Police allowed an uber through a roadblock to pick us up. Taxi guys were just waiting for suckers. No passenger rights. But back to @cityoftoronto - why can all the cabs make up their own rules? @oliviachow @TorPoli @GraphicMatt

All roads on the south side of the stadium were closed, so a long walk was the only alternative... which was not an option. @TPSOperations officers were helpful, but didn't do anything about taxi drivers breaking the law.

Does anybody care about #Taxi passengers rights anymore? #toronto taxi cabs are running an extortion racket outside the 'Dome. Wouldn't pick up the passenger, wanted 3x the cost of the ride... even though I was with my limping father (recovering from surgery).

Another great example of why robo-umps can't come soon enough. So far two brutal strike 3 calls on @bluejays vs. Seattle #mlb #baseball

It was a one hour @aircanada flight, and I've been waiting on a bag (that I didn't want to check) for almost two hours. Wtf @TorontoPearson ?!

Oh good... Our bags have been located. As in they didn't know where they were. What a joke.

Dear @google - I just deleted 1200 photos and 2GBs worth of GoPro videos... and my Photo/Drive storage percentage didn't drop AT ALL. Why? How? WTF?

Finally working on my "drag effect" instructional video. Here's a sneak peek - The faded picture is a nose hit, the other hits half a rock - look at the different result. #curling

Man, can Babyface ever play that guitar! Ooooweeee... Somebody should have told him he was holding it upside-down and that mashing your fingers around doesn't make it sound good. #SuperBowl

Listening to @SarahKSilverman on @ConanOBrien - my mother also tried to convince me of the "forte" pronunciation. I'm sure they're correct, but ... no.

Does @torontolibrary have any plans to support @kindle books? Seems odd (and annoying!!) to ignore such a popular device!!
