@stormbasiat iPhone has had that capability for years. Qik app. Jailbreak only.
@trevorevans it's hard to give fair attribution on twitter. i usually go with 1st seen. saw the moebius bagel from 3 ppl i follow. :-)
I always harboured suspicions about pink...http://news.bbc.co.uk/2... (via @stephenfry). As an adult I wear it only warily+deliberately. ;)

@CalgaryGuru :-) Canada rocks, there's no two ways about it. Happy to be here.
@scorpusmaximus zigactly! well said
Most important thing in educating public about science: Science is about degrees of certainty - shades of grey - not binary black or white!
/me sets alarm for 0400 to check on brain. hope relatives in convenient timezone get email in time to call too. #headinjuryinstructionssuck
In this matter I'm definitely with the cyclists. http://www.nypost.com/p... Keep church separate from state, kthxbai.
@JokrzWyld thanks for your kind remarks. i agree, and will be calling the city taxi complaints hotline in the morning.
For instance, while Newton's old ideas about motion are "wrong" in detail, they do a very accurate job of predicting baseball trajectories.
Science has inherent self-correction mechanisms. As time goes on, more evidence accretes, & scientists become more sure about understanding.
Ooooh. I think I can rilly use Snappy, a new Cydia (pay) app that supposedly boots iPhone camera in one second. Spending $1.99 to find out.
@JokrzWyld cabbie couldn't be bothered getting out to help me put heavy shopping in trunk. he only got out after i yelled for assistance.
PS: I don't care about suing the cab company, all I want is for no other passenger to get hurt the same way.
Avoid Beck Taxi car 2817 in Toronto. Its trunk lifter mechanism springy-thingy is broken. Wind blew, trunk fell sharply onto head. OUCH!! :[
@ralphsaunders Probably. But what would it achieve? I've already left a complaint with Beck and the City of Toronto, more phone calls in AM.
@cyclehoop i'll make enquiries gently on campus. will be in touch. best regards of the season. :)
Ice is my friend, again. Headache not bad enough for Dr visit. Bruise will prevent bike/etc helmet wearing and haircut for few days. BAH!
@AgentShawnee indeed, i'm surprised how few cab drivers help passengers w/ obviously unwieldy shopping (=why I took cab!) get loaded safely.
@cyclehoop do you happen to know if the University of Toronto has made an order with you? I may be able to rattle a couple of cages :D
@cyclehoop Toronto cycle lockups are ring-and-post. There are never enough; often we hear excuses. I'd love to see your product around town.
@brynau moah power to Sydney! :-)
@theundecided wow, that's completely awesome! Congratulations :)
