  • I think I might try my first solid food of the day. Soon. #
  • Q up and sick at 12:30. A up and sick at 3:30. In the past 36 hrs I've had some of apple juice & 2 pieces of toast. Fun? Not so much. #
  • You know that feeling where you can't tell if you're hungry or nauseated? Riskiest decision of the day coming up. #
  • Poor @CBCStephenQuinn always sounds so uncomfortable when @lazinryder makes him talk about video games #otc #
  • Wow, Q is so hyper I swear he's been smoking meth. The Tasmanian Devil has nothing on this kid right now. #
  • Sounded to me that the Vancouver Park Board Chair Aaron Jasper admitted that they're not capable of enforcing their own bylaws. #otc #
  • Why have smoking/dog bylaws in Vancouver if the city's not willing to enforce them? Seems pointless to me. #otc #vanpoli #
  • Dear paramours: my wife has my phone tonight. Please try to restrain yourselves until tomorrow. #
  • Cool, the #geomonsterball was certified "Mega" today! #geocaching #
  • Still feeling like crap. Maybe this Coffee Crisp will help? #chocolatemakeseverythingbetter #
  • Watching the Vancouver mayoral debate on CBC. The headsets makes them look like telemarketers. An apt comparison. #
  • Wait, is Suzanne Anton *already* mayor? No? Then why is she saying "as mayor I am …"!? #delusionsofgrandeur #vanpoli #
  • This streetcar that @suzanneanton is pushing seems like it's going to solve all our woes. Uh … really? #vanpoli #vanelxn #cbcdebate #
  • More *houses* for more people? @suzanneanton We don't need *houses* we need homes. #vanelxn #vanpoli #cbcdebate #
  • #cbcdebate #vanpoli #vanelxn There seems to be *no* plan for middle-income families. Only for low-income. What about the middle class? #
  • #cbcdebate #vanpoli #vanelxn Densification is important but needs to be balanced. Where are the 3+ bdrm units? Why only 1 & 2 bdrm condos? #
  • Surprised Anton didn't bring up Happy Planet moving to Burnaby. #vanelxn #cbcdebate #vanpoli #
  • I wonder if this 9 yr old marathoner wants to go to Iceland @buzzbishop http://t.co/peXMI835 #
  • Over-the-air update of iPhone from 5.0 to 5.0.1: success. Total time: about 15 minutes. #thefutureisnow #
  • Anyone else having problems getting DM notifications? Not getting anything: Boxcar, Twitter, or txt msg from Twitter. #
  • The family is officially puke free for over 24 hrs. #winning #
  • Finally finished A Dance With Dragons and now The Alloy of Law is out. Good timing fantasy writers! #
  • Crazy weather, crazy contrast. #nofilter http://t.co/vOYDsHvX #
  • Sorry, which province? http://t.co/Uvopmv4B #
  • It's been quite a week for local nerdom. The new NCIX on Broadway had a large line-up at 8:30 this morning. #yvr #
  • Going to hit the Trains 2011 exhibition in Burnaby this afternoon. Anyone want to join us? http://t.co/84J8SkZh #
  • The kids are re-enacting the Black Plague in the living room. Repeatedly. Watch for zombies on Granville Island in a few hours. #
  • Model train exhibition http://t.co/eukNsIe0 #
  • This layout has a *working* drive in theatre! http://t.co/aAaIX7D4 #
  • More model trains http://t.co/ovyS2yMN #
  • Took my first pass through the upcoming civic election ballot. 1 mayor, 10 cllrs, 7 parks board, 9 school board. #vanpoli #
  • Had too many people picked for councillor, struggled to make it to 9 for school board. Looking at affiliations, it's a weird mix. #vanpoli #
  • But my list isn't written in stone. Vancouver civic election candidates, you have 5 days to get me to change my list. Go! #vanpoli #vanelxn #
Anthony on , 07 Nov 2011 08:15 am
  • The Google Doodle of the day always links to a search that includes coverage of the Google Doodle as one of its top hits. This needs a name. #
  • Whoa. Bowen Island mayoral interviews/debate on CBC just turned nasty. @CBCEarlyEdition #
  • RT @kitsilano: Should cyclists be licensed? http://t.co/EiHIXhiv cc: @stv #
  • A nice, dry day to start Bike to Work Week! http://t.co/xKWmvmWW #btww #vacc #bikeyvr #
  • Wind rips the leaves off // like arms from a zombie // Happy Hallowe'en #twaiku #
  • Ride safely folks RT @Stv: Can't stop shaking. Was inches from being pulverized by a truck running a red, Broadway & Ontario. #btww #bikeyvr #
  • Oh look! The @kitsilano post on licensing cyclists has brought out the anti-cyclist rants. Full of fallacies & misconceptions. Fun times! #
  • Pet "peeve": People who "think" that quotes "should" be used in bizarre "ways". Just write in all caps, please, so I don't even try to read. #
  • I'm not sure I understand reasons for building new schools when kids are in danger fr quakes in existing old schools cc: @CBCStephenQuinn #
  • I mean, $310M for new schools … and how much more to speed up the EQ rehabilitation process in existing schools? cc: @CBCStephenQuinn #
  • Let's do this thing http://t.co/iPpoSHC2 #
  • Scary pumpkin! http://t.co/Zc6ZNqG7 #
