  • Name your price and help charity and get eight fantastic books in the first ever Humble eBook Bundle! http://t.co/W2wJoozT via @humble #
  • I'm amused by the fact that @MarsCuriosity has been distracted by a shiny object. Also, I'm easily amused. #
  • Personal hotspot + 6 GB plan + Netflix + iPad = Painless waiting for end of 7 yr old's swimming lesson w/ almost-4 yr old. #
  • Why, oh why put the slowest cashier on an express lane? #grocerystorelanekarma #
  • Really Montreal? Does a 4.5 even count as an earthquake? Are you sure it wasn't just Mitsou rocking Place des Arts? #
  • Montreal 'quake' downgraded to a 3.9. http://t.co/M45Yl1q5 Seriously, you _felt_ that? #
  • Narrowly avoided disaster on ride to work this morning: nearly plowed into a skunk sauntering across the road. #bikeyvr #

  • Ah, global commerce. The joys of telecons with Europe: watching sunrises from our conference room. #
  • !! RT @LindsayTedds: @Mommyoutside @buzzbishop Target immunization rate for <2yrs based on WHO guidelines=97%. Actual [BC] rate is 66.5%. #
  • Follow-up: here's where those depressing BC immunization stats come from: http://t.co/9H5JIIgS Really? 68% !? #
  • Ha. Kits blog reader takes me to task for linking to Translink CVG site where he claims PDF of route crashes his browser. Uh, sure buddy. #
  • Just checked the forecast. Gale-force winds in the morning; I guess I'll hoist the jib before riding to work. #bikeyvr #
  • That was an interesting ride to work. Grateful for the MTB today. Watch out for tree debris! #bikeyvr #
  • Dear cyclist who stopped at 2-way stop but WITH right-of-way to allow stopped car to cross: YOU'RE NOT HELPING. #bikeYVR #

  • Ok everyone, relax. They found the maple syrup! http://t.co/pKQ65W2D (h/t @alexishinde) #syrupocolypse #nationalsyrupreserve #
  • So GFAJ-1 (#arseniclife) doesn't survive on arsenic after all, but is VERY good at filtering it out http://t.co/yulOEA2I (via @carlzimmer) #
  • You know what I love? When motorists get out of cars in the middle of intersections to threaten me. That's awesome. #bikeYVR #
  • Related: @CityofVancouver The Off-Broadway intersection at Pine/7th needs serious improvement. Always cars running N/S stop sign. #bikeYVR #
  • Note to self: Air horn needs to be pumped up. #airzound #bikeYVR #
  • OK, it was the passenger that got out, then thought better of it, but still. #bikeYVR #
  • Dear Driver of BC 907 TEN: That's a stop sign. And tell your passenger to get back in the car. #asshat #bike http://t.co/7MieC3Lo #
  • Also, driver of BC 398 CEP thanks for blowing your stop sign. At least you didn't stop and yell at me. #bike http://t.co/KiZzMBUO #
  • RT @dbarefoot: The new SimCity looks pretty amazing: http://t.co/RFydEHaP cc: @AidanFloyd #

  • RT @alexwarrior: SUV passenger threw an egg at my colleague while he was #bikeyvr #039;ing. He got the police and they caught him. #
  • I've had things thrown at me while biking: soft drink fr p/u truck while riding near Victoria Int'l airport, waterballoon from kids in Kits #
  • Yet another commit log that includes "Not sure how it ever worked." This is confidence-building. #
  • Are we to the point yet where we can assume ALL Canadian beef products from the past 6 weeks have been recalled? #xlfoods #
  • Filed under "Always keep 'em guessing": Q still isn't up (7:30) after a full week of getting up no later than 5:45am. Blerg. #
  • Hmmm, @aidanfloyd was enjoying Harry Potter & The Order of the Phoenix right up to the point that his favourite character was killed off. #
  • Beginning preliminary planning for XMas vacation. Airfare for 4 from Vancouver to Halifax? $5400. Le sigh. #
  • .@Adam_in_NYC Sure is. SEA -> YHZ $3150. Cheapest I can find YVR -> YHZ is $4600. Wow. #

