  • It's the silly season again. Why does tax money keep going to people who insist on living on flood plains? Every single year. #
  • Brutal 8.5 hr meeting. What did I miss? #
  • Unbelievable. Imagine Layton as minority coalition PM! #cdnpoli #elxn41 #
  • Just back from biz dinner at Sawassee Thai. Long day. Round 2 tomorrow. Be awesome to each other, mm'k? #
  • Susan Allan from @iPoliticsca is predicting doom & gloom for Hedy Fry in Vcr-Centre b/c leader is visiting in last week of #elxn41 #cdnpoli #
  • I don't see who would be competitive against her, though. The other candidates have been largely invisible. #vanctr #cdnpoli #elxn41 #
  • A few days ago, I predicted Harper OR Ignatieff would quit some time after #elxn41 depending who wasn't PM. Didn't think it might be BOTH! #
  • Huzahh! #
  • Apparently we won't be Tweeting the #canucks game tonight as Twitter seems constipated. #
  • After a few outstanding shifts, Kessler gets his bell rung by the puck. Great energy tonight! #canucks #
  • Dear #Canuck goalies. I don't care. Stay on the blue ice, please. Please? #
  • Really #LPC Layton and Harper as two sides of the same coin? Uh, out of touch much? #cdnpoli #elxn41 #watchingadsduringhockeygamesucks #
  • Great PK by the #canucks followed by a near-fatal giveaway by Luongo. Stressful! #
  • Wow. Just, wow. The Blackhawks are incredibly lucky to come out of that period only down by one. Crawford's been holding them in! #canucks #
  • Protecting a 1 goal lead in game 7 with 6 minutes left? Doesn't seem like a great idea. #canucks #
  • Burrows. Kesler. #keepers #canucks #
  • Sigh. #
  • Heh, you foul-mouthed Vancouverites. My tweet stream is rather coarse right now. The most creative of you only pulled out "Merde" :) #
  • Are. You. Kidding. Me!? #
  • BURROWS! #
  • I guess we can forgive the holding penalty, then, huh? #burrows #bygones #canucks #
  • Wipe the slate clean, put it all behind. Bring on Nashville. #canucks #
  • Noisy here in normally quiet Fairview Slopes. Fans on Broadway, or carrying across False Creek? #canucks #
  • It's a "Surprise! You're going to Seattle" kind of day. #
  • Ok, so I took all your advice. 60 min line at peace arch, sameish at truck xing. I'm at Aldergrove now, huge line, back almost to 8th! #
  • So, do I go to Abbotsford? @seanfunk @SlvrLambStudios #
  • Almost back to Canada. 10 hrs driving, waiting, 1.5 hr meeting. Hope YOU enjoyed your day! #
  • :facepalm: Crap, missed an important telecon. This week has been "one of those weeks" at work. #
  • Argh. The foolish anti-science lobby is at it again. BAN HAZARDOUS WIFI IN BC SCHOOLS! http://t.co/EiF6crJ Gah. http://plixi.com/p/96614366 #
  • The anti-wifi crowd is utterly stupefying. WiFi is ubiquitous in major population centres with no corresponding increase in illness. #
  • .@IanAMartin At my home, there are 16 wifi networks within range of my laptop. At work, there are 10. I think we're all pretty saturated. #
  • According to @308dotcom, Vancouver-Centre is projected CPC 23%/LPC 38%/NDP 22%/GPC 16%/Other 2% #cdnpoli #elxn41 #
  • As it comes time to choose who I'm going to vote for, the fact that the CPC isn't anywhere near likely to win the seat will come into play. #
  • #LPC can't have #elxn41 soon enough RT @308dotcom: If the NDP is going to plateau, it hasn't happened yet: http://tinyurl.com/3zlb966 #
  • Floating this: @M_Ignatieff has said he won't form coalition w/ @jacklayton. Has anyone asked @bobraetoronto if *he* would? #cdnpoli #elxn41 #
  • I mean, if things are going to go as badly for the #LPC as the polls say, Ignatieff might not be around for much longer. #cdnpoli #elxn41 #
