Well crap. iPhone 4 doesn't support AWS (UMTS-IV) so no iPhone on @windmobile http://bit.ly/9zu8va #
We've been here 10 days now and Aidan has fallen out of bed 3 times so far. No injuries, and he doesn't remember in the morning, but UGH. #
Ha! Just heard a Gaga song on the radio and thought "When did Annie Lennox release a new pop album?" #
Ad fr the Australian Transport Accident Commission (vid, runs 5+ min) http://youtu.be/Z2mf8DtWWd8 Couldn't watch it all. #DontDrinkAndDrive #

Uh, is it me or is Gaga "Alejandro"'s hook a ripoff of Madonna's "La Isla Bonita"? Need a mashup… #
Too cute. 19 month old Q does the popping sound for @BobsandLoLo's Raindrop Pop (currently on Treehouse) #
RT @CBCPolitics: Senior insiders with LPC and NDP are in secret talks about possibly merging their parties, CBC News has learned #cdnpoli #
Really? "Senior insiders" and "secret talks"? Doesn't seem so secret. Or reliable. Someone's floating a balloon methinks. #cdnpoli #
RT @somecanuckchick: Ignatieff to be dumped, Rae in #1 and Layton in #2 spots in Lib-NDP party merger. #cdnpoli #
If Canada drops from Libs/PC/Reform/BQ/NDP/Green a few yrs ago to LibDems/Cons + BQ + Greens, do we end up w/ 2-party hell like US? #cdnpoli #
Plan for today: Sherbrooke Village http://bit.ly/9815cs #
Damn, none of my TwitPics came thru today #
Great day in Sherbrooke Village, now in Antigonish for supper (XMen represent!) #
At Sherbrooke Village http://twitpic.com/1ve1vi #
You know you're in Nova Scotia when … McDonalds has McLobsters! http://twitpic.com/1ve21r #
Of course, lobsters are going for $5/lb on the side of the road, so I'm sure there's ample supply for McD's #McLobster #
Photo from within Sherbrooke Village, a "living museum" in Nova Scotia http://twitpic.com/1vex0x #
Heading to the Lower Deck tonight around 8pm. Anyone want to join us? #OnAHalifaxPier #
Heading out to the Lower Deck. If you want to meet up, I'm the short stocky Irish-looking guy with a beard :D #WheresWaldo #OnAHalifaxPier #
Back from the Lower Deck with @LeftCoastMama @gpsforthebrain @auroranine and a few non-tweeting friends. Not quite as uncouth as I remember #
About to board the Harbour Hopper (at 3:15). They have a live webcam you can watch us on! #
Other than the occasional face-fulls of harbour water, had a great time on the Harbour Hopper #halifax #

I don't do #FF but thanks to @jessicers for the mention — turns out we were within spitting distance in Cole Harbour many moons ago! #
Last day in Halifax, heading out on a quasi-red-eye tonight. #WestJetTakeMeHome #
YVR, YYC, YHZ, and YYZ. Guess which one doesn't have free WiFi #TdotFail #
Back in Vancity. Although midnight feels like 4am due to time zone fun #screwed #
Well, I suppose 4:45am isn't _so_ bad. That's almost 4 hrs extra sleep. Almost. #
On the otherhand, @LeftCoastMama and 5 yr old didn't get up until 6:30. Hopefully we'll all get naps later this afternoon… #
Cool! In today's Province, @policemuseum gets a mention and @StacieBee gets a photo credit! #

Mornings on Twitter are weird on the East Coast. It seems like only @raincoaster is (still) up. #
Old haunts (near TUNS in Halifax) http://twitpic.com/1sus3h #
RT @gillianshaw: Wind Mobile launches in Vancouver June 3: http://ow.ly/1S9WP #
Caching in the rain in Cow Bay http://twitpic.com/1t2l1j #
Still caching, still raining. Getting damp. http://twitpic.com/1t2rot #
Bushed http://twitpic.com/1t2xcs #
Any Halifax tweeps interested in meeting up at the Lower Deck next Thursday? Us out-of-towners need to reminisce. And drink beer. #
Boy #1 falls out of bed, waking boy #2 who doesn't go back to sleep. That was 3 hours ago. #SleeplessInNS #
Almost forgot about @westjet's #WingletWednesday Taken as we were flying into YYC on Friday night heading to YHZ http://twitpic.com/1tew0z #
RT`@Zoeyjane Hoping this doesn't turn into "Young v. Board of Education" – http://is.gd/cAaaX (via @maria0305) #
Downside of being in Halifax now: Missed cool @policemuseum Tweetup last night, missing all the AWESOME @Velopalooza events coming up :( #
