  • RT @kady: okay, so, uh, is this real? (…) not exactly in the usual release format http://twurl.nl/ldhzao [Wow, not exactly gov't language] #
  • If that presser on ec-gc.ca is fake (http://twurl.nl/ldhzao) then they either have someone on the inside or have hacked EnviroCanada @kady #

  • There is a very confused #UBC snowplow/salt truck driving around campus. 1) No snow anywhere. 2) No salt in truck. #snowmageddon #
  • Dear @Tweetdeck: The New Followers column, while interesting is supremely borked. My latest follower is, apparently, me. #
  • Score! A freezing rain warning issued for Vancouver! Wonder how our awesome drivers will handle that? #
  • OK, snow (big fluffy flakes) has started at UBC. Time to get the bike out of Dodge. #
  • Cut it close, but ride home was relatively uneventful. Snow's very wet. If it freezes tonight, it's going to be an ice rink. #
  • Never has there been a Canadian government more selfish, corrupt, and cowardly than our current government. I am ashamed at their actions. #
  • The Conservatives demo their contempt for the CDN public and our system of government by considering prorogation AGAIN: http://bit.ly/4UYHds #
  • I hate the prevailing attitude in ALL our politicians that is "we're not bad, but THOSE guys are worse!" So tired of negativity. #cdnpoli #
  • Instead of finger pointing, griping, and calling each other names, how about working to be a positive force for change? #cdnpoli #
  • Why do I always forget about the "No feeding of trolls" rule? :( #
  • Yeah, so, Canada's Worst Driver wasn't a surprise at all. But the idea of her being back on the road? Terrifying. Watch out Sudbury. #
  • Anytime I worry about the accuracy of our simulations at work, I look out the window, check the weather, and realize we're better than THEM #
  • $418000 for an average house in Toronto. $622000 for an average house in Vancouver. I have no idea how we're supposed to "get into the mkt" #
  • CBC Radio reporting someone has driven an SUV into YVR. Got a flight out today? It's gonna suck getting on it. #
  • Via @ggiannakos: A truck just came smashing through the airport in reverse about 15 feet from where we were. http://twitpic.com/tm3rh #
  • Another pic from @ggiannakos http://twitpic.com/tm4yr [Funny, I don't see any tasers, are we sure this is YVR?] #

  • Repairing a b0rked SVN merge by hand. If you told me I'd be having this much fun today, I wouldn't have believed you. #
  • #YYJ folks: If you look SE at about 7000 ft you might catch a glimpse of #787FF right now! #

  • Local business, who I won't call out yet, has been serially following and unfollowing me. #TheyDontGetSM #Fail #
  • Dexter Season 4 collected on DVR. Season 3 acquired in slightly more than 1 hr of pushing bits. Then we realized we've only seen S1! Nuts. #
  • The @WindMobile plans look awesome. Wish there were more phones, but can't wait for them to come to YVR! http://bit.ly/7D4LDl #
  • Wordies: I'm drawing a blank here. Need one word to describe complexity that's between "simple" and "complex". I.e., moderately complex #
  • .@iheartthatdance OK, Byzantine had me in stitches, but look at the thesaurus on that gave me "intricate" which is almost perfect I think #
  • On the heels of yesterday's news about house prices in YVR it's no surprise YVR is most expensive rental market too http://bit.ly/665hcp #
  • RT @CrunchyCarpets: RT'ing http://bit.ly/5cvNBE I need help donating some LeapFrog Tag Readers!!! (YVR area) #

  • When journalists forget a closing parenthesis I get lost trying to find the end of the parenthetical. Often can't finish the story. #
  • In related news, it's interesting how big companies are still struggling with social media http://bit.ly/7JwKEy #
  • RT @trishussey: And the winner's are @NetChick & @AnthonyFloyd! Tanya was drawn 1st so she picks the visor clip or headset. Yay! [Thanks!] #

  • OK, who broke Twitter tonight? #
  • The federal gov't trying to set our copyright laws by locking us to int'l treaties rather than in Parliament http://bit.ly/8N9j6w #cdnpoli #
  • Has there ever been a Canadian government that has tried to destroy Canadian values more than Harper's gov't? #cdnpoli #
  • Twitter is ruining my online communication skills. Tweets I compress, removing extra words. I find now w/ emails I have to *expand* them #
  • RT @sassjordan: all i want is a new version of Firefly PLEASE [Awesome] #

  • Related: Radio personalities should almost never be seen in public. The real deal hardly matches what you think the voice should look like. #
  • Politically-minded cousin of mine (Hi Paul!) suggests a FB app to allow people to vote (fed elections, etc). This frightens me … #
  • I agree that we need to engage the disenfranchised but would it trivialize the process? But maybe better than completely disengaged? #
  • RT @LauretteIAm: I hate things that say "Mom-Approved." Why not just PARENT approved? #
  • At the Stanley Park Bright Nights tweetup #

  • Going to take advantage of the unexpected sunny morning by taking Aidan out for the bike ride he's been asking for the past month #XMasInYVR #
  • 20 km ride with Aidan this morning on the Trail-A-Bike. The Central Valley Bikeway is *nice* but confusing at Science World… #
  • 5 dozen Snickerdoodles. Check. #XMasBaking #
  • RT LeftCoastMama: Heading out to Stanley park for the carol ride. Should be fun! [Note: carol ride. Not Carol ride. Pervs.] #
  • http://twitpic.com/ua4vm – We had a front seat for our horse-drawn tour of Stanley Park! #
  • Aidan reminds everyone that as of right now, there are 7 sleeps until Boxing Day #KidsAreWeird #
  • Also, if he tells you I locked his sister in the closet, please keep in mind … he doesn't have a sister … #KidsAreWeird #
  • A slow lazy Sunday means receiving packages from the mail carriers in pyjamas. At 1pm. #
  • Not even the Sally Ann wanted our working 24" CRT TV. "We only take LCDs now" !!! #
  • I understand LCDs are all-round better than CRTs but it was a *free* working TV. I wonder if it would be different in another city? #yvr #
  • No prob I say to myself, I'll search for articles written by @gillianshaw over past few days. Apparently something @vancouversun can't do. #
  • The "advanced search" page *does* have an "author name" box, but it does little more than take up space + frustrate customers #vancouversun #
  • Oops, Survivor spoilers appearing. Time for Twitter blackout. Later Tweeps. #
  • Jury votes are so very perplexing. There's no way Natalie should have won #Survivor. #
  • At least we got the boys' presents wrapped, so then night wasn't a complete write-off :) #ItsOnlyAGame #