  • Lots of kids at the co-op tonight. Most places running out now (7:30)! #
  • The eyes have it http://t.co/Ufo686V5 #
  • .@findchico Mostly. @GwenFloyd made most of the robot costume (except the head, which @AidanFloyd won at … the CBC) and …1/2 #
  • .@findchico … @AidanFloyd's costume was a mix of bought pieces and home-made (or modified) 2/2 #
  • Now to get the kids to go to sleep before the fireworks get too loud #weirdhalloweentraditions #
  • Nuts. Someone messed with my alarm clock and today was one of those rare days didn't wake before the alarm. #
  • Hoser, eh? RT @BobSongs: @RodSmelser That just frosts my canoe ! #
  • That was a perfect sans-gear landing. Amazing that the engines stay on. #
  • Seriously Google? First Reader gets moved from the toolbar, then the UI gets overhauled, and now "An error has occurred" all the time. #
  • I guess bit rot is setting in. Time to export my feeds to some other aggregator. #reader #
  • Post on "Why cyclists do bad things" gets insightful discussion. Post on "Licenses for cyclists" gets vitriol. Huh? http://t.co/JbH7pIQv #
  • This is hilarious: Sports anchor Barry Deley of @GlobalBC wins lottery home live on air http://t.co/32qPbfUX (via @miss604) #
  • Older cousin just asked me for contact details by email. Kudos to her, but can't she just stalk me on Twitter like the rest of you? #
  • Sigh. Kid opened with "I don't want to go to school today" and followed up with low grade temperature. Hmmm, might have to believe him today #
  • Anyone know of network infrastructure problems in Vancouver? We're having some routing problems that no one has owned yet. #
  • 23+ mins on hold with UBC IT services. They're giving Shaw a good run for responsiveness. #
  • Good lord. @GwenFloyd has had *another* bank card compromised. The Interac system and retailers need to get their shit together. #
  • Kate is waaay better than gEdit. Amiright? #musingswhilewaitingforcodetocompile #
  • Yup, @CBCStephenQuinn and @cbcfoxman are doing a good job at inspiring the take-your-kids-to-work kids. #ill #otc #
  • Just got called by the Vision Vancouver campaign. A real person, not a robo-dial! Lots of calls from NPA, no real ppl yet. #vanpoli #
  • Aidan has been asleep since 5pm. I wonder what the chances of him sleeping through the night are. #
  • So sick kid, asleep since 5pm woke at 2am. Wonder how likely it is that I'll get back to sleep now. Thank goodness for Vintage Radio. #
  • My name is Friday. Dun-da-dun-dunt. #
  • Bike to work week this fall has been great. Out of 6 legs so far, only one has been wet. 2 days left! #btww #bikeyvr #
  • The Glines Canyon Dam is slowly being removed on the Olympic Peninsula: http://t.co/qWOcdli6 http://t.co/iYu7lNLz http://t.co/Q8TryCHs #
  • Who knew? Hadn't heard anything about the project until just tonight. Quite an ambitious project! #
  • Apparently the streets are icy for the last day of Bike To Work Week. Keep the rubber side down folks! #BTWW #bikeyvr #
  • Brrrr, that was a chilly ride. Black ice all through Kits. And motorists? Clear your windows. Driving while fogged/iced is STUPID. #dumbass #
  • Thank goodness for insulated riding gear. #icewhine #
  • Most bike friendly city in North America? Sorry Portlanders, it's Montreal. http://t.co/bmFZpTLM As a former Montrealer, I fully agree #
  • (last link was via @BLAH_CITY. Whom you should follow.) #
  • It's a Van Halen sort of morning. #
  • The NPA's #occupyvancouver position about to backfire. How do they propose safely removing people who don't recognize authority of VPD/VFRS? #
  • Wow, they're *not* the 99%. RT @unambig: For a good laugh, here are the Occupy Vancouver list of demands: http://t.co/Uq3gMpIp (pdf) #
  • NPA's #occupyvancouver position abt to backfire. How do they propose safely removing tents of ppl who don't recognize authority of VPD/VFRS? #
  • Commentary about the NPA's position updated to more accurately represent what they have said thx to @CityCaucus #
  • The point remains. The #occupyvancouver ppl are not going to sit idly by while tents are forcibly removed. To think otherwise is naive. #
  • .@charenton_ Hey look! An ad hominem attack! Thanks, hadn't met my quota today. #
  • WTF? #occupyvancouver #039;s list of demands includes "release of all non-violent prisoners" & "independent investigation into 9/11" #
  • Who do they think they are, the BEP? Super Bowl & Grey Cup!? RT @hosea24hours: Nickelback to play the Grey Cup halftime show in Vancouver. #
  • Just once I'd like Nick or Sally's mother to show some common sense and say they can't go to the Drippity-Dry Desert or wherever. @kidscbc #
  • .@garymasonglobe on @suzanneanton's plan to remove #OccupyVancouver protesters: "It's preposterous, of course" http://t.co/VJIEdlVk #vanpoli #
  • Seem to have overlooked something in the parenting handbook. Neither kid has ever had Jello, won't touch it now that they're both sick. #
