Twitter Weekly Updates for 2009-11-02
- Ack! They changed the CBC Radio News intro music again. Jarring. #
- Rogers, Telus, Bell. Meh, no diff. They're all out to wring as much $$ from you as they can. Plenty of ppl willing to bleed $$ for iPhones. #

- 3pm and I've just finished putting out today's "fires". Now to get to Real Work. #
- 30 kph tailwind meant riding home in a vacuum. Weird feeling. And then, arrived home to quite a wild rumpus. #
- Flipped on the tube, happened to be on the opening scenes of Canada's Worst Driver (new season!). Aidan and I sat slackjawed, stunned #scary #
- Very timely, today's Sid the Science Kid was all about flu vaccinations. Coincidence or PBS as a front for Obama's propaganda machine? #
- Reality sets in; next wk we have to register Aidan for Kindergarten. At 3 diff't schools: the close Fr Imm, our catchment Fr Imm, + the Eng #
- It's silly really. How is it we're not in the catchment of the school 5 blocks away but instead we're in the one 15 blocks away? #
- Ack, new cache published less than 1km from work. No GPS, can't leave work. Le sigh. #geocaching #

- That is one big moose. http://bit.ly/2OfkFd #
- A Møøse once bit my sister … #
- Actually, I kinda miss Derby-style steaks #SteakAndStein #
- OK, that's the sixth Britney account I've blocked today. What's up with that? What do they gain by continually harassing people? #
- The more I use Dropbox the more I like it. Great way to share between comps + backup to the cloud. http://bit.ly/3drKkk gets you xtra space! #
- Everytime I hear "Zetterberg" I think … what, the Facebook guy? #
- And ANOTHER Britney follower. #Twitter needs to find some way to control this. It's un-freaking-believable. #
- RT @realreporter: Went to Women's Show at Tradex in Abbotsford? check bank account! ATM thieves were mining data. http://bit.ly/1Kdkwd #
- To be fair, that slalom challenge would be difficult for almost anyone without some training. #CWD5 #
- Just upgraded my CrossOver Linux installation to 8.0 on "It's NOT Free" Wednesday (but it's half price!) http://bit.ly/JAtFi #
- Seems like more people are getting access to Twitter Lists. I wish the apps would catch up to facilitate management of said lists. #
- It seems parts of the UK are entirely off their rocker. "Council bans parents from play areas" http://bit.ly/3xjE81 #
- DadCamp goes to the Giants' game on Nov 15th. RSVP if you're going to come! http://bit.ly/299P2z #dadcamp #
- RT @rhh: BREAKING: ZOMBIE OUTBREAK REPORTED IN TORONTO. DEVELOPING. [Oh noes! Head to the malls, it's safer there!] #
- Still trying to figure out how to get to/from U2 concert tonight. Transit's going to be a mess. Driving 2.5 km seems wrong. Taxi? #
- Problem is that it'll be 30 mins to walk to BC Place, which is too tight given our babysitter/home-from-work time constraints. #
- http://twitpic.com/nc5i2 – Made it to U2 concert. Huge friggin' set! #
- http://twitpic.com/nc9n8 – Top of #u2 set for @moneycoach. Does look like rocket, actually #
- .@seanfunk Lights still up, smoke machines started #
- BEP about to hit the stage. Later tweeps! #u2 #
- http://twitpic.com/nccci – BEP on stage, performing to typically dead YVR crowd #
- BEP put on an amazingly produed show! Crowd was a bit tepid #u2 #
- http://twitpic.com/ncjmf – Set changes to something more simple for U2. No giant lemons yet… #
- Getting old. But I'm *so* glad I've got -30db ear plugs in :) #
- And yes @leftcoastmama and I are sitting beside each other oblivious to each other's tweets #u2 #
- I feel dirty. Bono just lead us in Happy Birthday for Bill Gates! #
- http://twitpic.com/ncx76 – Walk On #
- http://twitpic.com/ncydp – Singing about a really hard to navigate city where streets lack names #
- http://twitpic.com/nd0to – Heading out; all done #u2 #
- Kudos to @cmbc and @translink the ride to and from the U2 concert was quick and painless #
- Home from #U2 concert, baby sitter driven home, cats fed. 1 yr old wide awake and crawling around the living room. Up for work in 5 hrs. Ugh #
