  • Crap. Both kids currently sleeping through the alarm clock. This bodes … poorly. #

  • Beavers! Beavers! Beavers! Sharing! Sharing! Sharing! http://t.co/XmbpyhxA #

  • It's good to be here. http://t.co/hr5k1PtN #
  • And now the NPA robodialed my cell. They sure know how to piss off electors, huh? cc: @alexishinde @Nicole013 #vanpoli #

  • Also? Did they call everyone in Vancouver tonight? #

  • Great analysis of the usage of those fancy separated bike-lanes in Vancouver: http://t.co/iHYW9Tu0 #bikeyvr #
  • More unsolicited robocalls from the NPA. What really gets me is you can't ask to be remove from call list when it's a robodialer. #vanpoli #
  • Good reasons for buying the "single rolls" instead of the "double rolls": minimize the losses when the kid drops in the toilet, or unrolls #
  • So, what's the big conference in that's setting off fireworks this time? Doctors, lawyers, Hell's Angels? #yvr #
  • According to the Vancouver Convention Centre website, the fireworks are for them International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers #yvr #
  • A little something to fill my "free" time http://t.co/0zlvMMLN #

  • .@lisasj Raindrops pound pavement // Tires pushing slop around // Biking ain't pretty now #twaiku #
  • 10:30pm, home. Decided to skip the whole "food in a restaurant", opted for waffles at home. They're doing a good job at buffering the beer. #

  • Aircraft crash in Yellowknife, NWT RT @moneycoach: devastating photo via @ALegaree http://t.co/sspxVi0z #yzf #
  • It was the Terry Fox run today at school. A's teacher didn't tell the kids or the parents b/c of the teacher's "strike". Idiot. #
  • Turns out there were at least 4 notices that she has refused to give to the kids. Only found out b/c A was in office due to bee sting. #
  • Tell me again how this petty job action isn't affecting kids? #
  • Fed the cats for the 1st time today. Was wondering why they were being so attentive. cc: @LeftCoastMama #
  • Nice! RT @gpstracklog: New geocaching features for the Garmin Montana series; coming soon to others: http://t.co/E6sN7EGJ #

  • This could be interesting, latest prediction for UARS reentry dumps it in the Pacific at 9:04 pm +/- 3 hrs. 15 mins later puts it over #YVR #
  • Here's the updated map for the UARS reentry http://t.co/3AoGb8q0 #
  • Hanging on by a thread. Literally. http://t.co/wlvhqKsy #

  • RT @UARS_Reentry: Radar data delays will now impact altitude accuracy, but before #UARS has commence re-entry, the location will be correct #
  • 30 mins-ish to #UARS reentry. Still looks like it will be splashing down between Antarctica and Australia. #space #deathfromtheskies #
  • Tonight's reading material #uars cc: @citycaucus @badastronomer http://t.co/qLjLmSvP #
  • #uars reentry should be happening now, as it approaches the West Coast of North America. Look up! #deathfromtheskies #
  • #uars about to approach the PNW from the southwest at about 100km altitude. Look up! #deathfromtheskies #
  • #uars now over Alberta. Looks like Vancouver is safe. For now. #
  • Lots of unconfirmed rumors #uars crashed in Northern Canada. If it's still up, it should be crossing NW Africa now. #
  • Seems like #uars is down, waiting for NASA to confirm location. Reports of lights, explosions in Northern Quebec… #
  • In the unlikely event that #uars is still airborne, it should be passing BC from SW to NE right now. #
  • Video from Okotoks, AB supposedly of debris from #UARS http://t.co/IvFmKx7K (via @thenightskyguy) #
  • There's an official rap/autotuned Thomas the Tank Engine theme? Ugh. #

  • Stories Along The Trail in Pacific Spirit Park http://t.co/g5EZw5DP #
  • Why do old people in Vancouver have limiters installed that keep them under 40 kph? And why can't we put those in "L" & "N" drivers' cars? #
  • Anyone up for a Vancouver Giants tweetup? Oct 10th, 1 pm game time. #gianttweetup #

  • Hey, @anndouglas is coming to Vancouver, and there's a #tweetup http://t.co/Zs0CZ0h #
  • I don't know if glow-in-the-dark cats would scar children for life, or just be really, really cool http://t.co/Fu8FCTv #
  • Caiiou vs Sponge Bob vs art project. This seems like a forgone conclusion. #OTC #
  • I see I'm going to be the token male at the @anndouglas YVR tweetup next week. Yay me? #
  • Just registered Aidan with the 47th St Marks Beavers. Now @Scouter_Mike can speak to us again. #

