #
  • I don't know why the folks behind "Canada's Worst Driver" haven't set up driving schools for the public, doing the challenges. $ to be made! #
  • The "Smart Baby Case". Words fail me. http://bit.ly/7IivXU #
  • VPD why don't you do any traffic enforcement? On tonight's ride: 1 car, 1 pedestrian, and 2 bikes all blatantly ignoring red lights #anarchy #
  • RT @Nunavut_Teacher: It is -20 Celcius where I am today. What is the temp. where you are? (Class experiment) Need 20. #
  • Whoa. Facebook? If that's "simplified" privacy settings then … you're suffering collective delusion. #
  • Good luck to @buzzbishop as he gets ready for his @ampcalgary debut at noon MST #
  • The Weather Network (always pessimistic) has forecast as much as 40 cm of snow for Vancouver this weekend…. Uh-oh. (h/t @mozy19) #
  • Note: On Twitter, as in life in general, context is so very, very important. #DuctTape #LaceUndies #
  • YVR drivers: Turning hi-beams on + pulling into my lane when I'm coming at you only makes me angry. You should not be surprised at my words. #
  • It should be equally unsurprising that, now blinded, I'm unwilling to yield my lane + pull off into the icy debris on the side of the road #
  • I'm actually a little disappointed my earlier convo w/ @tjrossignol and @alexishinde didn't get me any #ducttape or #lacyundies follow-bots #
  • There ain't no party like a west coast party, 'cause a west coast party don't stop. 6 toddlers + parents testing that theory this morning. #
  • Yes I know I can "turn off" the owl.ly bar. I don't like that I have to, it doesn't always stick, it doesn't always work, + I don't trust it #
  • Mondoville.com has a poll on best fake CDN political twitter acct. @fakesteveharper is absent, reinforcing my idea that it's not a fake acct #
  • According to a @CityOfVancouver presser, the brine on the roads is a trial on bike routes. 1) It works quite well, 2) I've seen it on non-BR #
  • Must say that I've been quite impressed with @CityOfVancouver's treatment of the bike routes this fall. Leaves + ice much less of a problem #
  • Now if only @cityofvancouver could do something about the idiotic drivers. Like, how about some traffic enforcement? #
  • Just when I think that my opinion of the #cpc couldn't get any worse … Laurie Hawn opens his mouth. It's McCarthyism all over again. #
  • More Twitter pals trying to pull me into the darkness that is Facebook. The truth is that I don't get Facebook, but I'll happily friend you! #
  • Thinking about going to the VanDusen Festival of Lights this Saturday night with the kids. Snow forecast, Saturday night. Are we nuts? #
  • The number of Buffyisms I've seen on Twitter tonight make me wonder what kind of crowd I've fallen in with. Actually, you're all pretty cool #
  • XKCD rocks. Latest one: parenting and geekery http://xkcd.com/674/ (be sure to read the ALT text) #
  • For the first time in a very long time, I agree with my government: Cabinet overturns CRTC + allows @WINDmobile to enter the CDN cell market #
  • Dear @CityOfVancouver; Salting the bike routes = good! Gunning the spreader as I pass, showering me in rock salt? Not cool. Also, ouch. WTF? #
  • RT @canadaliving: Dr Peter Watts, Canadian science fiction writer, beaten and arrested at US border http://bit.ly/6wnbl4 #
  • Re: last tweet. *That* is why I have no sympathy for the US journalist who was *gasp* ASKED QUESTIONS at the CDN border. #
  • Here's what it feels like to be treated less than human when you dare cross the US border: http://bit.ly/6qyxN4 #
  • A whole host of followers today from Vancouver. Weird. Where did you all come from? #yvr #
  • RT @jaypiddy: Good luck to all the #12x12yvr participants. Wish I could have joined in on the fun.  [Ditto] #
  • while not 1: bastards.wearDown(you) # Illegitimi non carborundum. (Tweet 10000!) #
