  • Disorienting radio morning today. Listening to @JohnBiehler talking to @CBCStephenQuinn on @CBCEarlyEdition right now about his #ehteam trip #
  • The #LPC doesn't make much sense with respect to copyright either. http://bit.ly/h8OTrq "Do as I say, not as I do" #cdnpoli #
  • I don't usually retweet celebs, but @CraigyFerg is a smart, entertaining guy, + was a particularly poetic + truthful tweet @BadAstronomer #
  • Phew. It's after 10am. I can break into my chocolate stash now. #
  • I don't understand Youtube. A video I posted of the Vancouver Zoo train has over 11k views. Why? It was posted there just for a blog post! #
  • So I guess it's One and a Half men now, huh? Maybe they'll bring in Rob Lowe as Charlie's cousin from New England? #notwinning #
  • This in-and-out scheme that the Cons are saying they did nothing wrong: I'm no criminal but it's MONEY LAUNDERING, right? #cdnpoli #
  • .@craig_f Ok, so money laundering is concealing illegally obtained money. So more correctly, this is *just* fraud? #cdnpoli #
  • Casa Mia in Southlands is for sale again, $10.5M. Seems less impressive w/ avg detached house prices > $1M #yvr #
  • Sane iPhone notifications? Yes please: http://tcrn.ch/giHjnB #

  • Today I assembled a 12-core/24 GB computer from parts. Without losing any of the magic smoke. #NotMyJobDescription #SmallCompany #
  • Whisper-quiet (almost) cooling for 12 Xeon cores. http://instagr.am/p/CGcZd/ #
  • In addition to rebranding the Canadian gov't "The Harper Gov't", apparently the Cons are giving Ministerial awards too! http://bit.ly/hcMGhe #
  • Of course, no one else is stepping up to the plate, are they? #whowilllead #cdnpoli #
  • Sigh. Really? "The Canadians"? #140CharShorteningGoneWrong #
  • The arrogance + pure contempt the Cons have for Canadians has ensured I'll not vote for them in the foreseeable future. #cdnpoli #
  • Ok Tweeps, gotta go pack. LOS #
  • She don't like Firefly and now she's gone, gone, gone. http://youtu.be/x-yHSaP0Dyg #
  • Argh. Biz trip which hinges on another company being ready to have us has been pending since Wednesday last week. Now pushed to Fri. #

  • Crossing the border tonight, beater car with Cali plates, oozing blue smoke, packed to the gills with pillows and sundry got "special" attn #
  • No idea what guy was thinking but they shutdown all lanes but his as he got near. My lane closed right after we went thru. Easiest xing ever #
  • Seeing the devastation in Japan, particularly w/ the tsunami, I think about how screwed Richmond could be. Flat, sea level, exposed. #
  • And back in the 778. Hellllll-o rainy Vancouver. #
  • At Waterfront Theatre with Aidan waiting for @carouseltheatre's Munscha Mia to start http://ow.ly/i/95Ss #
  • Heading home on the AquaBus after the play http://campl.us/G3l #