  • Start of a new phase in our lives: Our youngest starts preschool today. Two more years before both boys are in school! #
  • According to BC Vital Statistics Agency, fewer than 5 Quinlans born in 2008. 2 of them are in the same preschool class. Inconceivable! #
  • Heh, I have 1541 followers at the moment. C= #geeknumber #holepunchedfloppies #

  • A polite place to tell the WiFi-makes-me-sick people to go: http://t.co/uFXgry8 #
  • Just met up with Anthony Floyd who lives a 5 min walk from my work and received some mail intended for me. Weird. #
  • Boy, the RCMP is exasperated about questions relating to the Amber Alert (or lack thereof) in Alberta. #
  • Watching @rickmercer torture @jannarden on RMR. What an awesome couple. :D #
  • If this makes kids sick, is it negligent assault? RT @News1130radio: Super Wi-Fi expected to hit Vancouver in spring http://t.co/DKqqdK5 #
  • Anyone else having Telus cell connectivity problems at UBC? Friend can't get service. Also, my phone shows Virgin and T-Mobile networks here #
  • Why is there a T-Mobile cell network available on UBC campus? Isn't that a violation of CRTC rules? #
  • Warning: Rabbit hole. One-minute physics videos http://t.co/nqmqxX3H (via @alexishinde) #
  • Every time I think of you I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue. Thanks @thepeak! #
  • Another celeb has phone "hacked". How? Unless the "hacker" has physical access to the phone, is there a special celeb-only private cloud? #
  • And if they have physical access to the phone, it's not really hacking, is it? #
  • Did you watch Survivor last night? The nerdy, channels-Woody-Allen Cochran is on Twitter @survivorcochran #
  • Just bought tix to the @neilhimself & @amandapalmer show in YVR on Nov 6. Use promo code "palmer" http://t.co/fdfziEwm cc @JessieRelephant #

  • For those playing along at home tonight, the answer is no, I did not remember to close the moonroof before the torrential rain. #
  • Teaching my son bad French. Puis'j (pronounced puige) is what I learned as short for puis-je which I guess is slang for "Est-ce que je peux" #
  • The French immersion teacher is going to love me and my Acadian/Quebecois French background #
  • VPD was cracking down on jaywalking, cyclists, and texting while driving. Did anyone notice? Apparently they've stopped now; as you were. #
  • Link to VPD "crackdown" story: http://t.co/vj69dcBG #