  • And if Ignatieff is out, who might step up? And would they be friendlier to cooperation with an invigorated #NDP #cdnpoli #elxn41 #
  • Ah yes. It's another "make up penalties to try to even the score" night in the #NHL playoffs. #
  • According to the NHL rules, clipping occurs when someone is checked below THEIR KNEES. That is some funky stretch to hip check below knees! #
  • Someone needs to give the ref a refresher course: here's what clipping should be http://bit.ly/iyiUuJ #canucks #
  • .@pattibacchus Hopefully you're treating it with the disdain that it deserves. The "wifi makes kids sick" idea is utter antiscience. #
  • .@pattibacchus The fact that it is getting any press is a reflection of the ongoing fear-mongering in society. #
  • .@pattibacchus See http://bit.ly/mbMJLU for example. The same "autism caused by vaccines" hysteria is behind the "wifi sickness" hysteria. #
  • And Friday throws complete failure of our VOIP system. Awesomesauce. #
  • Does anyone have a small-business oriented Asterisk support company that they can recommend in Vancouver? #
  • Ender's Game to be made into a live-action movie: http://bit.ly/iWTTbS #
  • The Postmedia (canada.com) websites' article pages still don't render properly for me with Chrome. I hate clicking those links. #
  • Which sounds obscure, but it includes the two local papers, the Vancouver Sun and The Province. #
  • Flipped through some pics of the Royal Wedding on my lunch break. I think Kate missed a big opportunity in not driving the Aston-Martin away #
  • Dear fellow Canadians: There is a world of difference btw NDP led "collaborative" gov't vs NDP majority. Chillax, ok? #cdnpoli #elxn41 #
  • In the end, if the NDP try to do crazy things with the budget, guess what? The Libs, Cons, and BQ will vote them down. #cdnpoli #elxn41 #
  • Like board games? @drexollgames is closing their Poco store, and starting Saturday are having a sale to get rid of stock. #
  • These polls are getting pretty outrageous. #CPC 38/#NDP 33/#LPC 18 !? Is this an orange tide, or are the pollsters getting snowed? #elxn41 #
  • .@acourtroom Desperation, of course. And a lack of any common decency. Contempt, even #
  • The next time ConBots complain about a left-wing media bias, point out that major papers' editorial boards are calling for CPC maj #elxn41 #
  • To express my unhappiness at GAM & VanSun calls for a #CPC majority I'm going to cancel my sub's. Oh wait. Passed into obsolescence yrs ago. #
  • .@buzzbishop Who is the target for media endorsements? Who is reading a newspaper's editorials and doesn't know who they're supporting? #
  • Sand pile at the Ocean Concrete open house @ Granville Island http://instagr.am/p/Dtlfz/ #
  • Chaos now at Ocean Concrete. Somehow in the crowd, ran into @CBCStephenQuinn and the lovely @marshalederman #
  • Back home from @granville_isle to put the 2 yr old down for a nap. Great weather for Ocean Concrete's open house! Lots of ppl on the Island. #
  • Got a robo-call from the Hedy Fry campaign. Claims race in Van-Centre is close and needs every vote she can to avoid #CPC win. #elxn41 #
  • Now THIS is very interesting: Will #GPC Adrienne Carr win in Van-Centre? http://bit.ly/ln4P03 #elxn41bc #cdnpoli (h/t @kulpreetsingh) #
  • Changing my Tweetdeck filter from "#UFC" to "UFC". Oy. Vey. #
  • Dear Canucks: When does protecting a one-goal lead ever pan out for you? Let alone protecting it for 30 minuted. :facepalm: #
  • And the Canucks find offense in the last 30 seconds of the game. Where did that come from? At least they're well-rested for overtime. #
  • Wow. Vancouver sure has a knack at finding the red-hot opposing goalies. Two series in a row they've faced superstar goalies! #
