- Got it covered. RT @Blackcloudwine: Pro-Tip: Every earthquake/disaster survival kit should include one (1) bottle of wine per adult #safety #
- Aidan has discovered Animal Crossing on his DS. I suspect that this is the beginning of the end. #
- On the one hand, it's a video game and that's bad, right? On the other hand, he's been reading through the RPG narrative for a few hours now #
- And he's 5. And hasn't asked what any of the words mean. And he's understanding it all. I'm ok with this. #AnimalCrossing #
- Finally upgraded the blogs to WP3 and MySQL5. 1and1 sure didn't make that easy. phpmyadmin kept timing out, had to do it by hand! :<( #
- Like salmon in the sky http://instagr.am/p/BVNQ3/ #
- According to the Vancouver Police Dept, 5200 distracted driving tix were issued in 2010. That's less than 14% of BC total. #
- I guess the feeling that traffic enforcement in Vancouver is largely absent is borne pretty clearly by the numbers. #

- There's got to be a term for when your boss comes by your cube and asks "What's up?" thereby knocking your focus for the next half-hour. #
- I just can't think of it. Maybe I should spend some time on teh Google to find out. #CompletelyDerailedNow #
- Added another OS to those on my workstation. This one has a spinning beachball. Spinning, spinning, spinning. #
- Phone it in? Perhaps @cbcfoxman could Skype it in? #otc #weheardthat @CBCStephenQuinn #
- Via @stv: RT @secretsquirrel: I came here to kick ass and assign IPv4 addresses.
And I'm all out of IPv4 addresses. #
- Looks like all the North American Lonely Planet Guide apps are free today (usually $6). Grab 'em while they're hot! #

- Wait, Gordon Campbell is still our premier? #rudderless #bcpoli #
- Dear telemarketers: If you have an "important message" for me, then your caller ID won't be 000-000-0000. #ThanksButNoThanks #
- Participating in social media more effective than print advertizing? One anecdote from VanIsle: http://bit.ly/i5Ja1s #
- Previous link was tweeted by someone this morning, but sadly, I've lost track of who. #
- A-ha! Previous link tweeted by the incomparable @LimelitePR. You should follow her. Even if it's not Friday. #
- Call it flip-flopping, call it fair-weather politicking, but I don't mind when politicians change their minds. #christyclark #bcpoli #
- I mean, why stick with a bad position? If you can learn or be shown that you're wrong, and admit it, isn't that a *good* thing? #

- Great. The CRTC chair is making internet policy based on figures from 2009, and clearly doesn't understand the tech. #UBB #Dinosaur #
- Someone remind me, please, what useful purpose the CRTC serves today? It seems to be constantly undermined/overruled lately @TonyClement_MP #
- Good thing StatsCan will have extra time due to loss of the mandatory long-form census. It can get the CRTC some up-to-date internet figures #
- RT @aprilmains: “@mgeist: Q. Why IPTV exempt from caps? CRTC: Because IPTV is not an Internet service.†huh? #ubb #
- RT @seanmhair: Has it occurred to the committee & KvF that many of us are watching this hearing streaming online? #irony #CRTC #UBB #
- Yay! @TheresaLalonde's CBC News bit on the #UBB kerfuffle gets it right about what it actually was about vs what the "perception" was. #
- RT @mgeist: CRTC's Faulty UBB Foundation: Why We Should Doubt the Review- my take on procedural & substantive concerns http://bit.ly/i91TMj #

- Re: last link. Strikes me as awfully unprofessional of the web designer too. #
- "RED" was, in our estimation, more entertaining than The Social Network. And Iron Man 2 for that matter. #MostMoviesSuckNow #
- Wonderful. Another overnight shooting on Oak St. Seriously? It's such a boring street. The appeal must be that it's an easy getaway route. #

- I really hate many dog owners in this city. #
- RT @peterlouwe: @AnthonyFloyd I reported on many dog attacks. Last words the owner says prior to bite are "don't worry, he's harmless." #
- .@pawspix I should not need to protect my kids at a playground from off-leash dogs. Period. #

- Gratifying I suppose, but heading the list of "Similar to @AnthonyFloyd" is @LeftCoastMama. The other entries are also somewhat unsurprising #
- That was an … unpleasant … end to our Sunday coffee ritual. Turns out Q isn't feeling that well. Sorry about that @stv!! #
- Unsurprisingly BEP isn't playing anything from their most recent album. #PileOfSteamingManure #halftime #
