	17:26	Final snag: this horrendous traffic on the Gardiner Expressway.	sameervasta
	16:58	Cleaner just called. Clothes just came in. Snag resolved.
	16:51	Suitcase is with brother. Snag resolved.
	16:43	Brother was asleep. Just woke up and is packing. Snag resolved.
	16:30	Snag #1: Dry cleaning not ready. Snag #2: Can't reach my brother. Snag #3: Can't find my suitcase.
	16:03	Okay, wrap up at work, pick up dry cleaning, pack, pick up my brother, grab dinner, and get to the airport. Flight at 8:45pm. Crunch time.
	14:26	Know of any elite, invite-only ad networks like http://decknetwork.net/ and http://inthesidebar.com/ ? I'm curious how popular they are...
	14:16	@karimkanji @mynameiskate Thanks again for the tips. I'm gonna go with the backpack, I think. Haven't owned a real backpack in years...
	12:51	Lunch!
	12:48	@CollinDouma @karimkanji I'm not sure what would suit me best...sling, saddle, or pack. I'm short guy, big bags of certain types look funny.
	12:46	@mynameiskate Great review Kate, thanks! I'm struggling whether I should get a sling or a pack. Is the sling really big? (I'm short!)
	12:01	Looking at buying a new bag. Probably gonna get http://tinyurl.com/399cvf or http://tinyurl.com/6mfqrg -- any recommendations/thoughts?
	11:51	@mathewi @RaWeiss @shey Back in university, I did a lot of work advocating creative street art and artists. Maybe I should get back into it.
	10:54	I want life in every word to the extent that it's absurd.
	10:26	@LaraK Wow, that's a wonderful story! Makes me feel bad about complaining about silly tech problems. http://is.gd/L9O
	09:42	Okay, seriously? The MyOPS problem I got fixed last week, and the week before, and the week before, is back? Holy f**k, this is too much.
	09:40	@dchartier @WestleyAnnis Glad you both liked it!

	22:29	More hanging out with Shaz. Might just crash here tonight. See you all tomorrow.	sameervasta
	19:09	Well, that was an insanely fun hour of my life. I think I need to hang out with Shaz more often.
	17:59	@seanmcdonald I'd definitely be interested in playing with it -- you know, as a new web app. Not sure if it's a service I need though. =)
	17:40	Anybody know where I can get an invite for the private beta for http://bedposted.com/ ? Interesting idea...
	16:11	@DanHowe Yeah, he's amazingly talented. I've heard him live several times, and he keeps wowing me each time.
	15:34	Speaking of video, I've got some (poor) video of Spencer doing some (excellent) spoken word last weekend: http://vimeo.com/1264670
	15:31	@tanjatiziana Completely understandable. =)
	15:31	@justinmwhitaker I, for one, welcome our new bee-bear overlords.
	14:45	Last.fm has stopped scrobbling anything I've listen to for the past two days. It doesn't love me anymore.
	14:23	@tanjatiziana Use Vimeo instead of Youtube. Prettier interface. =)
	14:09	Bears in bee suits are taking over the music industry. Well, at least at Starbucks. @davidusher has the photo to prove it: http://is.gd/KAx
	12:16	@thlee What begins today? Now you've got me all intrigued.
	12:12	@andreakw Did someone say watermelon slices? http://squandrous.com/post/40691974/ =)
	12:05	@jowyang Loved your "Fail Fast" post. Everyone needs to be reminded that it's okay to make mistakes from time to time. http://is.gd/KvN
	12:04	@gcn1 Good luck shaking that cough. I'm sure my woes are due to insufficient sleep as well. Going to bed right after SYTYCD tonight!

	20:52	Mojitos by the lake. Waiting for fireworks to begin. So far, this has been one amazing Canada Day.
	13:53	Some pretty good performances going on at Dundas Square right now.

	12:45	@conniecrosby So far I'm liking the new look. I'm sure there will be complaints though...
	10:26	When did Upcoming.org get a visual refresh? It looks very pretty!

	19:31	When the Jay Z-owned Nets move to the new home in Brooklyn, they should change their name. Jay Z and the Brooklyn Hustlas. Nice ring to it.
	16:27	Just spent another $14 at the post office. Less than most weeks, but still substantial.
	15:47	@jsmooth995 Yup. The future of the world is in the hands of super-rich people who are unable to walk. And robots. Really cute robots.
	15:39	@justinmwhitaker Amen! If the recording said "We're too cheap to hire more phone operators, but we'll get to you eventually," I'd be okay.
	15:38	@ocell Tell me what you think of the beta! I haven't been upgraded just yet, but I'm super curious to see what they do with it.
	15:29	I hate the standard "on hold" recording from FedEx. If my call really was "important to you," then I wouldn't be on hold for over 20min now.

	13:10	@sylc Heard some great things about Code Factory. Will definitely check it out next time I'm in Ottawa.
	13:09	@jkottke Ice Ice Baby, too cold, too cold.
	10:38	Friend in town for the afternoon tomorrow. Anything exciting to do for the afternoon/evening of Canada Day?
	10:27	Twitter is eating my tweets again. Bah!
	10:05	@dchartier I'd be interested in seeing it for the third time. But of course, I'm at work, so that might not be possible. =)
	09:44	@dotboom Yeah, I've just resigned myself to keep Summize open all the time. Only thing that's close to reliable.
	09:02	@dotboom Think there's some API issues with the replies. Twitterific and TwitterFox aren't seeing any for me either.
	08:49	@dchartier Enjoy the extra long weekend. Eeerily quiet in the office today.
	08:49	@colin_chan Well now you're just making me jealous.
	08:48	@JoeCascio Maybe nobody taught them how to whisper? =)

	19:11	Ontario Spoken Word Slamboree tonight at 8pm at Cervejaria on College. See you there?
	18:33	Thanks for the blog software recommendations everyone! (If you have any other suggestions for super-basic blogging engines, send 'em over!)
	18:21	@willia4 Thanks! That post actually prompted my question. Two of my favorite blogs use Textpattern (HicksDesign, Textism) so I'm intrigued.
	18:13	@motionblur Yeah, just trying to see if there's anything non-standard that might be fun to play with. Heard good things about Textpattern.
	17:57	@motionblur Should have been clearer -- just need a blog CMS. Nothing too robust really.
	17:43	Anybody have any experience using Textpattern? Thoughts compared to WP? Other thoughts on a simple CMS as good or better than WP?