Anthony on , 12 Sep 2011 08:15 am
  • Put Q in his room for time out. Think he fell asleep. Time to switch to Plan B for today's activities. #agileparenting #
  • Plan B is riding the Central Valley Greenway with Aidan. If you see us, say hi! #bikeyvr #
  • Ice cream at New West Quay http://t.co/G60GFUU #
  • World's Largest Tin Soldier http://t.co/hwoC0Hj #
  • Central Valley Greenway: Conquered. 26 km from Granville Island to New West Quay. A perfect Labour Day bike ride. Now, to get home :) #
  • Afternoon at New West Quay http://t.co/mXjgHu6 #
  • New West, so quaint. So hilly. #
  • Back from epic bike ride with Aidan. 53 km from Granville Island to New West Quay and back. Pooped, dehydrated, happy. #
  • Ride wasn't too bad. 3 ppl ran red lights while we were in crosswalks on way there, none on the way back. Another typical day cycling YVR. #
  • Love the long rides, less thrilled about the sun stroke. Gotta figure that one out. #
  • Nuts, missed it. Never remember to fire up the Munzee app. #
  • Seriously @kobo? Every update of the iPhone app requires me to redownload all my books? Very irritating. I just want to read! #
  • We have a geocache near the "100" on West 4th Ave near Granville Island. Someone found it recently as their 900th find: http://t.co/vNCcUEO #
  • Arrrrrrrr! #backyardigans @PaulAndStorm Thx to random channel surfing, now have two very different earworms in my head #makethemwalktheplank #
  • Reading everyone's #firstdayofschool Tweets. A starts Grade 1 today, starts full-day, starts lunch away from home. Hope it goes smoothly. #
  • First day of Grade 1! http://t.co/aJCgnLa #
  • Vastly entertained by all the "back to school" tweets. Also? A very many of us have kids in Grade 1 this year. #
  • Oooh. I *really* like the new Winnipeg Jets jerseys: http://t.co/Qjbtxiw #
  • Just turned on #OTC Uh, what the heck is this? "Night People"? Ugh, shudder. @cbcstephenquinn #
  • Ah, Human League. Oh man. Back to the 80s, please. Ugh. #OTC @CBCStephenQuinn #
  • Rogers: Sure you can play online video games … if you don't exceed 80 kbps. WTH? Is this 1995? H/T @theresalalonde http://t.co/7VpujCB #
  • Just clicked on a link to what might have been an interesting story. Spread over 7 pages. TL;DR. That's why mice have scroll wheels, no? #
  • Forest burning a couple hundred metres from work. Fortunately wind's blowing the other way + the heli water bomber isn't too distracting. #
  • More Quinlan-ish: Pine-cone apple. Use in a sentence: I would like some pine-cone apple in my hot-meal, please. #toddlerish #
  • On the one hand, I'm glad that the 3 yr old in Sparwood isn't missing in the woods by himself. On the other hand, he's been abducted… #
  • Happiness is Jeff Tweedy (Wilco) covering the Black Eyed Peas: http://t.co/tRK6AMf #
  • #AmberAlert 3 y/o Kienan HEBERT. Suspect is Randall HOPLEY, 46 y/o with dark hair, driving 87' Toyota Camry BCLP 098RAL http://t.co/0rBIeTa #
  • #AmberAlert 3 y/o Kienan HEBERT. Suspect is Randall HOPLEY, 46 y/o with dark hair, driving 87' Toyota Camry BCLP 098RAL http://t.co/0rBIeTa #
  • It's been over 24 hrs since that 3 yr old in Sparwood has been missing. If he's been taken in a car, he could be anywhere in BC, AB. #
  • Day 3 of wake-the-kids-to-go-to-school-on-time. It's as fun as I imagined it would be. #
  • With all the Sept 11th coverage, ad naseum, I'm going to be avoiding all MSM for the next week. Overload. #
  • Heh, awesome #beardcore RT @604Heather: Attention @CBCStephenQuinn MT @wilw: http://t.co/qArCpEZ #
