• Happy Birthday Mom! #
• Naptime! #
• From avast's anti-virus update on my computer today: "avast me hearties, yar blacklist of dangerous sea dogs be safely aboard." #
• Tempted to work "isn't that a pip?" into everyday conversation. #
• It's a day ending in 'y'. This means my neighbours are rattling my dishes with their subwoofer again. #
• Also fuck you iPhone, I live in Canada. It's "neighbour", not "neighbor". #
• Holy shit if I change the "hardware keyboard" setting to "English – UK" the dictionary changes. Like that's obvious. Stupid Apple. #
• I don't like /Dune/, but I like what it's done for music. See e.g. Astral Projection and Fatboy Slim. #
• RT @mattobee Keep off the Twitter website for the moment folks: http://bit.ly/aasdU1 #
• Cats and humans share a common ancestor 98 million years old. #
• Canucks on the radio! #

• It's awesome how hazmat is pretty much permanently stationed across the street from work. #
• To all y'all: does anybody know my address from when I lived on 31st Street in Keaau? #
• Elizabeth likes oatmeal. She finished her bowl then proceeded to eat four more huge spoonfuls from my bowl. She also knows the word "more". #
• If you're gay and sexually active, get tested for HIV. Hell, get tested regardless of sexual orientation. http://bit.ly/brJlp8 #
• Happy fall equinox! #
• Just walked past a guy on Burrard who totally looked like K'Naan. @iamknaan, are you still in Vancouver? #
• We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams. #
• Picking up a @thecarcoop car to drop Elizabeth off with my brother for the night, then off to @bardonthebeach for Much Ado closing night! #

  Oh, American football. How quaint. #cflisbetter #

• Cable management project foiled by a lack of masking tape. Argh! #
• "Society" by Edmonton group DVAS is awesome. If Daft Punk had sex with a disco ball you'd get DVAS. #
• Well that was unexpected. #
• Just walked past filming of Fringe here in Vancouver. Spoiler: a guy falls out of a building. A tall building. #
• Today is brought to you by the letters d, o, c, u, m, e, n, t, a, and i. #

• Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more. #
• "open my $fh, '<', \$text" is one of the awesomest Perl things ever. #

• If you ever felt the need to talk to your Unix computer in lolcats: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lolbash/lolbash/lolbash.sh #
• Happy Wednesday! #

• I prefer #lyt when it's just static graphics, not these Flash animations. #
• RT @XaiaX Sir Ian McKellan wins at T-Shirts. http://twitpic.com/2pq44x #
• I wonder just how long this Wii system update is going to take. It's been ten minutes and the progress bar hasn't budged. #
• We're watching an 'In The Night Garden' where the Tombliboos are playing their music loudly while our neighbours' stereo rattles our dishes. #

• RT @drjonboyg Can't we have grown up conversations with our kids? http://j.mp/9SbtA7 #
• Time to brave SkyTrain, which is experiencing major delays on the route I normally take. Guess I'll take the scenic route in this morning. #
• I'm never getting to work. SkyTrain control suggests train to Commercial, 99 B-Line to Canada Line to get downtown. Joy. #
• To all you people crowding onto the SkyTrain this morning: TAKE OFF YOUR BACKPACK. #
• Guy on PA from SkyTrain Control sounds majorly stressed. #
• Now they're saying the SkyTrain delays could go on all day. Ripped-up equipment caused by train dragging debris. #
• Gilmore Station? I've never heard of Gilmore before. Where the hell am I? #skytrain #
• Oh man! RT @VanCanucks #Canucks regular season tickets on sale TODAY at 10am! Get yours quick! http://bit.ly/bl3ZMO #

• Spa-Francorchamps never disappoints. #
• Elizabeth is getting a stocking full of newspaper for Christmas: http://twitpic.com/2jjnxh #
• I am astounded at how full of shit the computer tech at Staples is. Told my dad his hard drive would cost $450 to replace because it's IDE. #
• …and you can't get an IDE->SATA adapter. And that he needed new antivirus, while Staples had a sale going on for Norton Antivirus. #
• Staples, if you're on Twitter, take note: your computer fixit guy in Nanaimo spreads bald-faced lies to customers. #
• Is it me or is facebook, or at least the iPhone app, flaky this morning? #
• RT @DiscoveryCanada People of Twitter: ask & ye shall receive. We'll definitely air #BadUniverse & should've a deal finalized very soon. #
• It's raining. #
• Cory Doctorow is considered a science fiction giant? http://amzn.to/9nafG0 #
• Weird. Twitterrific can't log me into Twitter. I've changed my password and updated it with Twitterrific… #
• Ah, apparently there's a Twitterrific update. Too bad it's not on the Canadian iTunes store yet. #
• Hell. Twitterrific changed their app ages ago. I've been using Twitterrific and not Twitterrific. Comprendez-vous? #
• I liked the old Twitterrific (green icon background) better than the new Twitterrific (grey icon background). #
• Can anybody suggest a non-Twitterrific client for the iPhone? I hate how it handles retweets by showing the original author. #
• …or it doesn't. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. That's really annoying. #
• The last two days have been… enlightening. #
• last.fm just shit their pants. #
• Alright Excel, let's tango. #
• Well whaddya know, the BC Liberals lied when they said the HST "wasn't on their radar" before the last election. http://bit.ly/9kshAQ #
