@InvestVernon great to see you today at the swap! We ended up going back at 2pm to get skates. Crazy!

@amcwilliam Where is that trail?

@dchymko I think this laptop will be more your style. http://content.dell.com/us/en/enterprise/d/campaigns/sputnik

@MoreWillie ahem. #firstworldproblems

I think if anyone is thinking about having 4 kids, watching me shop at the ski swap with mine would be enough to make you reconsider.

@mastermaq Yup. Planning on it. When I was in #yeg and going to college I biked year round. @adampatterson does: http://blog.mailoutinteractive.com/post/Employee-profile-Adam-rides-his-bike-in-snow.aspx

@mastermaq Great post! Since moving to #vernonbc I commute to work by bike every day. It takes me 8-10 minutes and I love it.

@kylefox this is true. Employment can't "scale" the same way.

@Wierstra76 long time dream, moved in August.

@Wierstra76 we should. Next time I'm in #yeg (I live in Vernon now). I fly in quite often.

Beautiful day in #vernonbc. Sunny, high of +19 C. http://instagr.am/p/QnamhTjob1/

@paper_leaf yikes! Crazy.

@statwonk this sounds cool. I like the idea of capturing worthwhile metrics, and using them to serve customers. I'm a happy @treehouse user!

@adampatterson sorry man. I don't understand what you're talking about. ;)

@statwonk Interesting! Can you give me an example of how the dashboard helps you delight your users?

@adampatterson sorry, what? By making what available to users? Big data? Can you think of a small company that is doing that?

@statwonk can you give me an example of what kind of metrics you're tracking?

Whoa! It snowed in #yeg today?

@jeremywoertink what about us little guys?

@sfard love it.

Does anyone have an example of how a small business is using big data to delight customers?

@scdaustin Weekday morning did you say? ;)

@petermatejcek great to meet you today at Holmes' talk. Checked out Hustream; it looks cool!

@ashleyraegan thanks so much for putting on today's event! #AORyanHolmes

Really great talk by @Invoker today at #AORyanHolmes: transparent, honest, real.

@joestump you should come and shred the interior of BC sometime: Revelstoke, Big White, and Silver Star.

Who else is going to see the Ryan Holmes talk in Kelowna today? http://buff.ly/QY7hNE #AORyanHolmes

@dchymko what was that platform you mentioned last night for hosting .net apps? It wasn't Azure. You said it was Heroku for .net?

@_neckbeard Ha ha. Yeah, I wonder what those are for. ;)

@joestump Joe have you done any snowboarding in Canada?

RT @KirstenDavis_: HAHAHAHA only in Edmonton... #yegtraffic #yeg #smartcar

RT @birbigs: I think maybe the key to eating healthy is not eating any food that has a TV commercial.

@kaziamullin thanks for putting on #geekbeersvernon tonight!

@bobjim Good to meet you man. Now go and update that Twitter background!

@dchymko Great to meet you man! I'm hoping I can make it out to @okdg soon.

@Christinianity next time: your kids can babysit my kids, and you, @scdaustin, my wife and I can go on a wine and bacon tour. ;)

@scdaustin It was great to finally meet you! Looking forward to hanging out in Kelowna soon.

Found my next computer.

Also, going to #vernongeekbeers tonight: http://www.industrymailout.com/Industry/View.aspx?id=397242&p=d81d

@scdaustin are you coming tonight as well for #geekbeers?

@kaziamullin sweet!

@amyhoy looks like I have some reading (and some personal testing) to do. ;)

@amyhoy I'd like to read some other research. Do you have some good resources you could point me to?

@amyhoy I personally can't stand long-form! ;) It also seems to go against Jakob Nielsen's research: http://www.nngroup.com/reports/newsletters/summary.html