New Canadian DMCA bill introduced in the #HOC http://bit.ly/c2LMe1 Does this mean an election is imminent? #
Says @michaelgeist about the CDN copyright bill: "…the Canadian digital lock provisions are arguably worse than those found in the U.S." #
That's what the Cons give us after "public consultation", complete control to media producers *more* broken than the US DCMA. Thanks. #
It's pretty clear whose side the Cons are on, and it's not the Canadian public's side. #
Heading to Halifax. We're on a boat! http://twitpic.com/1tmie2 #
That pic should have sent 3 hrs ago. #GhettoPhoneFail #
RT @Velopalooza: http://schmap.it/xuba6q Velopalooza Tweetup Ride. Twitter users Bike Ride #
At Durty Nelly's in Halifax having a beer with a good friend http://twitpic.com/1toqbr #
Back from an Irish bar in Halifax (shocker, I know) where my friend and I were _under_ the average age in the bar. Somewhat shocked. #
RT @CBCStephenQuinn Confirmed: Mayor Gregor's twitter feed (@mayorgregor) hacked. #
Full day, including having fun at a mini-golf course designed to prevent you from having fun. #
Tonight, Ledaire family gathering. Many cousins, + other relatives we kept the kids out until 10pm. Hope that doesn't bite us in the ass. #
RT @GPSFix: New Garmin Oregon Beta allows you to filter caches on Type, Size, Difficulty, Terrain and status (Geocaches>Quick Filter) [yay!] #
Ugh. Kids to bed at 10pm … and up at 7am. Way to sleep-in guys. #ImGonnaPayForKeepingThemUpLate #
Managed to chase away the sunshine today by trying to go out and enjoy it. We've had one and two-half days' sunshine so far on our trip. #
Watching "The Princess and the Frog". Very much an old-skool Disney movie, and we're digging the N'Orleans jazz. Pleasantly surprised! #
RT @dancarrphoto: I have a canon 24-105mm f4 L IS for sale in whistler if anyone is wanting that lens DM me or e-mail me through my website. #
RT @Velopalooza: We are leaving for the Velopalooza tweetup in front of science world at 6:45! [Wish I were there :( ] #

The 19 month old is an enthusiastic nose-blower. His aim into the kleenex, however, needs work. #IveBeenSlimed #
Quinlan is gaining a word or so every day or two now. Yesterday was "Cheese!", today is "Dianthe" (one of our cats) #LanguageExplosion #
I love working holidays. No traffic. No distractions at work. Peaceful, easy feeling, ya know? #
You know the whole "Hell freezing over" thing? The Weather Network has forecast just that for YVR next week http://bit.ly/90nixb (-99?) #
RT @Zoeyjane: It's a beautiful day in the neighbourhood. It's also 'international adore @leftcoastmama' day. #
Ha, reactivated a cache yesterday that had been disabled for the Olympics (then the lack of a new ammo can) and it was found today. #
Double Exposure Radio! I had no idea. The power of Twitter brings you @doubleexradio #
RT @604homesguy: purge purge purge. It is the only way to survive living in a small space. #yvr [So true. And we're so bad at it] #
Joys of working for a small company: Just finished writing press release. Yes, I'm an engineer. I write good, though. :D #
And yes, I saw every single one of you PR/media types flinch when you read that tweet. #
RT @geowoodstock: LAST CALL for registrations! We'll be shutting down registrations tonight at 10pm (PDT) http://www.geowoodstock.com #
There are griefers everywhere :( RT @imfrog2002: Here's the photo I grabbed from the facebook page. http://twitpic.com/1qr9jf #geocaching #
On CBC tonight, The Fifth Estate has a documentary about 9/11 "Truthers". Interesting stuff. The stuff tinfoil hats are made of. #
Someone's been playing with the clone brush RT @vanmacguy: Quite the fleet. http://twitpic.com/1qt9y1 [via @zenFish #
Oooh, mtn-man is publishing! Maybe we'll get to show Vancouver how Well Hung we are :p #geocaching #
RT @tomdanielson: Always wear your helmet. Always. http://twitpic.com/1qtiqb #
Caches still being published, but not ours yet. mtn-man outlasts me tonight, gotta get to bed before the toddler gets up. #
Un-friggin-believable. Remember that former Ontario AG who drove a cyclist into a mailbox? Charges were dropped today. Unbelievable. #