  • .@petermansbridge is a two-finger typer? Well, that kinda bursts that bubble, doesn't it? #onlywatchadsduringsportsevents #
  • Are. You Kidding. Me!? #canucks #rinne #
  • Enough about the audience, what about the opera? RT @LeftCoastMama: 3rd act: the dresses are beautiful. Loved the couple in drag. #
  • #elxn41 and the rules of engagement : http://t.co/RmoraNo #
  • First of May, first of May. Outdoor loving starts today. #SanitizedForSensitiveEyes Watch out for randy squirrels and robins. #joco #
  • In case you missed it last night: #elxn41 and the rules of engagement http://t.co/RmoraNo #cdnpoli #
  • The rumoured #GPG #LPC horse race in VanCentre is having what is probably its intended effect. People are talking about voting GPC #elxn41bc #
  • Seriously. The Anyone But Conservative crowd seems to think that if the #CPC has no chance, a #GPC is not dangerous #vanctr #elxn41bc #
  • Escalating "stay in the bed!" war with the toddler: Removing all the stuffies, threatening to throw them out if he doesn't stay in the bed. #
  • Osama bin Laden dead. So? Does it make any difference? At all? #
  • With the "bin Laden" boogeyman gone, now who will the US hold up to drive fear and uncertainty into its population? #
  • This is an awfully — academic — and rational speech. Where's the BOO-YAH? #
  • "Waiting for Harper to speak" Really? What of importance does our lame duck PM have to say about this? #
  • Scenes of people cheering OBL's death. The similarity to other scenes of mobs cheering death is striking. #
  • Fox News reporting "Obama bin Laden" killed http://t.co/GgsypJG Seriously!? (h/t @sarahspain via @gnb) #
  • Everyone, shush. PM Stephen Harper is speaking! #

  • I will note that "minus 40 below zero" is nonsensical. What is "minus 40 above zero"? #NWTForADay #cdnpoli #
  • The Cons and Harper fear-mongering over Quebec separation is insulting. It reeks of desperation. #cdnpoli #elxn41 #
  • Adrian Dix on HST on CBC Radio: In favour of returning to PST. Rick Cluff: What about the costs of returning? AD: Don't care, need PST. #
  • At no time does Adrian Dix say why a return to the PST makes sense. Do you know why? Because it makes NO SENSE. #bcpoli #
  • Now we're subjected to #LPC attack ads. Time for Canadians to rise up + show we will not be terrorized by our politicians! #cdpoli #elxn41 #
  • Raffi (@Raffi_RC) wants youth to VOTE http://bit.ly/evjmwk #cdnpoli #elxn41 #
  • Decided to see what all the #suntv fuss was all about. 1st I had to enter our TV's "kid filter" PIN. Then subjected to CLR commercial. Bleh. #
  • This was a triumph. I'm making a note here, huge success. #
  • The kids are currently watching "Shalom Sesame: It's Passover, Grover!". Will it be followed by "How to Survive a Zombie Uprising"? #
  • Anyone notice how the solid … uh … cocoa lapine confections … are 20% lighter now? 350g instead of 454g! #
  • It's that weird transition time of year when I need to bring full rain gear, cool weather gear, + shorts to deal w/ weather on my commute. #
  • Server which wouldn't come to life yesterday at all started today first try. This, kids, is why you should never turn off your servers. #
  • Pamela Wallin whines that @M_Ignatieff is getting more press. If it's true, perhaps her guy should, I dunno, answer questions? #cdnpoli #
  • Are the #LPC getting more media coverage? You be the judge: http://bit.ly/iaFu0G (Hint, not even close) #cdnpoli #elxn41 #
  • If Harper continues to insist that the party with the most votes *is* the gov't, w/o a majority, let's have a country-wide runoff! #cdnpoli #
  • Little boy pee on a hotel duvet cannot be cleaned? That's what @alexishinde was told: http://bit.ly/dQ2eh2 #parenting #worsethingsthanpee #