  • So, things that you can do in Vancouver and not face any recourse from police: riot, burn police cars, travel in sports cars at 200 kph… #
  • Listening to this "new" ATC chatter about the 9/11 events is disturbing. #
  • Oh, Grand Fondo, not Grand Fonyo. Completely changes my opinion of the event. #
  • A has been at school full time for 2 days now, but it's been Q that we've had to put to bed early both days. Huh? #
  • .@telus calls 2x day, every day despite repeated requests to be removed from call list. Anyone have a link to how to deal w/ this abuse? #
  • I mean, seriously @telus. Any good will or positive thoughts about your company evaporated many unsolicited calls ago. #
  • Earthquake! #
  • 6.7 Earthquake just off the coast of Vancouver Island #
  • USGS link to 6.7 EQ off off West coast of Vancouver Island: http://t.co/rptWWoM #
  • It's cool seeing the different reports on who felt the earthquake and who didn't. The ground beneath plays huge role. #yvreq #
  • .@LeftCoastMama I felt this one less than the Nisqually earthquake in 2001, despite it being closer. <shrug> #
  • If you see tweets about a 9/11-ish attack on NY today, don't believe them. The @NBCNews account was hacked, is spreading false info. #
  • RT @RollingStone Bono announces 'Achtung Baby' covers album w/Jack White, Depeche Mode, Patti Smith http://t.co/Oln38AO (cc @LeftCoastMama) #
  • Oooh, please tell me #OTC is going to play Smooth Criminal by Alien Ant Farm @CBCStephenQuinn #
  • So many Vancouverites have "never felt an earthquake." This was the 3rd one in 14 yrs that I've felt. Over-sensitive? #
  • Via @gpsforthebrain RT @WayeMason: This is the best thing I have seen in a long time: http://t.co/VjhvcOH #nspoli #halifax #
  • Breakfast. It's what's for supper. 'cause you were dying to know. http://t.co/OhALgmS #
  • Thanks for the affirmation, Twitter pals. Seems like everyone likes breakfast for supper, sometimes. #
  • I've stolen one of my wife's Bacardi Breezers. Don't tell her, ok? #
  • How much longer are we going to pretend that it's the "World's Largest Undefended Border"? Helos, drones, armed TSA, undefended? #cdnpoli #
  • Now up to 5 days of the same Amber Alert. I wonder if they worry about Cry-Wolf Syndrome? #
  • And yea, the self-righteous shall be blocked with nary a second thought. #buhbye #
  • Hmmm, didn't figure them for being "the loud neighbours" and yet this is the third or fourth loud, late party of the past few months. #
  • OMG. Missing 3yr old Kienan returned apparently unharmed to his home at 3am this morning! http://t.co/2a2EkIy #
  • There is a lot of stern voice counting backwards happening this morning. #
  • MT @findchico: You'd think he'd just drop him off at a 7/11 somewhere else rather than go back to the home. #
  • I had no idea that stern-voice counting direction was an issue! #TeamCountdown @alexishinde @SlvrLambStudios @buzzbishop @catriona #
  • Today's poser from 6 yr old: Is math a science? He says yes: you can make observations about patterns in numbers, make & test hypotheses #
  • Weird. Two medevac helicopters and the RCMP Air 1 flying overhead. Wonder what's going on. #
  • OK, they're flying formation over False Creek now. Maybe not Air 1, maybe a camera crew? #
  • BCAS helos still at it flying over the city in formation with 3rd helo. Clearly a promo shoot of some sort. #yvr #
  • Still trying to understand how a stranger abducts a non-verbal 3 yr old, takes care of him for 5 days, then sneaks him back home at 3 am. #