  • Although, before @citycaucus corrects me again, I believe @suzanneanton has only said she'd remove the *tents*, not the ppl #vanpoli #
  • Although, I'm not sure that "removing the tents" will be viewed any differently than "removing the protesters" in practice #vanpoli #
  • Sigh. 3rd set of PJs today for @QuinlanFloyd. Being sick isn't much fun for anyone. #
  • So, uh, anyone know what the Vancouver Apple Stores' stock of iPhones is like? #
  • Good news is truck wasn't stolen. Towed from residential street after being 2 hrs in violation. No outstanding tix. WTMF!? #
  • OMG Superstore. My lane and both side have cashiers who are confused and on their phones. #frustrated #
  • My superhero talent is finding the slowest checkout lanes. And if I switch to yours, despair! #frustrated #
  • Woke sick child, asking if he wanted supper. Apparently he wants another 2 hrs on his nap. This bodes … poorly. #
  • Hey Vancouverites, keep an eye out for @neilhimself tonight, he's wifeless and adventuring downtown. #yvr #
  • Just checked the #bcga forums. Shouldn't have bothered. #flamewars #notsofun #geocaching #
  • "You can't change the amount of sunlight hours no matter what you set your clock to." #daylightsavingbs cc: @castlemischief #
  • This "About the new look" pop-up is driving me nuts. It keeps coming back. #gmail #
  • For those keeping count, the counts are: 4 changes of PJs, 3 changes of bedding, 1 towed vehicle, 1 laundered phone. #suckitsaturday #
  • I've written and deleted at least 10 tweets tonight. If I don't head to bed I'm going to really start pissing people off #suckitsaturday #
  • I knew that Whole Foods was going to be nothing but trouble MT @ScanBC: VPD investigating a shooting on the street at 7th & Ash st #
  • Things they don't tell you about parenting part 153: When a child complains "That's not funny!", it's guaranteed to be at least a little bit #
  • Huh. #9 bus EB on Broadway has "Sorry, bus full". 5:15 on a Sunday. WTF? @translink #
  • .@gwenfloyd on her way to the Evening wiith @amandapalmer and @neilhimself http://t.co/NQ2dhYqr #

  • I'm sure the Steve Jobs biography is interesting, but it's not $18 eBook interesting. #
  • +1 RT @Stv: @CityCaucus It suffers the same problem Carol James always had: it sounds whiny & petulant, not solution-based. #
  • Happy Birthday @StacieBee! ♫ http://t.co/4J93KFGU #
  • RT @CBCStephenQuinn: The person setting off illegal fireworks in the park across the street is making the illegally off-leash dogs go nuts. #
  • Can somebody in Vancouver point me to roads that are "conflicted" and "congested" because of bikes!? http://t.co/l1f5VrzJ @adrianecarr #
  • I mean, I support the idea of make arterial roads less congested and conflicted: Eliminate left-hand turns except in turn bays. #
  • Banning bike from certain roads won't a) work, or b) be effective. Particularly if reasonable alternatives are not provided. #
  • Just watched Nightline piece on wife carrying. I think I've found a new calling. Lock up your wives. #

  • 3 year old opening presents: Utter chaos, utter joy. #
  • Frost on the windshields through the Kits valley this morning. Glad I don't have to scrape the bike. #bikeyvr #
  • Frustration: constant interruptions while trying to code. They don't realize how long it takes to get back into the zone. #
  • Oh no. Just included on an email that has 127 other names in the To: field. That should be grounds for being permanently banned fr internet! #
  • And those people who hit "Reply All" to an email with 127 names in the To: field should be administered electric shocks on clicking "Send" #
  • Dear team: When making fundamental changes to constants in source code, please comment the change so hours aren't wasted later :headdesk: #
  • The sickness is spreading. "Known health risks"!? RT @CBCVancouver: Health fears prompt Wi-Fi shutdown in B.C. school http://t.co/4INe8CTV #
  • My latest theory is that people are so overwhelmed by technology, it's become magic. And as a result they lose their ability to reason. #
  • The other option I'm force to consider is that some people are a bizarre combination of paranoid and stupid. #
  • Now, eliminating WiFi from schools because … well, what do kids need wifi for in school? … I'm all for that. But silly health concerns!? #

  • Now, off to the GeoMonster Ball! #geocaching #
  • Back a bit early from the GeoMonster Ball. Was very packed, Q got overstimulated and phobic of one particular geomonster #geocaching #
  • Oh hotel WiFi, how fickle thy connectivity. #
  • Finished logging all our cache finds today (50! With both kids!) but the hotel wifi is driving me bonkers, so … LOS #geocaching #

  • Despite the confusion, Shaw actually called back in under 30 mins. *And* the online chat managed to work too. I was actually over serviced. #