  • Stand back, I'm doing science! Aperature Science, that is. #
  • Portal 2 does many things well. Great writing, great game mechanics, and that "one more turn"ness that the Civ games have. #
  • Epic meeting was epic. #
  • Listening to Vancity Councilor Anton on #OTC I … uh … can't quite follow her logic. @CBCStephenQuinn #
  • Waiting in breathless anticipation of the new, trendy, "Quinn" haircut. Look out Bieber! @CBCStephenQuinn #OTC #
  • Good job @JeffProbst in diffusing an explosive, emotional situation at Tribal Council tonight. Wow. #
  • Yet another #CPC candidate (Ronald Leung) doesn't show up to all-candidates (Burnaby-Douglas) meeting: On CBC Radio 1 this morning. #cdnpoli #
  • Aggravating when a "big" company makes an its/it's error in its product literature. Even worse when it's co fr an English-speaking country. #
  • Cloud apps vs desktop apps: what happens when the cloud crashes? #TeamDesktopApps #EC2 #hootsuite #
  • Sometimes … your heart breaks for strangers @penmachine http://bit.ly/fkqeIR #
  • Not sure where we'd put a 70" TV in our shoebox condo, let alone have a reasonable viewing dist. Wouldn't be able to get it up the stairs! #
  • I don't understand what everyone's fretting about. We're only down by a field goal, right? #canucks #
  • All kidding aside, if the #Canucks can recover in game 6, or game 7 even, this will be an excellent "learning" experience for them. #
  • Of course, if they don't it's going to be a huge monkey on their back for the next decade. Or two. #
  • My vet friend currently living in KC is terrified of cougars but ok with tornadoes. Go figure. Cougar near Victoria, BC http://bit.ly/eIzt4B #
  • Are you kidding me!? RT @kitsilano: Kitsilano house goes for $655,000 over asking price http://bit.ly/gYK3Dq #
  • Looking forward to a nice, quiet, PRODUCTIVE day at work. #
  • Yowza, lots of caches getting published this morning! Wizard of Ooze is busy. #geocaching #
  • Related: has mtn-man retired? Haven't seen any caches published by him for quite some time. #geocaching #
  • One of the Seattle Zoo's "homeless" Orangutans from last weekend http://instagr.am/p/DdRO0/ #
  • Operation "Big Boy Bed Transition" has begun. I think Q has been taking lessons from The Imp cc: @alexishinde #GonnaBeALongNight #
  • First night in big boy bed wasn't too awful. 2+ hrs to get him to sleep. Turns out he spent some time trying to read to his sleeping brother #
  • The kids ALWAYS know when we've had a late night. Q got up out of bed at 3, slept in our bed around 4ish. Aidan up at 6:30. Ugh. #zombiedad #
  • Are. You. Kidding. Me!? #Canucks #StupidRefs #
  • After keeping the #Canucks in the period, Schneider makes a rookie mistake and now we're tied at 2. #
  • Nevermind chocolate, today was all about a late bday present for this guy! http://instagr.am/p/Dhaeb/ #
  • Are. You. Kidding. Me!? #StupidRefs #Canucks That wasn't tripping. #DIVE #
  • Argh. #
  • So, stick to the face ISN'T a penalty!? What the hell, refs? This is why people complain about the officiating. #canucks #
  • Why the hell aren't visors MANDATORY yet? #NHL #canucks #preventable #
  • At one point in the last 30 s, there were more bodies on the ice than on skates. #canucks #endof3rdscramble #

  • For today's example of How Real People Should Not Use Twitter, I present to you: @lamarche #
  • Can't wait for the @InfoAlerteBot notice about how @M_Ignatieff doesn't support the Navy (re: "drunken sailors" quote) #cdnpoli #
  • Sigh. Debug cycle period on this particular problem is about 5 minutes. I utterly lose focus between each iteration. #
