Vancouver Parking Pay by Phone

I went downtown last week and discovered a really nice new (to me) feature of Vancouver’s parking meters: you can pay with your cell phone!

Go Up, Market, Go Up!

Thursday, we officially put our house on the market.

There are still some little bits of work to do (some cement work, and the gutters) but it’s in wonderful shape.

Aren’t I Worried About Privacy Online?

So, a friend told me yesterday I must be brave to post my phone number online like that. I think perhaps “brave” in this context meant “foolish” or perhaps “naive.” Maybe even “boneheaded.” He raises a good point.

New Home Phone Number

In our never-ending and largely futile effort to keep our home life and work life separate, Susie and I now have a new home phone number. It’s (778) 330-7488.

A Dream of Tolerance

I had an interesting conversation in a dream this afternoon.  I was sitting out by the pool, and across the courtyard, there were two amazingly gorgeous lesbians, one blonde and one red head, making out in a pool lounger.

I got in a discussion about the nature of tolerance with them.

Day Trip to Seattle Friday?

Hey, anyone interested in driving down to Seattle with me on Friday to attend this: Drilling Down: Exploring the latest developments in online publishing? Or if you’d just like to go hang out in Seattle for the day, that’d be good, too.

Overheard

“An unexamined life is not worth living.”

...who said it?

“BBFF (Best Bacon Friends Forever)”

...who said it?

“I find myself thinking of a checklist Wozniak wrote a few years ago describing how to become a genius. His advice was straightforward yet strangely terrible: You must clarify your goals, gain knowledge through spaced repetition, preserve health, work steadily, minimize stress, refuse interruption, and never resist sleep when tired. This should lead to radically improved intelligence and creativity. The only cost: turning your back on every convention of social life.”

...who said it?

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.”

...who said it?

“Ever have something in your teeth that you cannot stop tonguing?”

...who said it?