- Both boys awake and up at 6:30 am. I had somewhere around 4 1/2 hrs sleep. Who's idea was it to have the #U2 concert on a "school night"?!? #
- It's days like these I wish I drank coffee. Hot chocolate just isn't going to cut it I'm afraid. #
- RT @Stv: Really disappointed in @mayorgregor & Vision for abandoning the electoral reform referendum election promise: http://bit.ly/1gqCpC #
- More people in the USA use "food stamps" to buy food (36M) than there are people in Canada. Tell me again which country is "socialist"? #
- Boy #1 is apparently on the couch with a fever of 101 + complaining about being cold. Perhaps vaccines didn't come out soon enough for us :( #
- RT @curiousdad: The babyproofing latches we got for the toilet and dishwasher are also mommy and daddy proof. [And what about visitors? :)] #
- RT @OnlineStrategy: Heard from Virgin Mobile rep that they will be offering the iPhone in early 2010. [All CDN carriers to offer iPhone?] #
- Snow at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic mountain venues (aka @cypressmtn) is accumulating! http://twitpic.com/neswi [via @karlwoll] #
- Well, crap. Just realized I forgot my lunch and will now be subject to the culinary whims of UBC Food Services. #
- Mobile phone competition in Canada takes a serious blow as the CRTC rules that Globallive (WIND) is non-Canadian + cannot operate in Canada #
- CRTC decision for Globalive: http://bit.ly/IgYcN [via @michaelgeist and @Mark_Goldberg] #
- RT @ShireenJ: I wonder if MSM covered deaths by car in same way as they are doing 1 death by H1N1, then would anyone get in a car again? #
- RT @Twitter_Tips: Tweetdeck soon to announce support for Twitter lists, including sharing! http://j.mp/1n0ScD [W00t!] #
- This is the most lethargic I've ever seen Aidan. Usually when he's sick, he's still high energy. Not no; laying watching HSM2 w/ LCM #
- One of the best summations of my feelings about vaccinations written by someone else (@alexishinde) http://bit.ly/OcSYu #
- Boy was bit better today, more energetic and actually eating things. Still feverish, tho' — no preschool Hallowe'en party for him :( #
- Another excellent post on why you should get at least your children vaccinated http://bit.ly/24dhu0 (via @curiousdad) #
- RT @Scobleizer: You CAN remove yourself from lists. Just block the person who made the offensive list. #
- All this enthusiasm about the Olympic Torch relay is turning me off. Will every minute of the next 104 days be tweeted? #
- One thing the antivaxxers never address is their complicity in spreading preventable diseases. Where is social responsibility? #
- RT @FakeAPStylebook: When there's no more room in Hell, omit the final paragraphs to save space. [Wait, I thought this acct was *fake* ?!?] #
- Interesting, meatloaf *muffins* for supper. #
- Vampire baby awakes for his 11pm feeding. Can't wait until all the fangs are completely in. #
- Installed Ubuntu 9.10 UNR on my Eee 901, works great other than the lack of sound. I don't need to hear that Pavlovian tweet anyway. #
- http://twitpic.com/nqn3o – I don't know why a garbage truck is scary, but that's what Aidan wanted … #dadcamp #halloween #
- http://twitpic.com/nsnvu – Out Trick or Treating at False Creek #
- http://twitpic.com/nsp8u – Trick or Treating at False Creek #
- Aidan Trick-or-Treated as an elephant … with fairy wings. #
- Listening to the Hallowe'en fireworks and wondering how busy the emerg must be. #
- Someone replaced my 4 yr old's attitude with a 13 yr old's. This does not bode well for today … or for 2018. #
- 4 yr old still behaving like … well, a 4 yr old I guess. We'll take the bus to get our hair cuts instead of driving to make an adventure. #
- Either our moods will both improve … or child services will be involved. #
- Many thanks to my father @EastCoastGranpa for being an enabler and feeding my addiction. #12: 766 pages. Two more volumes to go! #WOT #
- At the moment I'm on 17 "Vancouver" lists (10 of which identify as YVR). I have one too. I wonder if this is an efficient use of our time. #
- Irony: Choosing sofa over bed due to coughing wife and toddler … and then not being able to get to sleep. #