Between Jaffer and Bryant, it sure *seems* that if you are a politician and in Ontario, you can do whatever the hell you want. #
Wet ride into work today. Good thing I know where my towel is. #TowelDay #SoLongAndThanksForAllTheFish #
RT @joanchang: Hey Abbotsfordians! CBC's Early Edition is coming out your way this Friday. We'd love you to come. http://tinyurl.com/2avtcum #
RT @johnnyabc: Has anyone noticed that NK is blank on Google maps (not Google Earth). There are maps of Iran, but nothing on NK at all. #
Maybe it was last night's documentary on 9/11 Truthers, but does absence of any labels in North Korea on Google Maps have any significance? #
Although the missing North Korea map data is apparently nothing new: http://bit.ly/aRQZda @jimwtodd @johnnyabc #
Take-away from the Bryant case? It's ok for politicians to drag aggressive cyclists w/ a car, to their death. Even if you're caught on video #
RT @gmarkham: Brilliant report on vaccine-autism issue & piss-poor job media do reporting scientific issues http://bit.ly/d3iaoj #
Have you seen the "graphic essay" abt anti-vaxxer Dr. Wakefield http://bit.ly/91petn ? His methods clear child abuse, the harm immeasurable. #
RT @seaforth100 http://bit.ly/cbHmOb Seaforth Highlanders Community Ceilidh on May 29th #
"Brad! <<He's always just around>>" #Glee #ThePianistMakesTheShowAwesome #BreakingTheForthWall #
What's up with all the old singers on American Idol? The judges tell the contestants to be contemporary then put this stuff in the finale? #
Ever notice how there are an awful lot of dead-end alleys in Sunnyvale? #BTVS #
Also, the whole "conservation of momentum" thing seems to be suspended in Sunnyvale #btvs #
Sigh. #BTVSFail Sunnydale. Not Sunnyvale. Pretty sure momentum is conserved in Sunnyvale, CA. #
Another day of waiting for our 7-cache series to get published. mtn-man, you're killing us here. #geocaching #
Our Well Hung series is *mostly* published! For some reason mtn-man has omitted the final cache in the series. E.g., http://bit.ly/afOAqS #
The cache that hasn't been published yet is the one that makes the rest make sense, and has big FTF prize. And took 1 hr to place. #
Oh well, it'll confound the FTF hounds. I'm ok with that :) #geocaching #
We're heading to Nova Scotia tomorrow for 2 weeks. Red-eye, hopefully the kids sleep. What? Stop laughing. #
Oh god. The guy in the states who shares my name is applying for more universities with the wrong email addx. I think it's on purpose now. #
RT @CacheAdvance: Ten B.C. getaways put escape within reach (including #geocaching http://bit.ly/cB7UFc #
One person FTF'd 4 of the 6 caches already this morning. 1 DNF'd, 1 not attempted. Wonder if someone else will beat her to the last 2. #
That's @jannarden on CBC Radio's Q right now. She's got a nice radio voice! #
All 6 of the published caches are found, FTFs split between 2 ppl. Had to go and do maintenance on one of them already, tho'. :( #
Q woke up at 11:45pm. It's almost 3am now, and he's still awake. This is *not* how to start a travel-to-NS day. #
Awesome, mtn-man published the last in our 'Well Hung' series this morning; http://coord.info/GC29217 #geocaching #
I wonder which of the 3 ppl who have already completed the series will get the FTF. My money's on Cuddlefish (if she grabbed the clues) #
And, sure enough, Jacqueline (aka Cuddlefish) grabbed the FTF on the puzzle cache this morning already. #geocaching #WellHung #
We connect thru Calgary tonight. Which has 20 cm of snow forecast today. We'll be in shorts and sandals. What could go wrong? #yyc #westjet #
RT @TheBadCop #GQotD #Geocaching Question of the Day: @AnthonyFloyd wants to know, have you ever removed a cache you felt was inappropriate? #
Crazy day continues. EMCON begins. #
Free YVR wifi rocks!. Done today: cache maintenance, field trip, privilege pass, kindergarten orientation, and getting to airport. Check. #
Next step, red-eye flight to Halifax. #
Made it to Calgary. No snow on the ground. Ya'll are just pulling our legs with the "snow in June" thing, right? #
