Twitter Weekly Updates for 2011-12-12
- What I want to know is why ride on arterials: RT @kitsilano: Should cyclists be banned from riding on arterials? http://t.co/kApNv9XM #
- I like when I've anticipated my forgetfulness by putting something where I'll find it later, but forgetting that I've done that. #
- Not the same as putting something in a "safe, but never to be found again" place. It's putting something in a pocket to "discover" it later. #
- Reviewing a year's worth of commit logs. Spot the Twitter users: hashtags! #
- "Most winning-est"? Er, maybe "winning-est"? Can you be more winning-est than the winning-est? #
- #eatingontheradio today is shortbread cookies. Does that mean #drinkingontheradio later this week will be milk? #otc #
- You know when words start looking wrong? "Challenges" doesn't look right for some reason. #
- I utterly don't understand @adrianecarr's continued insistence that bikes are causing traffic congestion. Where's the proof? How much delay? #
- Perhaps @adrianecarr should be more concerned about congestion and delays caused by uncontrolled left turns from arterials… #
- … something that causes much more delay and traffic chaos than bikes in curb lanes @adrianecarr #
- In fact, I'm of the opinion that @CityofVancouver keeps uncontrolled left turns in place on arterials to control speeding on those roads. #
- Tough challenges on tonight's #cwd They seem designed to frustrate. #
- It's December 6th, the anniversary of the Halifax Explosion, which killed over 1600, injured over 9000, and flattened everything for 2 km. #
- It's an interesting observation of the human condition that small numbers of deaths affect us, but large numbers are just a statistic. #
- Someone used "facepalmy" as a description of how they felt in a comment on this blog post: http://t.co/3PaOj3bT I like it. #
- Argh this friggin Google button. Google used to be good at not getting in the way of getting stuff done. What happened? #
- An interesting article about the bike vs car war in NYC (via @CityCaucus) http://t.co/v73yiBJd #bikeyvr #
- Using a Halls lozenge always reminds me of my grandmother who would slip them to me as "candy" #
- Well, if the beans *were* magic, isn't getting BoBo The Chicken back to Donald theft? #mickeymouseclubhouse #saveme #
- I just got shushed by the 3 yr old for talking during Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Happily putting myself in timeout. #
- Riding on arterials? http://t.co/SNvmxZ4i I took some helmet cam of a ride along Cornwall: http://t.co/IKRSuI8y @kitsilano #bikeyvr #
- Riding on bike routes? http://t.co/SNvmxZ4i I took some helmet cam of a ride along the Seaside rte: http://t.co/e7h4TMNh @kitsilano #bikeyvr #
- OMG, the geekery. Dualing cellos, Star Wars style. http://t.co/cMNAY66G #
- *dueling cellos. Awesome, the typo guarantees retweets :facepalm: #
- XBOX UPDATE WENT PRETTY SMOTHLY #
- Ha. Xbox update went pretty smoothly, but tweeting from it was full of fail. #
- Hmmm. This seems to be a cross between Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, and Avatar. Who's the audience? http://t.co/9IDs5Tap #
- Showing rows 0 – 29 (1,995,381 total, Query took 0.4324 sec) #liesmysqltoldme #
- Whew. Finally got through Monday's to-do list. now what? #
- The overwhelming religiosity that has permeated the culture of participants in Survivor is shocking. No room for non-Christians, at all. #
- Watching an old #mythbusters They did the Monty Hall Paradox. 20 contestants, *none* switched. #mathfail #
- Understanding of *basic* statistics in the general population is abysmal. #mathfail Also? How did they find 20 ppl who didn't know the MHP? #
- Just heard the #cbcsting @CBCEarlyEdition (under the weather) #
- Really Twitter? Really? Why are all the web services changing their interfaces to make things I want to do *harder*? #
- To view a list, I now have to click "Me", "Lists", the list name, and then "Tweets". Seriously? Why not just kill lists and have done w/ it? #
- Also, apparently no way of marking all direct messages (once you find them) as read at one time. #