  • No more road-side geocaches in BC? http://t.co/BxHyN8m #Geocaching #
  • RT @hummingbird604: Free outdoor movie in Mount Pleasant TONIGHT at Guelph Park The Princess Bride http://t.co/a7EX1k6 #
  • I have ONE passalong to share my Stephen King #Mile81 Perk from Klout.1st to claim it gets it! Thx @simonschuster! http://t.co/3xPr8rr #
  • Had a cold call from an unidentified caller telling us about a typo on our web site. "Pennisula" -> "Peninsula". Thanks caller! :/ #
  • .@Sloanmusic is giving away music! Grab it here: http://t.co/L5LluAG no strings attached. #
  • I can always tell when @lazinryder is On The Coast. There's more music. Grooving in my pod right now. #
  • Aidan will i-view @joshgroban tonight. If A gets asked about HIS fav music: @SocialD1, @afi, @danmanganmusic, @kaiser_chiefs, @BobsandLoLo #
  • His taste in music is somewhat eclectic for a 6 yr old. #
  • Typical night at Charleson Park: 3 on-leash dogs in and around play equipment, 2 more off leash. All violating unenforced dog bylaw. Grrr. #
  • 100m away is a huge dog park. So very frustrating. #
  • I need de­­­­­­­­­­­­-earworming. Quick, someone tweet me a song. #anythingbutrush #
  • Awesome @lyteforce @bobsongs @manx_cat @craftyb! Now I'm looking for a Muppets/Duck Sauce remix sung by Sir Elton w/ a violin solo. #
  • Twitter in the classroom? http://t.co/7b4EBhp cc: @polarisdotca #
  • Sigh, geocache near there RT @VancouverPD: #VPD and #RCMP deal with suspicious package near W.37th & Heather tonight – http://ow.ly/6hiUt #
  • Thanks to @Joshgroban for his support of @CarouselTheatre tonight. Aidan and the rest of the Carousel family had a blast! #
  • Morning came early today. *yawn* #
  • Breaking: Leg-in-Boot Square in Vancouver to be renamed Foot-in-Shoe Square #WashedUpJoke #
  • So long to @joshlavoie and @ErinLouise, two cool local Tweeps who we somehow never got to meet. They're off to Australia! Have fun, kids! #
  • We've got to push those microwave ovens: RT @CBCArts: Dire Straits' song deemed fit for Canadian radio http://t.co/bxgul4x #
  • It seems JC Penny got on top of this pretty quickly, but unimaginable how it got this far: Too Pretty to Do Homework http://t.co/IXl9DmS #
  • Suddenly I have a great idea for a new geocache container: http://t.co/jtqIFei #
  • Dear #OTC interviewee, sarcasm is limited to hipsters? Damn. @lazinryder #OTC #
  • 7th/Pine OffBWay bike rte, lux SUV blows stop, halts few ft from me on bike. Throws bird, yells, gets OUT, threatens. WTF Vancouver? #
  • Get out of the fucking way he yells. Oblivious to fact he's left SUV in mid of intersection. God I hate people sometimes. #
  • I slowed down because he was blowing the stop. I should run a video cam all the time so I can make police reports on these assholes. #
  • Seriously. 14 yrs of bike commuting in Vancouver. # ppl getting out of cars & threatening me this yr? 3. Other years? 0. What's in the H2O? #
  • Apparently school starts next week. No letters, notices, emails, phone calls from school. Wonder when, what time, where he's supposed to go? #
  • Tennyson never seems to think stuff like that is important. Why would parents want to know when to send their kids? #
  • To combat tonight's grumpiness, I'm making chocolate chip cookies. Chocolate makes everything better. #
  • BC teachers are underpaid. I abhor the BCTF using children as pawns. I do not support teachers strikes at all. #
  • One way to solve BC's teaching problems? Tear up the contracts, outlaw the BCTF, bring in a 3rd party consultant, build from scratch. #
  • Pay the teachers what they deserve, clearly define their responsibilities, give them the flexibility in hours, bring in merit based feedback #
  • The days of permanent, protected jobs are over. If you're not pulling your weight, why should you be bringing down the system? #
  • Not that I think any reform of the public education system will occur. The BCTF is too powerful, and the BC electorate hates change. #bcpoli #
  • Here's a crazy idea: Pay teachers year-round. Only give them 2-4 wks vacation like the rest of us. Use rest of summer for planning, pro-D. #
  • That way, they don't have to work nights, weekends doing planning b/c they have planned through summer. #
  • Pay them for 8 hour days. 6 hours with kids, 2 hours to do other work. Keep proD days, bake in some planning days too. #
  • MT @kyegrace: Bottom line for me is there are some smart hardworking people stuck in a badly broken system. #bcedu #
  • Chocolate chip cookies make the world better. http://t.co/3k05jxO #
  • Interesting: Why is there no texting geographic "emergency broadcast system"? Ie, broadcast text to all cell phones in geographic area? #
  • Great interview with Douglas Keefe and John Furlong on #OTC with @lazinryder. Frank discussion about #vanriot2010 #
  • Erm, #vanriot2011 The 2010 riot was much more subdued. Particularly as the Canucks exited in the 2nd round. #
  • Walking home from grocery store tonight, 3 Busters tow trucks hauling away illegally parked lux cars. Easy pickings on the South Cambie Rise #
  • Late to the party, but happy birthday to AMTK @yoyomamadotca! Doesn't 29 feel great? #
  • OMG, it's like Pop Up Video for Star Wars http://t.co/wXkHNK3 (ROTJ) #
  • And you thought those back-scatter scans at airports were bad RT @News1130radio: What your car undergoes at the borders http://t.co/RKXzfp5 #
  • Free 2GB Dropbox account! Plus a little extra for you and me. Easiest way to sync between machines, phones, etc http://t.co/ooehLBW #
  • Boys of summer http://t.co/jNGFGtc #
  • Something I tell my 6 yr old every time I take him to a public washroom RT @Raffi_RC: stand tall, aim high! #
  • Ok, Tweeps: Want to do 25 km+ ride w/ kid on trail-a-bike starting near VGH in Vancouver. Where should we go? #
  • Ok, got one, inside store. Where are you? #
  • 4 down. 10 to go #
  • 999 #
  • 1000! #geocaching http://t.co/7y3LVvg #
  • Our 1000th #geocaching find! TFTC @findchico http://t.co/iOyzriQ #
  • So, of our 1001 geocaching finds, I figure 900 of those have included one or both of our kids. Whew, that's a lot of toddler angst :) #
  • Finally home, 10 hours today out today picnicking, playgrounding, geocaching. Worn. Out. #
  • GSAK is great. Apparently it took us 1598 days to get to 1000 #geocaching finds. Had I known it might have been tempting to wait 2 more days #
  • Also? Our cache-to-cache distance is 93500km, or 2.34 times around the equator. Yowza! #geocaching #
