Twitter Weekly Updates for 2012-07-23
- Damnit, missed this! “@karlwoll: Wowza! Vancouver Aurora Borealis (with Video) – http://t.co/DES9XLi2†#
- Today’s #asshat index in Vancouver is EXTREME. Citizens are advised that extreme asshattry has been observed and is ongoing. #bikeyvr #
- In other news, sticky-road syndrome is upon us again as the chestnut (?) trees bleed on to the road. #bikeyvr #trimblepark #
- Related: bike jocks on the west side will be griping about rolling resistance. See previous #asshat advisory. #bikeyvr #
- MT @Garossino: OH: Opposition to bike lanes would decrease if cyclists could stifle the sanctimony. Agree or disagree? #vanpoli #bikeyvr #
- After getting today’s SITREP from @GwenFloyd, I’m recommending another stripe AND a Meritorious Service Decoration. #threeishard #
- That game of Mastermind with my 7 yr old was somewhat less than a draw in his favour. :o #
- This looks like an updated "Lunar Lander": NASA’s Next Mars Rover “Lands†on Xbox Kinect http://t.co/2Zk4neYo #
- Awesome ride in today. Great weather, lots of bikes. For every crazy day, there are at least 10 good ones. #GlaresAtMonday #bikeyvr #
- I don't know the problem with @theprovince's editorial board, but they continue to spew out the least informed anti-bike drivel #bikeyvr #
- This: http://t.co/a32BQGFI is what I'm referring to. Hey @Garossino, I think the sanctimony isn't confined to cyclists #bikeyvr #
- And, SERIOUSLY @theprovince? Running a web poll "Should cyclists be banned from city streets?" What an embarrassment. #bikeyvr #
- Of course, the real embarrassment is that 43% of respondents to that web poll say bikes *should* be banned from Vancouver streets #bikeyvr #
- .@stepc It's essentially anonymous trolling, but with a big soapbox. #
- Today's Vancouver Sun: No bikes on sidewalks http://t.co/Fb5JKMfo + today's Province: No bikes on roads http://t.co/rDiflZSm #bikeyvr #
- The no-bikes-on-sidewalks I agree with but I guess it's clear that Postmedia doesn't think bikes have any place in the city at all. #bikeyvr #
- Remind me again why newspapers are dying? Oh, right. #
- Kate MacNamara, telling it like it is: "We've had enough with public apologies! They're stupid!" #otc #
- The reddit thread is more interesting than the Mashable overview, though: http://t.co/DVA70zJF (h/t @ProvidentMike) #
- Interesting. The Province changed their web poll to be somewhat less anti-bike: http://t.co/klXy21sf #bikeyvr #
- Asshat drivers like BC 091 SKT are why cyclists feel threatened riding even on the bike routes in Vancouver http://t.co/RikjDRdQ #bikeyvr #
- .@buzzbishop I was driving where it was safe. 1) Parked cars, 2) Rough road/seams, 3) Upcoming left turn #
- .@buzzbishop In particular, I had just pulled out to go around a parked car and was not going to dip back in before the next one. #
- .@findchico Notice that I pulled around parked car? Also, after subsequent ridge, I ride left to avoid big concrete seam + allow left turn. #
- .@findchico In short, yes. That's the safest way to handle that stretch of road. Notice asshat passed me just *after* I avoided parked car? #
- Whoa. Apparently there was a Dr Who marathon on Space. The PVR has suddenly recorded two seasons’ worth! #rosetyler #badwolf #
- And then, a guy rode up on a scooter in a bath robe and sisal rope sandals #vancouver http://t.co/w8Xout4j #
- Latex: Needlessly complicated for four decades. :headdesk: #
- Found out why the bike room at work has been so empty recently: the major tenant, Cardiome Pharma reduced their work force from 100 to 8! #
- Wow, after a year MIA, Magazine Man posts something Somewhere on the Masthead. A sudden surprise in my feed reader! http://t.co/9ufEqiJr #
- “Northwest Passage†on World Report this morning. Nice. #stanrogers #
- OH: No one wants the blanket of doom! #
- With the Reyat appeal dismissed, one of the most embarrassing episodes in Canadian legal history is brought to a close. #airindia #
- For some reason this made me think of @andrewctenor and @gpsforthebrain: Tonal-calibrated wine glasses http://t.co/stmKQbgd (via @Ng_Dave) #
- Performance in the Park with GoGo Bonkers @ Douglas Park http://t.co/FfkPeKA8 #
- OH: You can get lime disease from kissing rocks. #
- Headline of the day: RT @CBCNS: Tall ship sails into Halifax 9 years after sinking http://t.co/7EUQrDZ0 #
- Instagram. So many cats. #
- For the second time this week, reddit has a better summary than any other news source http://t.co/7y2b77tQ (via @July_Sv) #theatershooting #
- So I guess this means metal detectors and TSA-like searches coming soon to a theater near you? #Theatershooting #securitytheatre #
- Warm, but periodic heavy downpours. Hmmm, what to wear for today's ride to work? #bikeyvr #
- Decided wet < hot, went with minimal rain gear. Wet, but not suffering heatstroke. #winning #bikeyvr #
- RT @IsCool: In one year, GUNS murdered
35 in Australia,
39 in England and Wales,
200 in Canada, and
9,484 in the United States. # - <wince> RT @Lazin_Ryder: So here’s the next episode of “Dear Brand, You’re Now Done on the Internet†http://t.co/LDn9nIku #
- Serious q: do we need this? RT @keithbaldrey: We (Global BC) have just got CRTC approval for a 24/7 news station. On the air in January. #
- I mean with endless, repetitive national "24/7" "news" programming, what on earth will a regional 24/7 news channel bring us? #
- I don't know if this is real or not, but it paints a heart-wrenching picture of health care in the US: http://t.co/vviCb5Te #
- Watching planes take off while waiting for Sean @ Flight Path Park http://t.co/0aQENr0v #
- Sigh. Pukey kid is sure hard on car seats. Made his uncle Sean's stopover visit memorable. #
- And now we enter the stuck-at-home portion of the day while Q naps. #
- Heading to check out @khatsalano but first, water break http://t.co/1jVU0PVB #
- .@khatsalano festival in @kitsilano #yvr http://t.co/ZbAR2Ib7 #
- Both boys just had cotton candy for the very first time. There’s no going back now. #
- You don't seem this everyday. I hope. @ Khatsalano Street Festival http://t.co/10dmOsec #
- Taking the kids to the night market tonight because I’m suffering sunstroke or something. Anyone else going? #yvr #richmond #nightmarket #
- The bass and drum duo have been playing the Transformers theme for 5 mins now @ Richmond Night Market http://t.co/skVi3XBo #
- Maybe not quite as pretty as the Fairmont Whistler, but good all the same! http://t.co/7ijuD79D #
- .@vancitychic It’s funny how people stopped in no stopping zones never think it applies to them. I wonder who they *do* apply to? #bikeyvr #
- They call it The Drive because there’s nowhere to park… #
- Blue Imp @ Victoria Park http://t.co/RJt5YtFT #