  • And, yes, I'm aware it's a nonsense phrase. "Noli nothi permittere te terere." is roughly the correct phrase. It doesn't have the same ring. #
  • Back from VanDusen Festival of Lights. Went at right time, weren't too many people. No snow, but ponds were frozen! #yvr #xmas #
  • I get so frustrated w/ Windows. 1.7 GB RAM in use, no progs running. Clearly something has gone sideways, but no way to know what. Reboot. #
  • Snow has reached downtown YVR. Panic will set in in 3… 2… 1… #
  • Cleaning up wife's laptop. Apple, you ignorant pig. Why was the "MobileMe Control Panel" installed along side Safari, iTunes, etc? #NoIPhone #
  • I don't know what's happening at @muppetsstudio, but The Muppets are rejuvenated again. Carol of The Bells is awesome http://bit.ly/4rakOd #
  • Aw, I feel bad after discovering real tears after mocking my 1 yr old's fake cry. #BadDad #
  • On the other hand he's magically transfixed by the amazing falling snow. #MomentsToLiveFor #
  • Finished Xmas tree hunting. Wasn't much of a battle and Hey! didn't fall off the ladder. Now to assemble it. Biggest challenge yet to come. #
  • Everytime Max shrugs, drink. Everytime the narrator says "Whoville", drink. #XmasSpecialsMadeSpecial #
  • So the green guy started with a heart 2 sizes too small, then ends w/ one size too big. I dunno if eating roast beast is the best idea … #
  • Well, @LeftCoastMama is still lighting the tree. It's unclear if I'll need to go out THIS year for another string of lights or two. #
  • Operation Light'Em Up enters its fourth hour. Mind you there've been interruptions for naps and supper. Upper third of the tree to go. #
  • So she's reached the last string of lights. Upper quarter of tree still unlit. This is going over as well as you might expect :p #
  • RT @LeftCoastMama: You may commence the mocking now. I am headed out for more lights for our Xmas tree. [At least *I'm* not going for them] #
  • .@cognoscento I'm pretty certain no one can explain Sephora to me. #NaturalIsBeautiful #
  • I know you're all breathlessly waiting for this: RT @LeftCoastMama: http://twitpic.com/tgmse – Et voila! #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2009-12-07

Anthony on , 07 Dec 2009 03:15 am
  • Landlord wants us to give strata handyman key and unrestricted unannounced access to our suite ("he won't knock"). Comments about legality? #
  • Thanks @bgrier @jeffbachman @brightwhite @providentmike @gnb @erinlouise for responses. Have reminded landlord about Resident'l Tenancy Act. #
  • I've also asked questions about status of handyman re: bonded, insured, etc (thanks @bgrier). That wasn't primary concern, but good q's! #
  • Yay! New Tweetdeck is out, and it supports lists! http://bit.ly/6V4Okx #
  • RT @Stv: Reminder! Come to the Vancouver Foodbank Fundraiser Tweetup Dec 2, 5pm Library Square Public House http://bit.ly/52ZDFb for RSVP #
  • So I unfollowed a bunch of people yesterday. Today TwitDiff tells me about who reciprocated the unfollow. Very interesting. #
  • The type of people who unfollow b/c I unfollowed? Don't really want them following me anyway. #WinWin #
  • I mean, are their egos REALLY so fragile? Buh-bye! Don't let the whale eat you on your way out! #
  • So #Tweetdeck implements geolocation and the only thing I've learned is that @danudey spends all his time on a beach… #
  • Awesome. @nicole013 blogs about politicians trying to gain power by running a campaign of fear http://bit.ly/65sWue #
  • Gwen (setting Aidan's magnetic calendar up): "When's Hanukkah?" Me: "That's the day they light the menorah" <– Well I thought it was funny! #
  • An great post about toddler-proofing your tech toys by @awsamuel http://bit.ly/8RxN3M Been there, done that. Fortunately we're ready for Q #
  • I feel sad for all those who abandoned their 'mo tonight. Time to go #beardcore now guys! #movember #
  • After the last update, I think I need to abandon #Tweetdeck. They broke it in too many ways. #