  • Apparently the last person to use this mouse decided it needed a sugary coating. Very hard to clean a scroll wheel, didja know? #
  • Just finished editing Aidan's video review of @CarouselTheatre's Pharaoh Serket. Will be available in the am. Must sleep now. #
  • Frightening video: Air France A380 clips Comair CRJ 700 while taxiing at JFK Airport last night http://bit.ly/gyik0s #
  • Look for cheap Flip video cameras soon: Cisco Kills Flip Video, iPhone 4 is Likely Murder Weapon http://bit.ly/fIi3k9 #
  • Frankly, I think that the Flip is much better suited for home video than an iPhone. Replaceable batteries, tripod mount, dedicated storage. #
  • Aidan's video review of @CarouselTheatre's "Pharaoh Serket and the Lost Stone of Fire" is up! http://youtu.be/QYOvAp6WH3Y #
  • Boo! The Museum of Flight didn't get one of the Space Shuttles. #
  • Discovery goes to Smithsonian in DC, Endeavour goes to Cali Sci Center in LA, Atlantis stays at Cape Canaveral. Enterprise goes to NYC. Boo! #
  • As a consolation prize, the Museum of Flight gets the full-size space shuttle trainer currently at JSC. #
  • Shouldn't press coverage of the gov't be completely independent of the gov't? Not according to Harper: http://bit.ly/ffMe7V (via @gmarkham) #
  • Hey, that was @andrea_coutu on #OTC Good job! #
  • Oh @GillesDuceppe, how about fronting a national (and nationalist) party? Please? #db8 #cdnpoli #
  • I'm listening to the #cdnpoli #db8 on CBC Radio. Can someone describe the cave that they're debating in, please? #TheresAnEchoEchoEcho #
  • .@jacklayton Sounds like he genuinely misses the "old" Steven Harper. Awww. #db8 #cdnpoli #
  • Gave up on the radio feed. The CBC video feed is pretty good. Also, given up on pretense of working. Off the clock for now. #
  • The confused brows and smirk on Ignatieff are not very … appealing … as he argues with Layton. #db8 #cdnpoli #elxn41 #
  • Ack! CBC page auto-refreshed. Lost the #db8 video feed, had to sit through another ad. Not cool, CBC, not cool. #cdnpoli #
  • Or me! RT @loxyisme: These "Canadians" that Harper keeps talking about…. are not me. #db8 #elxn41 #
  • Hearing Harper say he's a defender of democracy, freedom of information, human rights is sickening. Why aren't his eyes glowing red? #db8 #
  • And Ignatieff stumbles on his response. Surprising. Not on his game, not focused. This is not the #db8 he needed. #cdnpoli #elxn41 #
  • Harper: "Contempt motion? That wasn't contempt! The opposition just doesn't like us!" #db8 #cdnelxn #contempt #
  • Dear CBC: The auto-refresh of your debate page kills the video. So goddamn frustrating. Just so we must watch ad!? #cdnpoli #db8 #
  • Harper defends "contempt" by saying "We did everything you asked, you moved the goal posts!" He doesn't get it, does he? #db8 #cdnpoli #
  • .@M_Ignatieff scores good points on Harper's contempt for Parliament and contempt for Canadian democracy. #db8 #cdnpoli #
  • Jack and Gilles hammering Harper on the coalition letter of 2008. Scoring big points. Harper looks foolish. #db8 #cdnpoli #elxn41 #
  • Dear Harper: You are fundamentally wrong. If the House has no confidence in you, they legally and MORALLY have the RIGHT to form gov't. #db8 #
  • Harper's out right lying about the fundamentals of how the Canadian democracy works is embarrassing. It is angering. #db8 #cdnpoli #elxn41 #
  • And another CBC page auto-refresh. GOD DAMNIT. #
  • Ha! @jacklayton just introduced "hashtag fail" into the parlance of Canadian politics. #db8 #cdnpoli #elxn41 #
  • Harper now telling @GillesDuceppe that he knows Quebecers better than he does. HASHTAG FAIL. #db8 #cdnpoli #elxn41 #
