  • 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 #

  • Did you see how well Vancouver did on #earthhour last night? I took during/after photos: http://twitpic.com/2kcl5 #
  • The Pirate Party is almost ready. Went out an bought a 1×10 this morning, test drove it by making the 4 yr-old walk the plank. Yarr! #
  • Birthday-party-boy is in bed, early. Not soon enough. Now, writing Taiilsping GeoRally II blog post. Doing up the maps takes time. #

  • It’s Rally day! I’ll be AFK for the whole day getting wet + lost in the woods looking for Tupperware. Good luck @BrandonBell #geocaching #gc #
  • Just heard an MP3 decoding “blip” on CBC radio. I wonder how much music they play has been converted to MP3? #cbc #radio #NorthByNorthwest #
  • Tailspin Rally complete. We finished 1st but due to bonus system won’t know final rank for 3 hrs! #gc #geocaching #
  • Back from Tailspin GeoRally. 11 caches over 90 km. Had 3rd best raw time, but b/c we were the 1st car thru we missed the “tattle” bonuses :( #
  • http://twitpic.com/2kag3 – Earth Hour, Vancouver, BC (Yaletown). Good job at turning out the lights! #
  • http://twitpic.com/2kahg – The public has really embraced Earth Hour here in Vancouver, BC (Yaletown). #earthhour #
  • http://twitpic.com/2kcl5 – Vancouver, BC (Yaletown) during #earthhour and after. The West Coast is the heart of green movement, clearly. #
  • http://twitpic.com/2kcl5 – On close inspection, I see the Hotel Vancouver turned out the lights illuminating their copper roof! #
  • Interestingly enough, although the Hotel Vancouver turned out their roof lights, the Wall Centre didn’t. #earthhour #
