Didn't realize that I crossed a timezone. Now I got one extra hour to explore the city. #

Trying to decide if I want to drive 11 hours from Calgary to Vancouver. Any inputs? #

Why is there an important street called cumberland in every city? #

I am in Sault Ste-Marie tonight. A small community surrounded by forest with cool breeze all around. #

In Ottawa now. I think the magnitude of what I just did is starting to hit me. #

After burning throgh 10k of savins, the deal is finally closed. I am once again, free of any attachment. #

Good bye Montreal. #

Take my love, take my land, take me where I cannot stand. I don't care, I am still free. You cannot take the sky from me. #

Going to spend tomrrow night at Ottawa's Jail hostel. #

So hungry…. hmmmm KFC #

@Azhwi Everyone has their box of memories… I got rid of mine. in reply to Azhwi #

@Azhwi Not my shin. I wasn't muscular so it is probably there, but it's not padding my bones. in reply to Azhwi #

AMD is doing good. 30% of laptops have AMD chips in it. Compared to about 10% before the intel settlement. #

Went to future shop to confirm my suspiscion about 3d TV. Yep. They are still just a gimmick at this point. #

@Azhwi Yeah… Thing is the refresh rate is slower than that. So, there's really no point. in reply to Azhwi #

There goes my box of memories #

LOL my desktop PC doesn't meet the SC2 minimum requirement. #

Stop vilifying ppl who looks for profits. It's how business works. Repeat: Business = profit. Profit = effort. Business = effort. #

LOL, gamers asking for a 5 msec response time monitor as if they are 1337. I wonder if they realize that humen cannot perceive such diffs. #

Feeding myself KFC to bulk up a bit. My weight loss was a bit…. excessive. #

While selling stuff on craigslist, I noticed that the majority of girls asks me to call them while the guys just asks when and where. #

Because of the way I've been running (ball of the foot) I now have muscles padding the bones of my shin. Neato #

That took cared of my winter tires. Now, who wants my crock pot and space heater? The final 2 items that are worth something. #

Just threw away about 7 garbage bag full of "stuff". Can't believe I have kept all these crap for so long. #

Took cared of the final clog in all the legal shenanigans. Back to packing. #

Teksavvy, why do u choose tonight to go down? #

Did I just lose 8 lbs? I can't believe my eyes. #

The ultimate test. Fitting into the jeans that I wore when I was 19 #

Didn't know this, but people my age inflate their income by 25%. Whereas I've always told the truth. #

Fucking Assholes. #

Lost another inch of Max(waist circumference) #

You thought all the middleman were evil when I was buying a condo. Ha! Wait till you sell your condo. It's evil and ripoff X2 #

Last mile till the finish line Pete. You can do this!!! #

And Daigo wins the SSF4 championship #

C'mon montreal. I want a big thunderstorm!!! #

As an engineer. I cannot withstand the lure of TF2's engineer update. Must get addictted. #

@fredngo My dad was taunting me about how the high of the day in BC is 27 and at night it falls to 10 Celcius. in reply to fredngo #

There's no escape. Even the pool is warm. #

Having connected my online Causalien name to my real person for the past 10 years, I am really looking forward to real ID integration. #

Finally able to walk normally now. #

@Azhwi is it a road bike? I doubt a mountain bike can keep up with a road bike. in reply to Azhwi #

Why is my tap water brown? #

@Azhwi Yeah sure. You'll probably need to buy a bike though. I don't like running and destroying my knees. in reply to Azhwi #

Cursed steam. They actually made me open my wallet. I just wish they are not a private company so I can recoup my losses by investing them. #

Dude, violent protests in Canada? Which country did you guys come from? #

Of course, Quebec with its huge budget deficit (after 15B in aid from fed) decides to raise wages for public sector workers. #

Hmmm lost 5 pounds in 2 weeks. Not bad. Left leg had a bad cramp after running though. Must rest for a while to heal. #

I enjoy going shopping in my torn & patched old clothing. Sales ppl, don't bother me. #

Yep. New technology. Even I can't distinguish between CG images and real ones anymore. #

Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain't comin' back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me #

Turned my failed bread into a sour dough tuna pattie. #

Sold my bike. Going to need another one in Vancouver. #

Fark. Failed making bread. Now I have no bread to eat. #

Chinese yuan peg to be removed soon. Watch real estate price rise in western societies that have a high Chinese presence. #

Ahhh the great outdoors. I managed to run 6 km on the ball of my foot today. Complete 2km more with my heels. My knees are happy. #

My small business's tax rate will be 13.50% in BC. This is heaven. #

On the bright side of BC. Tax on purchase of new homes will be completely refunded. #