  • Harper's focus on the opinions of one person astounds me. One Con candidate, former cop, against gun registry, yet all police chiefs support #
  • It's taken 1h45 for someone to point out that Harper's platform isn't for NOW, but 5 yrs in the future!? #db8 #cdnpoli #elxn41 #
  • .@jacklayton Claims 13 yrs of Liberal failures followed by 5 yrs of Con failures. Then goes into car salesman mode. Ugh. #db8 #cdnpoli #
  • Harper: Like to thank Cdns for being *their* Prime Minister. How very inclusive, eh? #db8 #cdnpoli #elxn41 #
  • Time to ride home. You had better believe that I'm going to keep an eye out for unregistered ducks. #db8 #cdnpoli #elxn41 #
  • Canada is such a diverse country. Look at our election debate! 7 Qs asked by Caucasian "average" folks to 4 Caucasian old guys #db8 #cdnpoli #
  • For the night time crowd: Aidan's video review of Pharaoh Serket http://youtu.be/QYOvAp6WH3Y In short: exciting, scary, funny. #
  • Sounds like pundits are saying @jacklayton scored with the #db8 Good news for the NDP … and the Cons. Argh. #cdnpoli #leftsplit #
  • Want a succinct summary of last night's debate and the election to date? See @acoyne's piece: http://bit.ly/dS7wHJ #cdnpoli #elxn41 #
  • Enjoyed @steveler's post (http://bit.ly/fJ9bLA ) about taking his 5 yo to Paris. Must remember to build-in playtime for our summer roadtrip! #
  • Vcr-Point Grey provincial by-election on May 11th, 9 days after federal election. Will voters get angry about overlapping campaigns? #bcpoli #
  • Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes today! The rain held off for my rides, and my sons and wife sang me Happy Birthday. Ahhhhh. #
  • The playoffs always confuse me. Should I progressively trim my beard in a reverse playoff beard? Or just let it get bushier? #
  • Chilly, but expectedly-awesome ride in this morning. Sunshine when rain was predicted! YVR weather continues to elude the forecasters. #
  • Noted on my commute this morning: #CPC candidate Deborah Meredith's prominent, large sign utterly destroyed. Childishness. #cdnpoli #elxn41 #
  • Only the Cons would believe that voting is detrimental to their cause. Interfering w/ voting should be punished swiftly and harshly #cdnpoli #
  • Riddle me this: why do all the #cdnpoli Twitter trolls support the Cons? I never get "abuse" from #LPC #NDP #BQ #PPC supporters #exln41 #
  • It amuses me when ppl make estimates to 6 significant digits. VPD "estimate" $648,271 to police Stanley Cup playoffs. Really? Not $650,000? #
  • OK, how about we try this "sleep" thing again, huh? #
  • This, *THIS*, is why we never gave the kids any more than a few minutes' warning when heading east. The excitement is almost UNBEARABLE. #
  • The idea of students voting is absolutely TERRIFYING to the Cons. Good. Have your say! Stop the madness. #cdnpoli #elxn41 #
  • RT @joshlavoie: Elections Canada to CPC: Cry all you want, the votes COUNT. http://bit.ly/g7IuM1 #elxn41 #cdnpoli #
  • I love the Elections Canada tag line: "Vote. Shape your world." #cdnpoli #elxn41 #
  • There should be a "Cars with antsy kids" line at the border. Good times. #
  • Endless daffodils in Mt Vernon http://instagr.am/p/DL68V/ #
  • Electric flowers in Mt Vernon http://instagr.am/p/DL7L_/ #
  • First time Q has been in a bed he can get up from at will. He's exercising that option. A lot. 8 times in 10 min so far. #
  • Ok, I think at least the 6 yr old is asleep. #
  • Thanks @joshlavoie and @erinlouise for the aquarium Groupon, we all had a blast! http://campl.us/Veb #
  • The Children's Museum in Seattle is fun! http://campl.us/Vj9 #
  • The Children's Museum even has a play theatre where the kids can change the backdrops and control the lights! http://campl.us/VkK #