  • .@CBCStephenQuinn It seems that a person's "music's best decade opinion" is that when they were teens. I'm no different. #childofthe80s #
  • The G&M's response to the Wente plagiarism accusations smacks of "We're sorry she got caught." #
  • The last Wente column I'll read RT @somecanuckchick: Columnist Margaret Wente defends herself: http://t.co/6h9UvpPD #cdnpoli #
  • That Wente "apology" missed the mark on so many things, and contained so much spin that I expect her next job will be a PMSH spokesperson. #
  • The Tyee looks at the Wente affair and finds the G&M wanting http://t.co/ZQQPYJeV #
  • CBC's "Q" decides Wente has no place commenting on journalism ethics, "suspends its relationship" http://t.co/KQ2hVBS3 (via @SusanDelacourt) #
  • Dear #UBC The Agronomy/Wesbrook intersection sucks, and it's getting worse: http://t.co/EKGospLN cc: @vancouver_adam #bikeyvr #
  • C'est moi, c'est toi, c'est nous, et c'est cool! C'est long, c'est dur, frappons nos têtes contre les murs #mwoh #
  • .@ianamartin and @604heather at tonight's #otctu http://t.co/tOtnpMmK #
  • Not sure why I bothered to show up to "Meet The Teacher" night on time … #
  • I brought homework home from “Meet the Teacher” night – which @gwenfloyd is doing for me. I feel somewhat guilty. #
  • Say what? Replacing the Massey Tunnel? Another 10-lane bridge forthcoming? Move the bottleneck to Oak Street? Make Oak St 10 lanes! #yvr #
  • Slick riding out there, particularly over manhole covers. #bikeyvr #letyourbackboneslide #
  • The nice thing about getting into work at 6am, other than getting to talk with Frenchmen, is getting home early in the afternoon. #
  • RT @sfslim: What happens when a car drives into a bicycle (while said bicycle is locked to a parking meter) http://t.co/cyV5Etf5 #
  • Not a popper in sight. @ Vancouver Aquarium http://t.co/GtvGyuq5 #

  • Oh noes! No more beavertails at Lonsdale Quay! #fwp #
  • Dramatic skyline is dramatic #yvr http://t.co/bGVJGll2 #
  • Twitter tells us that tights are not pants, but based on only a few minutes in Pacific Centre, not everyone got the Tweet. #
  • All the cool people in #yvr seem to be at the @amandapalmer gig. They’re all going to be pretty disappointed they missed this Dr Who finale. #
  • Why did no one tell me how awesome Super 8 was? Nothing like I expected; much, much better! #
  • Science World and the Olympic Village #latergram #yvr #inthevillage #explorebc #beautifulbc http://t.co/8ca88mYG #
  • My drill's battery charged died. I have a drill-shaped hammer. #
  • Anybody in Vancouver seeing aurora tonight? #

  • Protracted willful defiance. All. Weekend. Long. I can't wait for "three" to be over. Four will be better, right? #
  • Sign of how just easy Python is: rather than writing on the whiteboard in pseudocode, it's all proper #Python #
  • Oh hello Monday night. Beavers starts again. #
  • Swimming lessons tonight at Hillcrest. Nice pool, needs an observation d @ Aquatic Centre at Hillcrest Park http://t.co/cf7dAQsf #
  • “@buzzbishop: the coolest video you will see all day. time lapse from a cockpit http://t.co/3dYhgSiI” #b737 800 #aeroporn #
  • Ok, I just lost 20 mins on today’s @xkcd and it just keeps going…. #
  • There is a plane flying over UBC proclaiming CUPE Local 116 is celebrating 70 years at UBC. That's great use of union dues, right? #
  • Way to fight for the rights of those who can't … by hiring a plane to burn gas and tow an expensive banner for hours at end. #
  • Right off, no never ever, never ever! #
  • Goddamn! Look to the freaking LEFT at least once before blowing through a traffic circle! #asshats #bikeyvr #
  • It's been two nights in a row at the same traffic circle that a speeding car hasn't looked left AT ALL and nearly t-boned me. #bikeYVR #
  • I understand looking at making the Granville Bridge friendlier for cyclists/pedestrians, but the Cambie Bridge? Already there. #bikeyvr #
  • Was there a big wind storm last night? Many leaves littering the bike route this morning. #bikeYVR #yvrwx #
  • International business is fun, but seeing "Floyd-san" in an email is weird. #
  • The terrifying blue sky of the past 3 months has been replaced with a comfortingly-familiar fuzzy grey. #winteriscoming #
  • Given @LisachristCBC's influence on #OTC I bet they're just *itching* to play this rock mashup of CRJ's song http://t.co/JfVA4vF4 (mp3) #
  • G&M's "public editor" brushes aside examples of plagiarism by Wente, dismisses UofO prof as "anonymous blogger" http://t.co/SzwaLGKI #
  • “@dgardner: "I find it astonishing that it does not deal with the almost identical Dan Gardner paragraph…" Me, too. http://t.co/2BR84Bo6” #
  • Aidan took the "Luke, I am your father" thing in stride, but Quinlan was all like "Darth Vader is his Daddy!?" #
  • :Flicker: <buzz buzz> Pop! :Flicker: /emission of magic smoke/ Fortunately that was just a CFL burning out and not something more serious. #
  • Anyone know the hazmat team’s number? #cfl #
  • Just watched last week’s Flashpoint. Best hour of TV on Canadian airwaves, bar none. #