BC's HST is actually going to increase bike tax by 7% while reducing gas tax. On the win side. business will benefit severely from it. #

From now own when asked about how to become rich, I will refer to this site: http://www.iwillteachyoutoberich.com #

Holy cow. I just made the second best bread I've ever tasted. #

1 hour 20 min. Done done done. Now it's up to plating. #

Bought some chicken on sale. Planning 3 dishes: 1. Sous vide beer chicken 2. Pulled BBQ chicken 3. Pan fried coconut thai chicken #

My first batch of biscuits in life turned out to be very ugly. #

Topic to ponder during today's run. What happens when all nations in the developed world raise taxes. #

The sign outside my condo now says "Vendu" #

Can't believe the ingredient I just saw in Iron chef america. Saffron Vinaigrette. #

Made 3 dishes out of the salmon roes my parents left behind. #

Thank you claymore. Now I finally have access to US bond market. #

Going on a ride with my bike to see how much of a difference my fine tuning made. #

Getting a baby without the annoyances of pregnancies: Hire a commercial surrogate mother in India and inject her with your egg and sperm. #

I should've known that the Matrox owners would deny my 2009 profit sharing. It's ok. It means that I will be trashing Matrox from now on. #

Completely disassembled my road bike and reassembled because… Yes I have that much time. #

Hi everyone, please sign up for Dropbox. I don't care what you do with it, but it'll help me alot. 2GB account is free! http://db.tt/9OFGE7 #

Heading out to downtown to relax. Ignoring everything. #

I am probably going to sound cocky in the next few weeks. Please excuse me as I just doubled my net worth. #

Changed the inner tube of my bike. Proud of my achievement. Should I bring this over to Vancouver? #

Royal bank keep on pestering me to do something about the cash sitting in my account. I will do something all right. Move it to TD. #

Oh wow. Europe. Get your house in order please. #

@gnorb Thanks. in reply to gnorb #

Just as fast as it began, the whole thing ended in a flash. My condo is sold after 7 hours of deliberation by all parties. #

4 and a half hours of bart… ahem deal making. I am exhausted. #

Yep bidding war in progress. #

Looks like there's goign to be a bidding war for my condo. #

Starbucks gave me 1 free coffee ( any choice) per month. ON top of that, I just received a $26 dollar gift card from them. #

Work done for the day. Bed is welcoming me with a siren song. #

I am going to short bidu soon #

Deal making for 1 hour and 30min. Yep that drained all my energies. #

Oh yeah and…. My nap turned into a 14 hour slumber. #

So… the first person who visited my place is making an offer. Turns out that they really liked it. #

The first thing that they ask me after they've seen the place is: Are you an aritst? #

I thought introducing and showing my condo is the realtor's job. Ended up doing it because they are doing such a bad job. #

My agent told me that I lack furniture. I replied: "But how do can you dance with all the furnitures blocking your way? #

Woke up more tired after a nap. Another withdrawal effect of caffeine. At least I started dreaming again. #

Headache… caffeine withdrawal. Crap #

I suggest everyone watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3oIiH7BLmg&feature=player_embedded#! #

Detoxing from coffee tomorrow. Severe withdrawal in 3 days. i.e. Don't talk to me on Monday. #

Step2: Resign from Matrox. Done. #

Invest in National bank of Greece. Yay or Nay? I actually have to dip into my cash cushion if I go with it. #

Yep. Foursquares is the next big hit. #

Over the past two decade. Prices have trippled. Real inflation is 6%. The 2.5% released by governments is just wishful thinking. #

@equivocality when will you know the time you are going to visit Montreal? #

Spanish land dropping value by 40%. It's almost time for me to check back on that piece of land in Tarifa I've wanted to own #

Now that I am leaving Matrox, gotta make sure I add everyone I know to my contact. #

@brent_cameron 1Ghz windows. Linux definitely trump that. in reply to brent_cameron #

The thing about leaving on good terms is that you are going to have to eat a lot of meals with people saying good bye. #

Slowly switching to communication mode from deal making mode. If you haven't heard from me for a while you probably will. #

I thought I was busy while I was working. Little did I know that my retirement made me even busier. #

It took 14 minutes from boot to finish to bring up firefox on my computer at work. #

at a rich ppl's private golf club. Broke so many dress code. #

That's the first time I used silence in a negotiation. Pretty effective I must say. #

Been going through the problem of economic inflation and population growth with people. I don't see anyway we can get out of it peacefully. #

I hate doing business with Chinese main-landers. Because they will find every chance they can to not pay. #

Nothing u can do st the sirport but wait & reflect… and check out the cute girls. #

Started biking today and used the occasion to scout out real estate agents. #

Me thinks I'll study law when I am 35. Slowly eliminating things I don't understand in life. #