Why yes, this seems to be Halifax. Sunshine and mid 20s today. No sleep at all on the flight for us. Aidan got 4.5 hrs, Q got 2. #MmmmBrains #
Found some in-stock Kobo Readers at Chapters today, at MicMac Mall, in Dartmouth. Picked up one for Gwen, one for my father. Most excellent. #

Playing Eat, Wear, or Throw? with my toddler, our daily breakfast game. I hardly ever win. #
Seattle. How the hell are ya? I'm still punch-drunk from the diesel fumes after sitting in the truck lineup at the border. For 2 hours. #
Had supper at "The Cheesecake Factory". It was as awesome as it sounds. Also, served 22 oz pints. #Seattle #
Ironically, had an awful time sleeping last night, despite the absense of children. #
May or may not have had cheesecake again tonight. Urp. #
I am *so* not built to be a booth babe. 2 days in and I've had enough of people for the month #
No cheesecake tonight. Will still need to be rolled across the border. Don't you guys know anything about portion control? #
Damnit, I see I'm missing all the good On The Coast shows this week @CBCStephenQuinn. Off-leash dogs? I bet that was an "interesting" piece #
Another half-day of booth duty, then I transform into a roadie, then a long-haul driver, then back to a Dad. Goodnight Seattle! #
Home. Happy to see everyone, seems feeling is reciprocated. Hopefully this ends my career as booth babe/roadie/customs agent/sales droid #
Seattle was its typical quirky self, but we didn't get to see much beyond the few blocks around the convention center. #
But the Washington State Trade + Convention Center? What a great bldg! There was a nursing conf going on alongside ours w/ room to spare. #
YVR folk: Recognize this girl? http://bit.ly/cBA1iT Found on the DTES w/o any caregiver… :'( #
RT @KenHardie: Any worthy protests set to close any major intersections today? The #160 and all who ride her could use a break. [rotfl] #
AWESOME. The doodle on http://www.google.com today is Pac-Man. And IT'S PLAYABLE! #
CBC is reporting that VPD has said that they've located the mother of that 3 yr old found wandering the DTES last night. No details yet. #
Seeing "Oracle VM VirtualBox" is more than weird. But the virtual disk speed improvements are great! #virtualbox #
Happiness is… biking to DQ http://twitpic.com/1pug1h #
Ibid http://twitpic.com/1pug2o #
While at the DQ at 13th/Main a beat up pickup truck pulled up and parked. In less than 5 mins, a meter maid ticketed and Buster's towed. o_O #
We left before the burly, devil-may-care guys who left their truck too close to the stop sign came back and discovered their truck gone. #
I wish the Vancouver traffic officers were that efficient on the bike routes — vehicles are always too close to the intersections there. #
Finale week continues. DVR gave up House, Castle, and The Mentalist tonight. Indulgences all. #
Huh. Just put Q down for a nap, he went w/o any fuss. Other members of family just got up. #NeverGoingToFigureOutThisSleepThing #
4 geocaches placed today, 3 more tomorrow. It's not all about finding them, you know. #
At the Phoenix Gymnastics Club for a birthday party http://twitpic.com/1q78tg #
RT @ShireenJ: For a ltd time, get Lifeliner for a measly $1.99 at Smashwords by entering coupon code TX53X at checkout. http://bit.ly/aNroTb #
Gwen's watching "The Body" episode of BTVS. How it didn't win any TV awards (it won a Nebula) is beyond me. Best hr of TV ever? No? Close. #
Watching TV (or a movie) with NO musical accompaniment is both bizarre and powerful. Adds to very raw feelings in the episode. #
Also? First on-screen kiss between Willow and Tara. Also? No. Big. Deal. #
One of *those* mornings. You know, where you're thinking about selling the kids and using the proceeds to move to Antarctica. #
2 more caches placed, 1 to go. This one needs special equipment #
7th geocache this wkend placed, took over an hour at GZ to get it right! #
Alright! Caches all submitted to GC.com. Now to wait with baited breath for mtn-man to review them. #
RT @gmarkham: Good grief. RT @nationalpost: Tories order aides not to testify in front of committees http://natpo.st/bsd2cS [Friggin tyrant] #
