  • RT @FakeSteveHarper: Went to Zoo Bar w/ Sarkozy last night and got totally blitzed. Missed morning photo today as a result. Ugh. Head hurts. #
  • The Improv Everywhere “Best Funeral Ever”: hoax. CW11 (TV) watched, reported as fact on news w/o any calls, fact-checking. Whither j. integ? #
  • Continuing the embarrassment he heaps on the country, Harper missed the G20 group photo. BBC ridicules him for “being in the loo”. #
  • The real story about the Harper G20 photo gaffe is probably that Fox News asked him for an impromptu interview and his ego couldn’t resist. #
  • Car cuts off dumptruck going thru traffic circle. #dumb Pickup goes wrong way thru same traffic circle at same time. #dumber #tryingtokillme #
  • Dear $ENGINEERING_COMPANY, your all-Flash website is *extremely* annoying. #
  • RT @Stv: Jesus! http://is.gd/qlEx – Keira Knightly’s stop domestic violence PSA. [Wow, that’d never air in Canada!] #
  • BBM radio ratings are out. @cbcvancouver is touting their #1 morning show. @buzzbishop is touting @virgin953’s #1 morning show. Uh, what? #
  • #adoption @herbadmother Seeking brother, b. 1963, potentially adopted by BC couple LARSEN. Please contact if you have any leads! #
  • Well this is going to be quite the game. Wellwood scores, 2-2 #canucks #

  • Holy massive hail storm. Welcome to April, Vancouver. #
  • The @VancouverSun reports UBC has lost class-action over parking tickets. Towing, but not fines, permitted! http://is.gd/q5be #
  • And now, heavy snow in Vancouver (Fairview). Very funny, ha-ha, right. I *wish* it was an April Fish joke. #
  • Snow accumulating on the ground at UBC. Still not a joke. #
  • As I was parking at work today (on UBC campus) I wondered about the parking ticket ruling. Will we see Euro-style parking boots now? #
  • DeLorme updates PN-Series GPS devices with Tuppahware detector! http://twurl.nl/z44j4l [via @CacheAdvance] #gc #geocaching #
  • Silicon Graphics (SGI) has declared bankruptcy + was sold to Rackable Systems. A computing giant goes out with a whimper. http://is.gd/q6Sn #
  • Watching Mercer rerun. It’s downright criminal that the #ZENN car isn’t legal everywhere in Canada. http://www.zenncars.com/ #

  • Finished my summary of the Tailspin Geo Rally II: http://is.gd/pNIt In short, it was *awesome* #vancouver #gc #geocaching #
  • RT @AnthonyFloyd: My summary of the Tailspin Geo Rally II: http://is.gd/pNIt In short, it was *awesome* #vancouver #gc #geocaching #
  • Got mail yesterday from @JackLayton (NDP leader), addr’d directly to us. Got mail yesterday from @HedyFry (our MP) “to occupant”. WTF? #fail #
  • The actor who played Lorne on Angel (Andy Hallett) died yesterday (heart disease) at 33. #
  • Uh-oh. Lights are flickering. How long before the power drops completely? #
  • <shameless promo> Thanks for asking @gillianshaw! In fact, I did write about the Tailspin Geo Rally II here: http://is.gd/pNIt #geocaching #

  • 5 hours sleep last night, woken by nauseated 4 yr old, pukey 5 mo old. I wonder how fun today will be? #
  • Wrote a 3400 word blog post last night. I remember when numbers like that would have been impossible for essays. Now all it takes is 4 hr :o #
  • RT @torbooks: From Dragonmount: A MEMORY OF LIGHT to be released in 3 volumes. + Release date http://bit.ly/Skgz #
  • Ugh. So that means “The Wheel of Time” series (Robert Jordan) will run 14 volumes! #
  • Mighty pleased with how the Oregon performed at the georally this weekend. Walked right up to all but one of the caches. #gc #geocaching #
  • Erg, I’ve been replying to myself. #
  • Today’s code is brought to you by The Pet Shop Boys. I wonder how my choice of music affects my coding style from day to day… #
  • I’ve got to agree with @CrunchyCarpets here. Vancouver does not know how to do unifying events. First Night 2000 was a disgrace #
  • Halifax, St Johns, Montreal, Ottawa all do public concerts, festivals 100x better than Vancouver. #
  • Vancouver does clique well as well as expensive. Fireworks and Chinese NY are the only large community bldg events that seem to “work” #
  • Agreed @brendonjwilson . Very fragmented. Downtown has its own culture. Kits has its own. Chinatown has its own. Kerrisdale has its own. #
  • Especially for families there’s very little “city-building” cheap and fun festivals or concerts. The Children’s Fest? Folk fest? Too $$$ #
  • Heck, Surrey does community events better than Vancouver. Children’s Fest, Fusion Fest, Winter Fest, etc. Cheap, fun for family, accessible. #
  • RT @IanKing: Can’t say it any better: Filth. http://is.gd/pMMh [PEOPLE pay ATTENTION. This is what happens when you vote the Cons in!] #
  • When did “double hooker” become such a common phrase at our home? #NotWhatYouThink #ThomasTheTankEngine #
