Any optimal map path solution involving a trip on the Lion's Gate Bridge uses a flawed algorithm. Only exception is between the hours of 11:00pm to 5:00am!

My Various Witty Remarks

Follow @sillygwailo on Twitter!

  • @vanmega pants are a challenge no matter what you're doing.
  • How do awkward nerds do at SXSW? #couchbeers
  • @jordanbehan I'm going to hurtle downtown for #couchbeers. If you hear something crashing into the Strutta building, that's me and my bike.
  • Is the bike parking situation on the Vancouver Art Gallery block really as bad as I think it is?
  • @bmann I don't need an excuse to go to Bowen Island on Sunday, but if there's a Tweetup, I'll happily claim that's why I'm going!