  • Lesson being learned the hard way: Don't mess with the toddler's routine. Also? Many new things are exciting, but over-stimulating #truth #
  • These are lessons already learned but easily forgotten. Le sigh. #
  • 10:30. Both boys finally asleep. Now to reheat the food from the Cheesecake Factory that we didn't get to touch yet. At all. #
  • The Seattle Zoo is home of a population of homeless orangutans, all huddled under burlap bags. Uh, weird. http://campl.us/VQM #
  • Truck crossing backed up to the lights. At least it won't be a many-hours wait. #
  • Also, within 3G range, so it's not all bad. Kids are awake, hungry, tired. It's *a little* bad. #
  • 1 hr in border line up and the GPS just advised: "Traffic ahead.". Uh, do you think!? #
  • Home. I don't think getting home was *quite* the happiest part of the trip for the boys, but they were pretty darned happy. #
  • Catching up on news. Some one please explain to me why Stephen Harper wants to buy stealth fighters without engines!? #cdnpoli #
  • I mean, they're certainly much quieter without engines, but considerably less effective. #flylikerocks #

  • Harper says the long gun registry treats gun owners like criminals. Hum. I have a driver's license, a marriage license. I feel so badass. #
  • Bruce Carson, convicted criminal was PM's trusted advisor while Helena Guergis, exonerated MP, was kicked out of caucus. Huh? #wtf #cdnpoli #
  • This fucker went the wrong way thru a roundabout, stopped w me on his bumper and proceeded to fucking PUSH me w van! http://campl.us/PlL #
  • He then had the balls to complain about me yelling, swearing and pounding on his van. Jeez, do you think!? What the fuck is wrong with ppl? #
  • .@findchico VPD only responds to these incidents if there's an additional witness. One did stop but drove off when apparent I was OK #
  • .@juicybath No he knew. We had a discussion after that slowly became civil. He admitted fault, was contrite. Doesn't change facts. #
  • Don't be an asshat. I blogged about being hit by a driver who went the wrong way through a traffic circle: http://bit.ly/gCBtu3 #bike #yvr #

  • Epic discussion of state of traffic control devices + how cyclists & motorists deal with them w/ the 3 bike commuters in the office this AM. #
  • We've got some concrete opinions about what's wrong & how to fix it. What are chances CoV Traffic Engineering would listen? Ha, thought so. #
  • Thanks to everyone who @'d and/or RT'd my run-in with the van last night and this morning. I appreciate the support. Twitter rocks. #
  • .@thepeak Playing @danmanganmusic's Robots. My 6 yr old sings this song to himself often enough that I now associate the song with him. #
  • Argh. Just found out that we're expecting a 600 lb box this afternoon. Last time this involved crowbars and a circular saw. #
  • Dear ${GRADSTUDENT}. I might take your request for an academic license a bit more seriously if you weren't sending me email with Hotmail. #
  • Awesome April birthday week! Today? @tjrossignol Tomorrow? @CityofVancouver Thursday? @LeftCoastMama Friday? @IanAMartin. Whoa! #
  • Of course, the better birthday week is *next* week … #ARTW #
  • Really? "Tough on Human Smuggling" is one of the #CPC campaign cornerstones? Really? That's a top-3 issue in Canada? #OutOfTouch #cdnpoli #
  • I see why they keep running attack ads. They don't really have a platform to promote, do they? #cpc #cdnpoli #wtf #
  • #CPC John Reynolds on @CBCEarlyEdition dismisses the FB-checking expulsion as "one of those things that happens during campaigns" #cdnelxn #
  • You know, it seems that the only thing the #CPC takes seriously is playing politics. They dismiss so many concerns of "the people" #
