As I noted before (really? back in September?) I post on Twitter my status updates throughout the day. I like the convenience of it. I have the Twitter user in my GMail chat which allows me to post through the web interface or on my Blackberry (through Google Talk on there).
Anyway I thought I’d include some of my most recent status updates on Twitter:
- April 17, 2008 3:10 PM - Monday might be a work-from-home day if the TTC decides to go on strike.
April 17, 2008 2:50 PM - Just wasted a dollar because there was a preexisting hole in my bag of chips. Don’t want to take the risk.
April 16, 2008 11:02 PM - Coined a new word apparently: vailable.
April 16, 2008 6:03 PM - I wish that The Age of Persuasion could be vailable as a podcast.
April 16, 2008 5:58 PM - Completely obsessed with the White Coat, Black Art podcast. What a fascinating show.
April 15, 2008 4:54 PM - Difficult to focus today at work.
April 14, 2008 2:29 PM - He’s had a big nap too so he should be good for the afternoon and (hopefully) tomorrow to return to daycare.
April 14, 2008 2:29 PM - But he was in a really good mood throughout the morning.
April 14, 2008 2:29 PM - Took a sick day today to be home with Jack. His fever was up this morning.
April 12, 2008 8:24 PM - Jack’s asleep. Medicine inside.
April 12, 2008 6:52 PM - Diagnosis: ear infection.
April 12, 2008 6:28 PM - Still waiting.
April 12, 2008 5:54 PM - Realized that I could catch up on my Google Reader reading instead of trying to figure out Hannah Montana.
April 12, 2008 5:35 PM - Still waiting to see the doctor. We have been here since just after 3.
April 12, 2008 5:14 PM - Bonus knowledge: I now know where the police impound lot is.
April 12, 2008 5:14 PM - Kind of scary how many people are in here because of car accidents.
April 12, 2008 4:48 PM - Only channel on in the waiting room is Family (Canada). I weep.
April 12, 2008 4:42 PM - Want to make sure everything is ok.
April 12, 2008 4:42 PM - At the hospital for Jack. He has a fever and acting not like himself.
Exciting I know.

I’ve decided to import the OPML file from my Google Reader account into the links section of this site. It doesn’t cover all of the sites near and dear to me but it does include those that have an RSS feed. Check them out if you get a chance because they provide me with some entertaining and informative content each and every day.
If you wanted to see the list in OPML format I’ve also made it available. That link will almost certainly be the most hit on this entire site.

Since I drive quite a distance to work now (approximately 40 km) I have to take the highway at least part of the way in. On the 401 there are handy signs that are supposed to alert drivers to the conditions ahead both in the collector and express lanes. It’s useful because it can give you a sense of what you’re facing up ahead and whether it’s better to be in one or the other or get off the highway altogether.
Lately though they’ve stopped actually using the signs to indicate traffic conditions. On many drives in it only says what the upcoming exits are. They do this even when the traffic is at a standstill. I’m not too happy with this change. Perhaps they’re on a work-to-rule campaign? You can view the current sign status messages online and the ones with N/A are the ones that I’m talking about.
The traffic has been particularly bad in the mornings that my new routine is going into the collector lanes early and getting off at Markham Road and taking Eglinton the rest of the way. It takes about the same amount of time.
I’ve been eating a lot of dried fruit recently (a health kick) and this week we bought a bag of dried mixed fruit. In there we have Mediterranean apricots, California apricots, prunes, apples and pears. I have to say that I really prefer the taste of California apricots over their European cousins. It has a sweeter yet tarter taste.
I wish they all could be California apricots…
