  • Things sure are different on Bowen Isl. Cache was published last Monday, still no finders after a week of sunshine. Letterbox hybrids scary? #
  • Dell, I’m confused. Email: “regret to inform you about delay in shipping” Status page: “Shipped”. Uh, what? #
  • RT @WhoWillLead: Who’s really behind the Iranian protests? Do we know? http://is.gd/19rVe [via @colmanjones] #
  • “Ideological and emotional agendas result in people distancing themselves from factual and analytical information, …” (1/2) #
  • “… preferring instead information that fits with their material interests and emotional disposition”” [from http://is.gd/19rVe (2/2) #
  • ls@kabutar Wow, isn’t it great that Mac/Apple have simplified things so much? Of course, you’re trying to do some off-script stuff… #
  • RT @SAlbrecht #grousegrind #6 is behind me. Slowest yet @ 54 minutes but still under my 55 minute goal. Going up on #7 now. [Way to go Seb!] #
  • Ever done the Grouse Grind? Ever done it 13 times? In one day? That’s what @Salbrecht is doing today, raising money for women’s shelters! #
  • Hmmm, @Salbrecht hasn’t tweeted recently. Does anyone know about his progress? #
  • RT @buzzbishop: just checked with @salbrecht’s crew: he’s on #9 right now, starting to cramp up in his knee, abt 45mins ahead of pace. #
  • RT @danudey: @salbrecht has ascended the Grouse Grind 12 times today, for a vertical ascent of about 10.2 kilometers. What did YOU do today? #
  • Boy #2 was cranky after being put to be late after having a cat nap on the car ride home. What finally put him to bed? Classicial music FTW! #
  • So, while @Salalbrecht was putting 11 km vertical ascent into the Grouse Grind today … was someone tagging along with him spotting him? #
  • RT @SAlbrecht: At bottom of #grousegrind getting ready to head up for #13. Wish me luck! Thanks again for all of your support. [AWESOME!] #
  • Rediscovered a few people that #twitter had magically unsubscribed me from. Grrrr…. #
  • Something’s messed up with #twitter and following. Too tired to deal with it tonight. The Vampire Baby will likely have another busy night. #

  • Need a @Dropbox account? Use my link and we’ll both get extra space! http://is.gd/18mBO Then enter their 50 GB giveaway: http://is.gd/18mu3 #
  • I’ve gotta say that I’m digging the Green Eyed Fleas’ version of Teddy Bear Picnic http://is.gd/18mUC #NotAllKidsMusicSucks #
  • RT @RobCottingham Some very smart people falling for the “Moussavi arrested” hoax. Check CNN/BBC sites be4 RTing “verified” claims! [sigh] #
  • Off to breakfast. Yummy, waffles! Happy Father’s Day to all you dads, including my own @EastCoastGranpa! #
  • It’s #geocaching O’clock! #
  • http://twitpic.com/81i2u – And once again geocaching transforms into playing at a playground! #
  • As a matter of fact, calamine lotion does nothing to alleviate Poison Oak several hours after exposure. #
  • Made some of my world-famous chocolate chip cookies for dessert. I hope they last that long :D #
  • After some research, it looks like it was stinging nettle that got me today. FWIW, calamine lotion is ineffective for that too. Ah it burns! #
  • The hell? Rogers, we *did not* accept a collect call from Las Vegas on May 11. Especially a 9 minute call that cost us $17!!! WTF? #
  • The hell? @rogershelps we *did not* accept a collect call from Las Vegas on May 11. Especially a 9 minute call that cost us $17!! Seriously? #
  • A bunch of new geocachers finding our caches! Based on the logs, a lot of them are using iPhones. Related: Log quality for these ppl < norm #

  • Good luck to all those doing the Ride to End Cancer this weekend! @gnb is (more-or-less) live tweeting it! #
  • THIS is fun. Q has become a million times more mobile in the span of 24 hours. Oh damnit, where did he go *now*?!? #
  • OH: “I think I’ve run out of double-hookers”. Yeah, I didn’t expect to hear that either. #
  • http://twitpic.com/7ybbn – Chip's not dead yet. #
  • http://twitpic.com/7yh2h – A big slide courtesy @providentmike (and a big line!) #
  • Back from Chip’s Not Dead. A actually went *in* the bouncy castle at the top, and attempted the 3-storey slide. Called it off at last minute #
  • However, now exhausted. Got some good pics of the Superhero Wave, will put a few on the blog shortly. #
  • Here are some of my photos from @chipsnotdeadyet Superhero Wave. http://bit.ly/GfYGF/ #

  • Did the iPhone touch get a spec bump too? ie video, better focus, etc? #
  • Check that, the *iPod* touch. No spec bump according to @buzzbishop. <grumble> #
  • Congratulations to @hollyburn for her 1000th #geocache find (in Halifax no less!) #
  • Loooong day. Scrambling to get some things together for the boss’ trip and then softball immed after work; had to wrangle both boys at game. #
  • I can remain silent no longer. I think the green-ing of #Twitter is bandwagoneering. It raises the awareness of Iran, but oversimplifies. #
  • There is value in raising that exposure, but it bothers me that ppl half a world a way make statements saying “so-and-so” won an election. #
  • I mean how do you know? How can you sort the chaff from the wheat on Twitter? Who do you trust? Why? How much disinformation is out there? #
  • For 12 years in YVR I’ve been working *closely* with a good # of Persians. I won’t pretend that things are great there but it’s COMPLICATED #
  • Catching some of the side conversations now. @cognescento You brought up the Israeli/Palestinian conflict? Brave or stupid, which was it? :) #