  • 1) Lists are too expensive in API vs groups 2) Read tweets don't stay hidden on refresh 3) Tweets read in lists don't get removed from all #
  • So, Twitterville, what's the next best desktop client? #
  • RT @danudey: @AnthonyFloyd #Febeardary? {I like it. Now to find a charity to support :) } #
  • #Irony of the day: Passed hipster on bicycle w/ 2-stroke engine strapped on. He was wearing one of those pollution masks. #
  • Hilarious. Kids in schools in Halifax will have 2 weeks off for 2011 CANADA Winter Games, but kids in Vancouver won't for the 2010 OLYMPICS! #
  • So much drama. Handyman didn't show up at agree upon time or 2 hours thereafter. "Power plays" by men with fragile egos are so laughable. #
  • Holy passive-aggressive, Batman. Power-mad handyman suddenly conciliatory. Gone from "emergency! give me keys!" to "meh, whenever". #
  • Tomorrow is Vancouver Christmas Foodbank Fundraiser Tweetup at the Library Square Public House 5-7 pm. http://bit.ly/8lCEzA Are you coming? #
  • Aidan's to the point where *he's* reading me books good night. Tonight was Scaredy Squirrel's Trip to the Beach. 90% him, 10% me #ProudDad #
  • And while we're talking tweetups, how about joining us down in Stanley Park for a Bright Nights train ride on Dec 18th? http://bit.ly/8s0evP #
  • So much easier to catch up on Twitter than Google Reader. Mark All As Read. #
  • White-capped mountains // puffs of frosty winter air // Awesome ride to work #twaiku #
  • I like the new Hedley album "The Show Must Go". That's right, I said it. It's Bon Jovi pop with Green Day cheekiness. #
  • This just in. Amazon.ca won't honour the Mac Mini pricing ($67) that they had on Black Friday. Disappointed but unsurprised. #
  • Hey YVR folk: @stumblingmonk wants to know what kind of veggie dog Zog's in Whistler uses. Anyone know? #
  • I think @limelitePR is in Whistler right now. Jeanette, if you stop by Zogs Dogs, can you ask them what kind of veggie dog they use? #
  • RT @yoyobelly: Old and busted: Movember. New hottness? Decembeard. [You better believe it! Don't forget Febeardary too] #
  • On the bus heading to the YVR Foodbank Tweetup #
  • Good time tonight at the foodbank tweetup. Thanks to @stv and @yoyomama_van for organizing! #
  • Nice to see @stv @yoyomama_van @mojaveband @yoyobelly and meet @604homesguy @pencilneck_sw and others at the YVR Foodbank Tweetup tonight! #
  • .@SeanFunk Here's the ultimate version of 'The Chanukah Song'. You'll never believe who's singing it. #
  • .@Seanfunk Here's the ultimate version of 'The Chanukah Song'. You'll never believe who's singing it. http://bit.ly/515H0X #
  • Heading home. Hope the hills aren't too frosty and I manage to keep the rubber side down. Brrrr. #
  • Watching @rickmercer on RMR; he's on a lobster boat in the Bay of Fundy. W/o PFD or survival suit. Surprised the #CBC lets him be so risky. #
  • Food Bank Day in Vancouver. Make your way down to the reno'd CBC bldg for a tour, entertainment, + donate or call in and donate! $1 = $3! #
  • How quaint. The season of insincere cards from vendors has begun. #WastedOnMe #
  • Huh. Int'l delivery by UPS has been scanned in Hong Kong and Ontario today. Was in Fredericton yesterday. Somehow doesn't seem v efficient. #
  • Discovered very disturbing Twitter List behaviour: You don't see @'s between ppl on different lists (even tho you're following both!) #
  • This means I will have to change how I use Tweetdeck. Again. :( #
  • That's actually pretty stupid behaviour. @guy1 is in list A, @guy2 is in list B and guy1 tweets "@guy2 Hi!". It doesn't show in list A. :o #
  • That behaviour makes it impossible to follow conversations between ppl on different lists. CRAZY. #
  • Venti, venti, venti! http://bit.ly/6ar60L #
  • I bet our son can't wait until he's out of the closet. #
