  • Protracted willful defiance. All. Weekend. Long. I can't wait for "three" to be over. Four will be better, right? #
  • Sign of how just easy Python is: rather than writing on the whiteboard in pseudocode, it's all proper #Python #
  • Oh hello Monday night. Beavers starts again. #
  • Swimming lessons tonight at Hillcrest. Nice pool, needs an observation d @ Aquatic Centre at Hillcrest Park http://t.co/cf7dAQsf #
  • “@buzzbishop: the coolest video you will see all day. time lapse from a cockpit http://t.co/3dYhgSiI” #b737 800 #aeroporn #
  • Ok, I just lost 20 mins on today’s @xkcd and it just keeps going…. #
  • There is a plane flying over UBC proclaiming CUPE Local 116 is celebrating 70 years at UBC. That's great use of union dues, right? #
  • Way to fight for the rights of those who can't … by hiring a plane to burn gas and tow an expensive banner for hours at end. #
  • Right off, no never ever, never ever! #
  • Goddamn! Look to the freaking LEFT at least once before blowing through a traffic circle! #asshats #bikeyvr #
  • It's been two nights in a row at the same traffic circle that a speeding car hasn't looked left AT ALL and nearly t-boned me. #bikeYVR #
  • I understand looking at making the Granville Bridge friendlier for cyclists/pedestrians, but the Cambie Bridge? Already there. #bikeyvr #
  • Was there a big wind storm last night? Many leaves littering the bike route this morning. #bikeYVR #yvrwx #
  • International business is fun, but seeing "Floyd-san" in an email is weird. #
  • The terrifying blue sky of the past 3 months has been replaced with a comfortingly-familiar fuzzy grey. #winteriscoming #
  • Given @LisachristCBC's influence on #OTC I bet they're just *itching* to play this rock mashup of CRJ's song http://t.co/JfVA4vF4 (mp3) #
  • G&M's "public editor" brushes aside examples of plagiarism by Wente, dismisses UofO prof as "anonymous blogger" http://t.co/SzwaLGKI #
  • “@dgardner: "I find it astonishing that it does not deal with the almost identical Dan Gardner paragraph…" Me, too. http://t.co/2BR84Bo6” #
  • Aidan took the "Luke, I am your father" thing in stride, but Quinlan was all like "Darth Vader is his Daddy!?" #
  • :Flicker: <buzz buzz> Pop! :Flicker: /emission of magic smoke/ Fortunately that was just a CFL burning out and not something more serious. #
  • Anyone know the hazmat team’s number? #cfl #
  • Just watched last week’s Flashpoint. Best hour of TV on Canadian airwaves, bar none. #

  • The Sun is big. How big? Check out this pic of a coronal mass ejection with Earth inset for reference http://t.co/7Q775TSC #
  • Reviewing team commits. "Improved (…) which seemed to be struggling in its mandate to do what it was told." #programmersarefunny #
  • FWIW, "scallops" – particularly Digby scallops – are pronounced "skawl-ops" not "skal-ops" #twitch #otc #
  • And apparently the NS Wine Association has an uphill battle here in BC. #otc #
  • Just watched the season finale of Continuum. Very surreal to be watching on this particular day. #
  • The goal of school is _not_ to prepare everyone for university. #otcforum #
  • :facepalm: RT @alexwarrior: @AnthonyFloyd Lol another today! (Argronomy/Wesbrook Mall) http://t.co/L6fEwDrE #
  • Quiet ride on the Off-Broadway tonight fr Commercial back to Fairview. Don't the hipsters flock west to Kits, opposite to the Burnaby crows? #
  • I am regularly astonished at how different a childhood my kids are having compared to mine http://t.co/7WYGYw9J #
  • .@vancitychic tries valiantly to block the setting sun at tonight's @ St. Augustine's Restaurant And Lounge http://t.co/Nn9gxWHb #
  • The Lions won't be snow-free for much longer. #winteriscoming http://t.co/YWON9HJb #
  • Bike across the new Port Mann Bridge for free? Sure! But how to get there safely? From either side. #bikeyvr #
  • "Quantitative easing" == printing money. Why not call a spade a spade? #
  • .@604homesguy Actually that's $989,900. Based on Fairview Green selling 3 bdrm at $1.86M, they're within "market" #
  • These 6:30am telecons aren't so bad when the weather's nice, but I imagine they'll really suck when having to ride in the rain. #
  • Story in the Vancouver Sun refers to Reddit thread, links to story on UK's Daily Mail but not Reddit. #fail #globalmediaconspiracy #
  • Oops. RT @Seanfunk: Pic of the dump truck that hit the gaglardi overpass. @news1130traffic http://t.co/j0IYEnh5 #
  • Why can my 3 yr old sing along with "Call Me Maybe"? So much blame to go around. Not the least is CBC Radio 1 right now. #otc #
  • One or more internet doppelgänger is now sending me medical records … and child support letters. Sigh. So *freaking stupid*. #
  • #msl #curiousity RT @gmarkham: Uh, yeah. RT @DougSaunders: Holy wow. http://t.co/cou6TArj #
  • Hello, world. @cogno wants you to know about #cognosgaragesale 8-3pm today at 3558 w 2nd ave. Relive the 80s! #yvr #
  • Out enjoying the afternoon with Kid #1 @ Confederation Park http://t.co/ZopkKfvN #
  • 3 Tracks #latergram #trains #burnaby http://t.co/Blaao8L9 #
  • Someone downtown is working on a replica of Archimedes' solar death ray. http://t.co/yQ4cHmFO #
  • Looking off towards Vancouver Island from Garry Point Park #storyville #steveston #richm @ Garry Point Park http://t.co/glRMJK0G #

  • Click. Click. Click. The sound of a starter motor not quite turning over. #evanslake12 #
  • RT @bccycle: Tracks of death gone from 1st Ave by Granville Island! http://t.co/9GT1SsRs #bikeyvr #
  • So … Windows 8 is an OS that works poorly as both a touch OS and a desktop OS. Well, ok then. http://t.co/sn04SjiO (watch the painful vid) #
  • Can I Go Nowhere With You? Love this song. Always gets me chair-dancing. @thepeak @jplaskett #
  • Tonight there was much jumping. http://t.co/I79lZLSY #
  • The bike route into UBC has been teeming with bikes this week. Awesome weather too. Hopefully they keep it up! #bikeyvr #
  • Yes, school's back in. Why do 20% of motorists turn into complete idiots when that happens? #
  • I wish as many Canadians in my Twitter stream were as excited about Canadian politics as they are about the US presidential elxn. #cdnpoli #
  • Of course, I also wish we had a federal leader who could generate the sort of excitement that the US presidential candidates do. #cdnpoli #
  • Not too many bikes on the bike route this morning. Not too many cars either. #TeleconWithEurope #
  • Rode down off-Broadway bike route as WPG Academy was getting out. What a gong show. Stopping in the middle of road for pickup? #asshat #
  • If only we could math cool in high school, instead of smoking. Maybe ban math text books? Force them to have plain paper covers? #
  • If cougar sightings are going to cause problems for the Whistler GranFondo … why are they going to Whistler!? #cougartown #
  • Finally replaced personal backup drive at work + I'm at the tail-end of rsync'ing our photos there. Phew, will be able to sleep well again. #
  • Waiting. #olloclip #spider #web http://t.co/cF7Fh2XN #
  • Il pleut pour la première fois depuis longtemps #winteriscoming #
