  • Justin Trudeau on CBC Radio 1 now. He’s inherited quite a bit of his father’s charisma. Will the ghost of his father affect his pol. future? #
  • No http://twtvite.com/mu66et #twtvite #canucks #nhltweetup Le sigh, timing never seems to work out for me. This time it’s a softball game. #
  • Sadly the Joel Plaskett concert 4 in support of his newest album Three on CBC Radio 2’s website doesn’t stream 1 bit for me. Grade: 0 #
  • Actually, it’s working on my Windows XP virtual machine but not my Ubuntu workstation. #cbc: why do some things stream nicely, others not? #
  • Restarting dbus-daemon: bad idea. Even when it seems to be taking 3GB of real memory. I’m pretty sure I had those files saved… #
  • Between Xorg cpu/memory problems, ATI vid driver issues and now this dbus problem, #Jaunty is a DO NOT TRY recommendation from me. #ubuntu #
  • Haunting @kyegrace’s @propertyeggtv ( http://www.ustream.tv/channel/propertyeggtv ) Kye’s talking about how normal folks find realtors #

  • RT @CacheAdvance: Geocaching.com & many other Groundspeak services will go offline at 7:00 PM PDT for a server move http://bit.ly/1an0qS #
  • Another gorgeous ride in. Sunny, 14C == max enjoyment! #biketowork #
  • News1130 reports Calgary’s AHL farm team has rec’d approval to move to Abbotsford! #
  • Local technophobe author wants an online presence. Trying to talk her technophobe DH out of doing it himself. Any YVR referrals for job? #
  • OK, maybe “completely and utterly useless” was bit over the top. I with draw the hyperbole. #
  • Apparently I put myself unknowingly in the middle of a religious war. Stepping away from keyboard, will try to avoid velocidal drivers. #
  • Coolest use of Youtube that I’ve ever seen — and it involves #geocaching! http://is.gd/vfdy Try to find the cache! (via @jshults) #
  • It’s @CynicalDad’s Nameless Twitter Radio Show and he’s already played Edie (Ciao Baby) for @LeftCoastMama! http://tinyurl.com/ck8zgo #
  • What Canadian pop songs have been released in both French and English? I can think of two. Care to guess? #
  • I mean, I’m sure there’s more, but I can think of two from the 80s/90s… #
  • And maybe there’s some Celine Dion that’s been released in both, but I refuse to go there. #
  • OK, fun music-filled night but I’ve got to run into work to pull some samples from an oven :( #
  • The two songs, not that anyone cared, that I could think of were “L’affaire du Moutier” by The Box, and “Hélène/Helen” by Roch Voisine. #

  • I’m not blowing hyperbole when I say #pmharper demonstrates contempt for law, Parliament, the courts, and the CDN public http://is.gd/uS6N #
  • RT @herbadmother: I know the name of my brother. I need to still my heart. [Yay! HBM has been looking for adopted brother] #
  • Well I suppose raising a panic about the poor porker predicament pandemic is a better distraction than attacking another Mid-East country. #
  • Federal Green Party seems to think we’ll have an election by June. Really? I mean I’d be happy to throw out the Cons, but … June? #
  • Heads up! @tyamdm on RIGHT NOW on CBC Radio 1 (Vancouver) #
  • Stephen Quinn’s not using the kid gloves with @tyamdm, good questions, good answers. #
  • Yum, the mint Girl Guide cookies are good frozen too. Can’t have just one … #

  • #Tweetdeck? The hell? When I click on the scroll arrow, I expect the column to move one item up or down, not hundreds. FRUSTRATING. #
  • RT @yoyomama_van: Just did a photo diary blog of filming a bunch of under fives for our entry into CNDY: http://bit.ly/F6afn (A is in it!) #
  • Installed second monster child seat into the truck. Middle spot is now completely … well, there is no middle spot now! #
  • 100M+ ppl in Mexico, 100 ppl dead from swine flu. How many from influenza A in same period? Is this a molehill sized mountain? #
  • 4/4 so far in the NHL playoff pool, but haven’t had any of the series lengths correct :o #
  • Pig flu (sorry, *swine flu*) epidemic on #Twitter? Best commentary here: http://xkcd.com/574/ #