  • http://twitpic.com/sb5up – Out geocaching for the first time in months #
  • Ugh, both boys have another cold. This adversely affects Q's sleep "habits" to the point of calling it "sleep" is misleading. #
  • Bald eagle circling over dog park on south False Creek. Those little-bitty condo-dogs better watch out! #
  • http://twitpic.com/sg6ws – Vancouver's finest keeping the Santa Parade watchers under control #
  • At the Vancouver Santa Claus parade, near Helmcken and Howe. Ho ho ho! #
  • I've never understood the point of the radio branded SUVs in a parade… #
  • http://twitpic.com/sg8n0 – This more the stuff of parades #
  • http://twitpic.com/sg8ni – The bands never seem to play near us :( #
  • http://twitpic.com/sg9hp – Mayor Gregor waving to his … adoring … public #
  • http://twitpic.com/sgagb – Obligiatory Olympic propaganda on an INSPIRING float #
  • http://twitpic.com/sgah1 – It's TRUE! Bait cars ARE everywhere #
  • http://twitpic.com/sgb9i – What troopers, still dancing at the end of the route #
  • http://twitpic.com/sgc58 – One of the few floats. Suddenly I feel like a hot chocolate. #
  • http://twitpic.com/sgd19 – I wish Canadian high schools had marching bands. #bandgeek #
  • http://twitpic.com/sgdws – Best float so far: Worksafe BC #
  • http://twitpic.com/sgdxf – Wow this marching band is from Burnaby North #
  • http://twitpic.com/sgerc – Very cool float from the Aboriginal community #
  • http://twitpic.com/sgfph – Parades permit a level of personal contact normally frowned upon #
  • http://twitpic.com/sgfpv – Future Olympic protestors from Scouts Canada #
  • http://twitpic.com/sghj3 – This elf-yourself thing has gotten out of hand… #
  • http://twitpic.com/sgl53 – The man himsELF #
  • Home! The Canada Line staff was amazing at facilitating boarding the huge post-parade crowd on the trains (@SkyTrainLady @KenHardie ) #
  • http://twitpic.com/sgsb2 – This was the line to get to the Canada Line platform at City Centre. #
  • Thanks everyone for letting me indulge live-twitpic'ing the Santa Parade. This year Aidan really *got* it, and it was a lot of fun. #
  • RT @smuttysteff: Reminder, people, awesome reinvention of Alice in Wonderland (like Wicked is to Oz) is on TV tonight & tomorrow #
  • Let's spin the Wheel of Toddler Food and see what we'll be wearing tonight. #
  • Me: Huh, I can't reach it — my arms are too short. Her: {Gales of laughter} Me: Yeah, that's never happened before. #
  • Another Amazing Race comes to an end. An OK season this year, unhappy with the results, but the team that should have won did. #
  • Was looking at the timestamps on tweets thinking Twitter must have gone blow-hole up. Then I noticed it was after 9, not 10. #NeedsSleep #

  • RT @Twitter_Tips: MSNBC makes deal to control the 1.4M follower @BreakingNews Twitter feed: http://j.mp/7Dzawa [Well, crap.] #
  • sharing 10 private invites to threadsy! a fresh new email + facebook + twitter experience http://bit.ly/5roL4G #
  • I can't find good info. Does the Storkcraft crib recall include *all* their cribs with a drop rail? Anyone? Bueller? #
  • The Storkcraft web server is, of course, currently a blob of melted plastic and metal. #
  • I haz bacn! #
  • RT @LeftCoastMama: Blogging on Imaginative Play: Old Toy Trains http://bit.ly/5c6sqe For @ParentbyNature's #Blog2inspire contest #
  • Q has woken 3 times in the past hour. This bodes poorly for the rest of the night. G's trying to feed him back into unconsciousness. #
  • And he's awake again. A finger probe indicates perhaps he's got more teeth coming in. Odd, we're not going on vacation; his timing is off… #
  • RT @LeftCoastMama: Blogging on Imaginative Play: Old Toy Trains http://bit.ly/5c6sqe For @ParentbyNature's #Blog2inspire contest #
  • Did you hear the awful story about the guy thought to be in a coma for 20+ yrs but wasn't? Probably a fraud: http://bit.ly/5l8dww #