  • Oops, wrong John. John Cummings. #cdnpoli #
  • Ack, right the first time. John Reynolds. Not Cummings. I'm going back to bed. #cdnpoli #
  • A cold one. http://campl.us/QcZ #
  • Had great fun with some dry ice I brought home from work. The boys LOVED doing "experiments" with it; pure wonder + excitement. #
  • Of course, after an hour and a half Quinlan said "No more science, bed!" :p I love being able to show my kids cool SCIENCE! stuff. #
  • It's @LeftCoastMama's birthday today! Happy Birthday Gwen! #
  • On a somewhat related note, we now have a Crumpler bag in the house. I'm on the lookout for Keds, skinny jeans, and fixies. #hipsternation #
  • Days where both my kids sleep in freak me out. I guess we did too much science last night. #
  • This is 10m from the boys' room. 8 am, they're still asleep and this has been going for 1/2 hr! http://instagr.am/p/C6oOq/ #
  • Got our 2011 batch of Team LCF #geocaching buttons yesterday from @sixcentpress. They look awesome and came /fast/. W00t! #buylocal #
  • Sigh. RT @findchico: Yah, probly not a great camo idea for a geocache: http://twitpic.com/4i0jr4 #
  • Based on input from thousands of Canadians, @leadnowca has issued its Declaration for Change http://bit.ly/eZeunP #cdnpoli #elxn41 #
  • And although @leadnowca indicates that it's non-partisan, it's interesting to see how leftist the DoC ended up being. #elxn41 #cdnpoli #
  • Our 2011 crop of geocaching signature pins from @sixcentpress cc: @goliphant http://instagr.am/p/C7Zs5/ #
  • Pinot Noir! #marcmad cc: @Blackcloudwine #
  • Last chance to get your tickets to @policemuseum's #BootleggersBall Ticket tap gets turned off at noon: http://www.bootleggersball.ca #
  • How did we go fr $300M deficit in '14/15 2 weeks ago to a $4B surplus in '14/15 today? Does anyone trust the Cons' budget numbers? #cdnpoli #
  • .@davemacdonald Finally had a chance to listen to the Shera Kelly CD. Awesome! It'll go on heavy rotation at home, I'm sure. Thanks! #
  • The only logical conclusion about the Cons' new-found money for deficit cutting was they were lying two weeks ago, or lying now. #cdnpoli #
  • Cool tweeps with birthdays today: @boardchic and @IanAMartin. The number of April birthdays in my stream is crazy! #
  • Good thing kids are (mostly) rubber because it's going down the steepest, windiest trail that they'll forget to put their feet on the pedals #
  • While @eastcoastgranpa might have his "Super Q" but we have a new "Mini Q" http://instagr.am/p/C_887/ #
  • VanCtr #CPC candidate Jennifer Clarke came door knocking today. Took reject'n better than Lorne Mayencourt did last time viz @LeftCoastMama #
  • Funny, though. The #CPC candidates come door knocking. We never seen any of the other parties' candidates for some reason. #cdnpoli #vanctr #
  • Q went to bed quickly. Wasn't put off my his mother's absence, but sure didn't like the fact his brother wasn't here. #
  • It's nice that the two boys are so close. Wonder how long *that* will last. #
  • Just booked tickets to @pennjillette & @MrTeller's show in Vegas on our summer road trip. Front-row, seats 1,2,3. Yikes! But, exciting! #
  • Apple's "Find My iPhone" app is great. I just wish it had a vocabulary that included "living room", "bedroom", "pocket", etc. #
  • The truck in the Superstore parking lot with the radio turned up and 2 screaming kids in it? That's us. Sorry. #dayslikethese #
  • Dear @twitter: Are any of the accounts that end in a number legit? So tired of the ${NAME}${NUMBER} spammers. So tired. #
  • Ok, ok. Not *all* NAME+NUMBER accounts are spam. @lazarus7 @Nicole013 @5and1 @bluefinch604. But you're in the minority. #BlockAndReportSpam #
