Getting started at #accelerateab with @kevin_swan.

Here's the key to finding a good restaurant: find the busiest place. @trescarnales has it nailed! #yegfood

@dups great talking with you last night!

@atleeclark Missed meeting you at the #accelerateab party at Red Star to tonight. But apparently you've met my colleague @greggoldring!

Here's a shot of @greggoldring at the #accelerateab party tonight.

@SeanCollins11 @vilcsak did you end up going to RedStar? I didn't see you there!

@garyvee coffee.

Two ways to delight customers: take away their pain, and bring a little fun into their day. #business #products

@bryanarchy ha ha. Yes!

@WarbyParkerHelp thanks! I'll check that out.

@stevetsuida sweet! I'm going to have to start saving my pennies. Or will this help me save my pennies?

According to my 4 year old, I'm the best bum wiper in the whole house. I'm going to add that to my LinkedIn profile.

If I was Life, and I gave you lemons, I'd want you to share some of that lemonade.

Was compelled to check out @WarbyParker after hearing about them on @5by5. Unfortunately... they don't ship here.

@michaelbridge just added this to our next sprint. Brilliant. Simply brilliant.

@sprintly Is the site down for everybody, or just me?

@joestump do you guys use physical Kanban boards, or @sprintly exclusively?

@KarenUnland does this new post media announcement affect your project at the Journal?

My favourite @photomatt quote (with a cartoon!) - http://www.industrymailout.com/Industry/View.aspx?id=369179

@danbenjamin I'd love to hear more about that. Was it an active "forward moving process" for 5 years; or was it fear of change?

"Why companies get safe-but-boring" by @ryancarson - http://ryanleecarson.tumblr.com/post/23854973310/hitting-40-employees-and-going-vanilla

@danbenjamin this really relates to ep67 of b2w. How did you "try on the" move to Austin before making the plunge?

@bryanarchy @PatrickKerby @100milehousebnd Amazing night! Here's the one photo I took:

"Startups that create great experiences will be the most valuable to users." - http://cdixon.org/2012/05/26/the-experience-economy/

Best 1/4 birthday party I've ever been to. Thanks @patrickkerby!

@adampatterson are you guys coming out this way today?

@akmcphedran no, it's true! This is a tidbit from "It’s So Easy (and Other Lies)" a memoir by Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagen.

RT @iamdevloper: How many .Net developers does it take to chan…*Windows Update in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…Shut down*. Yeah, that.

@mm53bar damn. I have early risers too... but mine are still not sleeping. And they're watching the Apple TV so I can't jailbreak it. ;)

@mm53bar ha ha ha. How'd you get the kids to bed so early? You're a pro.

@ryanjanvier I just got it as well. Haven't had a chance to play with it yet though.

@rjs I'd be interested in your perspective on this: http://www.quora.com/Product-Management/Should-a-Product-Manager-know-how-to-code#

@dquail are you looking to make some moves in commerce?

@lorindaapps that's a beautiful photo!

My answer to: What are the most notable startups and tech companies in Edmonton? http://qr.ae/Rq0Es on @Quora

@petermfaulkner @thejournal_ie loved this article Peter! Facebook is definitely not the right target audience for most B2Bs.

@piklist will we be able to resell piklist? Will there be an unlimited site developer copy?

This was a tough one! I just earned the Selectors badge on @treehouse: http://teamtreehouse.com/library/design-foundations/css3/selectors

@cjmartin looks like Business Insider used your photo from your engagement set on Flickr. ;) http://www.businessinsider.com/10-top-countries-oecd-better-life-index-2012-5

@stevewandler ha ha. Sweet. I'll be in the office Friday, and I'll be at @AccelerateAB on Thursday next week. I also like beer.

@stevewandler was your last tweet to me? You had it addressed to yourself. ;)

The new Coda from @panic already deserves kudos for it's brilliant video tour: http://www.panic.com/coda/ (click "Coda Tour)

@stevewandler When are you in #yeg next?

@davykestens do you work for Google?

On rainy days it's nice being inside and working on my computer because it takes away my guilt for being inside, working on my computer.

@coreyhaley whoa, hey! I didn't realize you were at Broxton now!

RT @BronwenBlack: Water fountains are inefficient in terms of thirst quenchin'.

@dquail I'd never seen that video before. I first heard Licensed to Ill in the early 90's; I've been a fan ever since.

@BrockSky drank 3 Buds at the cabin on the lake!

@mcameronmusic is this at a resort? Which one?

One of my all-time favourite entrepreneurship quotes from @cnagele - http://www.industrymailout.com/Industry/View.aspx?id=367378

I think Zuck Markerberg is a better name for a young billionaire.

RT @greenberg: I'm starting a band. I can't really play any instrument or sing, so I'm looking for a few musical co-founders.

@davykestens are those actual numbers or projections? ;)

@dquail @kylefox and Vivek Wadhwa's comments at 7:35 are dead wrong: "you can only get [the skills you need to build a company] at univ."

@kylefox @dquail we don't encourage potential students to think about ROI. $50k, $75k, $100k... that's a lot of money.

@dquail watching it now!

Invisible paths vs planned paths in a city. (or, just because you've built a sidewalk doesn't mean I'll use it).

@adampatterson oh man.

@longstride I love @draplin!

RT @robdelaney: Imagine how hard you'd cry if you found out your mom had been eaten by a wolf WHILE you were chopping onions.

Wondering why it's so hard to start a new company? http://prsm.tc/KCve1Z

@amcwilliam whoa! They put up walls. #guardthatcoffee

@dannoblaster where are you going?

Does anyone else feel like there's not enough children's movies available to rent? We do family movie night most Fridays. #parenting

@stevewandler why is that?

@stevewandler why's that?

@MarkBennett congrats! That's great news.

@CAMatONST nice to hear the @AccelerateAB kudos. I'll be there, will you?

RT @Jonflarson: Observation: Sports arenas are terrible real estate investments. Extreme example. Silverdome built 1975, cost $55 Mill. ...

@ormanclark I listened to that episode as well. Loved that guy.

@mastermaq LMS tools suck.

@paulbellows would love to hear your talk Paul. Odd that our industry doesn't reward authors with $$$.