  • The clouds lifted enough to reveal a beautiful blanket of snow on the mountains. The Sunshine Coast looks incredible. #
  • Sigg. Melissa + Doug. Storkcraft. @peechie asks a good q: How can consumers protect themselves better. #
  • Wow, seeing quite a bit of over-reaction by parents re: crib recall. If your crib isn't broken + the rail is installed properly: SAFE! #
  • And, if you're REALLY worried about it, use some zip-straps to "lock" the rail in an "up" position. #
  • RT @brendonjwilson Fear is the default state of our society these days. People are too overloaded to engage in careful analysis of real risk #
  • RT @NanaLorraine: @AnthonyFloyd I don't know how you survived in unsafe beds, walkers etc. And your toys!! Well you all should be dead. #
  • Well, crap. Seems like my Sansa Clip up and died on me this morning. Completely bricked. #
  • The dark streets suck light // water pools hiding slick leaves // riding home at night #twaiku #
  • There is not enough chocolate in this house. #
  • Ozzy's in the audience watching DWTS. I wonder if they have someone explaining it to him during the break. #
  • Free-form jazz courtesy the 4 yr old this morning on the piano: "Three Fun Things to Do In the House" #
  • Starting my day in the middle (due to wife's Dr appt) means a tough time getting focused. Oh … shiny! #
  • How did I not know about the WMTC blog? Great writing (on politics, Canada, from US expat) See http://bit.ly/5x57pE for example. #
  • Did you catch the interview with David Suzuki and Al Gore on CBC's Q this morning? Listen here: http://bit.ly/8pG7JB #
  • Stop! … Sugar time! #
  • RT @MBels "More chocolate is better" [Truer words have never been spoken] #
  • Just watched @IcePilotsNWT with my 4 yr old son. He was absolutely riveted by the show. The things that capture his attention astonish me. #
  • Damn, forgot. DON'T feed the trolls. Oh well. #
  • To combat the chocolate deficit in this abode, I'm making chocolate fudge pudding. 140 char recipe to follow #
  • 1tbsp marg 3/4c sugar. + .5c milk. + 1c flr, 1/4t salt, 1t b.pow, 1.5tb cocoa. Spr over: .5c sug, .5c br s, 1/4c cocoa, 5/4c H2O @350, 40min #
  • Holy crap. 4 yr old up out of bed, silently standing beside me. Didn't notice until I turned and looked. Lost 5 yrs right there and then. #
  • RT @LeftCoastMama: I need comments on this post: http://bit.ly/5c6sqe Help me be a finalist for #blog2inspire from @parentbynature #
  • zOMG, they've turned Sherlock Holmes into an explosion-filled action piece. RD Jr cannot possibly save this film. #
  • I too have Google Wave invites. If anyone still doesn't have one and wants one, DM me. #
  • US journalist indignant that she was required visa, has exit req'mnts conveniently overlooks this happens at the US border all the time. #
  • She was questioned, searched, + photographed at Canadian border. Many Canadians go thru same thing except also fingerprinted to get to US! #
  • It stuck me as being nothing more than whining from an "entitled" USian. No sympathy whatsoever here. #
  • Epic pricing mistake or epic deal? French Mac Mini (Intel) for $67 at Amazon.ca http://bit.ly/4oIIwL #
  • French Mac Minis no longer available on Amazon.ca. Now let's see if they honour the price. #
  • Rarely do I agree with @Stephen_Taylor but I found his post about Amy Goodman's border problems very interesting http://bit.ly/72Xlf9 #
  • Heading downtown via Canada Line to do XMas shopping with the boys #
  • Back from multicultural chaos that is a Real Canadian Superstore on a rainy Vancouver Saturday afternoon. Grateful for beer in our fridge. #
  • Apparently I fail at basic lolspeak grammar. The plural of "lol" is "lulz" !? Somehow, I'm not too upset about it. #
  • Looking forward to Boy's Night Home tonight as @LeftCoastMama is going to the @vancouveropera tonight. Hopefully we'll have lulz. #