- .@stepc "Me", "View your profile", scroll down to bottom, select "Favourites". Intuitive, no? #
- 3 yr old wanted edamame for bedtime snack. Who am I to say no? What a very different childhood this kid is having compared to me. #
- Hey all you Nickelback haters: You should hate a little less now. http://t.co/CAVB0UYy #
- With #newtwitter emphasizing "real names", how will people remember what Twitter ID to type when they want to @ people? #
- Related: now that real names are emphasized in #newtwitter who are all these people in my stream!? #
- *Really* Vancouver? 41% think uncaged dogs should be allowed on Transit? Are you f'ning nuts!? http://t.co/Svkl6VVS #
- Today's ride was characterized by very deliberate, slow turns. #icy #bikeyvr #
- Um, yeah. RT @VanCourierNews: In cycling: Scofflaw cyclist makes herself look bad http://t.co/5BpWn5I6 #bikeyvr #themvsus #ownworstenemy #
- Erm, wow. @VanRealDeal follows Joni Mitchell with Thomas Dolby. #otc #
- OK folks, heading out soon. What are the side-streets like in Kits? Slippery? Dry? Do I need to put on the armour? #bikeyvr #
- I wonder if guests who call @CBCStephenQuinn "Steve" realize they get put on the "naughty" list? #OTC #
- Just got a txt about 3 bikes crashing on the Off-Broadway hill heading down past Trimble Park. Guess I'll walk down. #bikeyvr #icy #
- Well that was fun. Lots of frost & black ice on the Pt Grey & Kitsilano bike routes. Add to it the awful street lighting. #bikeyvr #
- #bikeyvr RT @gnb: Very cold, slow, never-wracking ride home from work. #
- The sounds of vegan gingerbread simulacrums being born is coming from the kitchen … and it's not pretty. #
- So, how's everyone's Decembeard coming along? #
- Sometimes I wish I could intentionally do this to my hair #bedhead http://t.co/2XmgdQsJ #
- Vancouverites, if it's not foggy where you are (damnit!) we're in the middle of a lunar eclipse RIGHT NOW. #
- In fact, if you can see both the western and eastern horizons, between 7:55 and 8:05 you will see both sunrise & partially eclipsed moon! #
- But, you ask, how can we see both the sun, and the eclipsed moon? Atmospheric lensing. See: http://t.co/SRxKSFjU #
- Sadly, in Fairview we can't see the sky due to fog. #eclipsefail Mind you we can't see the horizons either. #urbancanyon #
- Ha! RT @castlemischief: @AnthonyFloyd Cryptozoological faux pas! I'll have our diplomatic attaché send you a barrel of kudzu monkeys & grits #
- Lingering cold is lingering. #
- .@aidanfloyd's school subscribes to @tumblebooks and he's spent all morning on the site. I'm very impressed with it! #
- Hair today, gone … uh, today. Bed-head-begone! http://t.co/P68d4Oby #
- Just put Q to bed, 2 hrs early. What could possibly go wrong? #screwed #
- Smothering gingerbread men with cream cheese icing. I can barely hear them scream. #
- Rocking out with mic and guitar on Rock Band 3 interrupted by the return of others home. I guess I'll spare them the aural abuse. #
- Ah, that's better. The kids solved the "they're being too quiet, I wonder what they're up to" problem by screaming at each other. #
- In other news, Aidan wants to celebrate Hanukkah because playing dreidel is fun, and you get chocolate coins. #
- And Quinlan tried to pierce his ear with the aquapick this morning. It's just gone 9 am and I'm ready to go back to bed. #
- "It looks like there's going to be *so much science*!" #ubc @ Hebb Theatre http://t.co/xi9CU0Br #
- Mouse trap chain reaction demonstration! @ Hebb Theatre http://t.co/le6fOnTh #
- .@polarisdotca gets a hearty round applause for defying gravity. #ubc #faradayoutreach #
- Dr. Sarah Burke blows up some balloons right good. @ Hebb Theatre http://t.co/CLglU4yb #
- I sense @polarisdotca's work here @ Hebb Theatre http://t.co/EIkOxbgZ #
- Time to go downstairs, climb a ladder, and retrieve our XMas decorations from atop the storage unit. One of these days, this will go poorly. #
- Survived the ladder trips to the top of the storage locker for another year. Yay, me. #
- Now to assemble the tree #condoliving #
