Have to adjust my bike's brakes tomorrow morning, as I had a teensy bit of a closecall today. Also, need to wake UP on the way home. Hi mom! #
BBC's Mary Anne Hobbs dubstep experimental radio show is freaking me out. It actually makes me sad there's nothing CLOSE to this here in BC. #
For those of you wondering what the heck I'm talking about, listen for yourself here. http://is.gd/33Sfy Happy 090909! #

Fun to find gear that you can't parse: "What is this?" "Y'mean, why is it there?" "No, I mean what IS that?" "Oh. Dunno." "Huh. Neat." #
My active noise-cancelling headphones don't know what to do with wind: try to make anti-wind. Makes walking sound like car windows 1" down. #
Burrard Skytrain: trying to not watch this guy kissing his girlfriend, 'cause he's manipulating her skull like it's a pop bottle. The hell? #
Happy to be going AWAY from whatever event these goons are heading to. They are not part of my tribe. Football? AC/DC? Truckpull? Loserfest? #
Listening to Wonk Funk – Kper. Suh-hreal. Glitch, but more. Switch. Quitch. Flitch. Weirdness. Good weirdness though. Really good. #
Hah. Almost got off the train at Oakridge cause it's fun to roll 30blocks downhill instead of normal commute. Too bad I don't have my BIKE! #
Hey Captain Aggro on the platform: Don't worry, nobody wants to steal your cheap case of beer. Relax. #
Watching "Glee" tweetpeat, which I might actually enjoy except that I keep reaching for the subtitles button to make the tweets go away. #
I keep expecting the teacher from Glee to suddenly turn into the Cop from Life On Mars (US version). #

It's official: transit is slower for my 11.5km commute than cycling. Of course, I don't show up at work all sweaty, but it beats being late. #
Some of James Cameron's earlier work. We've all come a long way, baby. http://www.imaginarycinema.com/multimedia/xenogenesis.mov #
It seems accidental tweets that are replies without content are my specialty. Just think of them as a blank stare. I meant to do that. #

Hanging in the living room after creating a crossbreeze my father would be proud of. It's like a… a breezetunnel in here… Whoooooooosh. #
Groceried at StuporStore today. Saved something like 30% over shopping at Safeway. Got a $25 gift card, too. Rent diff covered in one trip. #
Kids playing in the backyard with the girl from downstairs. "Low Rider" playing on RadioParadise.com. Summer in Vancouver is pretty sweet. #
One of these days, I'll start posting on my blog again. Haven't had the attention span for, like, the last three months or so. Weak. #

Blueberry pancakes for breakfast. Made a triple batch in order to balance out the berries on-hand. Still more like "berries with pancake." #
Gotta rewire the plugs in the new place. 3/4 are 2-prong, there's no such thing as a "2-prong power bar" for the tv, cable, Xbox, Wii, DVD. #
Digsby: I understand you're trying to monetize w/ addons during installation, but c'mon. So many? How many users complain about the addons? #

Is anyone else finding 419 scams are getting less annoying, but more… I dunno… Pathetic? It's like they're not even trying any more. #
Trying to find a FREE Blackberry Jabber client that allows custom server names. Anyone? No? Probably a bad idea to be "always on." #