  • Vindication! Teh google shows my lolz handily beats the lame lulz http://bit.ly/6h62yS @colleencoplick @bradinator @rott1058 #
  • RT @iheartthatdance: Mythbusters is not only edu + funny, its reassuring. "Look! They put people as quirky + geeky as me on TV! As experts!" #
  • Q has failed the transfer from cuddling with me to his crib twice in the past 30 minutes. More than a little frustrating. Crib's too cold? #
  • Going on an hour and a half of repeated wakings. I didn't really want to do anything with my Saturday night anyway. #

  • Ouch! "Daddy you're not silly, you're just sometimes forgettable" <– he meant "forgetful" #
  • Dear lazy-web: When's the Grey Cup kickoff? #
  • A very compelling blog abt day-to-day policing in Vancouver is celebrating its one-year ann. Drop by and check it out! http://bit.ly/4PuuzS #
  • After half, who would have thought that the Roughriders would be up by two touchdowns? #GreyCup #
  • Wow I've seen an awful number of DM fails in the past few days. Is Twitter letting them through or are ppl just making mistakes? #
  • Unbelievable ending to the #GreyCup Montreal wins by 1 pt on the last play (field goal) with no time on the clock. #
  • Created a Twitter landing page ( http://www.leftcoastfloyds.net/twitter/ ) in advance of pruning out my stream. #
  • Just culled 15% of my "following" list. Thought there'd be more to purge, but most of you are pretty interesting! :) #
  • Looking at my tweetcloud w/ http://tweetstats.com/ instead of selling my soul (+ passwd), it is apparent that I have no particular agenda. #

  • Although I suspect he was more put out that an older, heavier guy on a mtn bike caught up to him after yielding to peds & cars #dumbass #
  • Wow, Wordperfect still exists? Why would someone use that over Openoffice, KOffice, Abiword, Google Docs, or any other free offering? #
  • RT @dadventure: Hey YouTube, your new parenting channel is cool and useful, but why call it "for Mom"? why not "For Parents"? #
  • An awesome post by @stv on teaching kids it's ok to make mistakes ends with the truism: Parenting is hard. http://tannock.net/?p=1934 #

  • There's no denying it now. Q is officially "walking" #
  • Trying to broaden my 4 yr old's music education. Tonight: MC Hammer. Win: Hammer dance. Fail: Chipmunks version !? #
  • DC-3s? Are you kidding me? #IcePilotsNWT #
  • So the football game is on now, 10 am. It seems a little early for beer and nachos. #BCLions #CFL #EasternFinal #
  • Mind you the way the #BCLions are playing, I'm not sure beer is going to be enough. #CFL #EasternFinal #
  • Dear #Huggies: Your EnjoyTheRewards website is broken. Won't let me in w/ Chrome, tells me to use FF. FF tells me SSL cert is borked 1/2 #
  • Then the site won't let me in w/ FF. This has been a negative experience on your dime. #Huggies #Fail 2/2 #
  • When I finally make it to the #Huggies site, I discover I can enjoy the rewards of being a Huggies MOM. You really know how to piss me off. #
  • Attention all marketers following me. If you continue to refer to me as a Mom, you continue to alienate me. Why not say "PARENT"?! #
  • Thank god that's finally over. #BCLions #CFL #EasternFinal #
  • http://twitpic.com/ql4mb – Taking Christmas pictures in front of the fire (A + Q) #
  • AMA's are on in the background while we tidy the living room. ABC is compressing the HD signal so much it looks WORSE than SD. #
  • How come MJ didn't pick up his AMA tonight? #tasteless #zombieMJ #
  • Well jeez. Whitney Houston came back from the dead to get an AMA, why didn't Michael Jackson? #tasteless #zombieWH #
  • .@raincoaster That was easy. Lots of classic radio drama at http://bit.ly/5OEUlv Time to load up my MP3 player… #
  • And when did Adam Lambert turn into Frankenfurter? #AMA #
  • The *Shadow* knows … I'm off to bed to listen to 70 yr old (!!!) radio dramas from http://bit.ly/8qkl8m #
