That was close. I almost went a long weekend without a Rob Vanmega DJ set!
vanmega:

Just in time for the long weekend, I DJ’d up a set for you.

 rob vanmega - every freakin’ night [mp3]

This is a summery set of sorta chilled out electronic goodness.  A perfect accompaniment when you’re pool-side, beach-side, boat-side, hot dog-side, or whatever… as long as you have a drink in your hand and speakers turned up you’ll be good.  16 songs mixed in about 30 minutes.
Here’s the setlist:

Tegan & Sara - Alligator (Toro Y Moi Remix) Flight Facilities - Crave You (Cassian remix)Strip Steve - Breakin’ (Lorenz Rhode Remix)Richard Grey - Phat BassThe Bird and the Bee - I Can’t Go For ThatMylo - In My Arms (Dave Winnel 2010 Remix)Drop the Lime - Sex Sax (MJ Coles Lubricated Relick)Eli Escobar - Love Thing, Pt. 3 (Only You) [feat. Amanda Blank]Two Door Cinema Club - Something Good Can Work (Twelves Remix) Robyn - Dont Fucking Tell Me What To DoSleigh Bells - A/B MachinesRezkar - Above The Clouds (Mystery Boy Edit)Louis La Roche - MalfunctionKid Cudi & Johan Wedel - Whenever Cudder Is Back (Johan Wedel Re-Touch)DJ Eleven - Every Freakin’ feat. Mike Baker The Bike Maker (Illo & Keam remix)M.I.A. - Boyz (Snippet)

22:34 hand in the air!
vanmega:

Phonat has posted a mix on Soundcloud (here’s the mp3). Just truck through the first 10 minutes of Ginger 62 crap house and then you get some sweet heavy italo influenced disco plus his “Set Me Free” extended edit.  (via young-gentlemens-club, Richard, et al)

The DJs were sensible enough to include a downloadable MP3 on their SoundCloud.

Expanding TransLink’s Tweets: Ped MVI

RT @translink: Ped MVI on Cordova St. 3, 8 go Hastings & Main; 4, 7, North Van rtes via Pender & Columbia. ^DS http://bit.ly/zY9cG

http://twitter.com/translink/status/15137076631 Expands to:

Motor vehicle incident involving a pedestrian on Cordova St. To hop on the #3 and #8 buses, go to Hastings & Main. The #4 and #7 and North Vancouver routes go via Pender and Columbia. The link (no context) goes to TransLink’s alert page, with information about this specific alert, which is not permanent. Written by Drew Snider. We’re retweeting ourselves, and including the link since we didn’t include it in the original tweet.

“MVI” doesn’t appear to be a commonly-used acronym, so I’m guessing at what it means.

Expanding TransLink’s Tweets: Introduction

TransLink, Vancouver’s transportation and transit authority, has a habit of stuffing as much information as possible into their individual tweets while at the same time losing as much comprehensibility as possible. So every now and then I’ll try my best to expand the compressed tweets to get at what they were trying to say.

Houston Astros exchange tickets for unwanted electronics. That combines two of my favourite things: the Houston Astros (OK, maybe I don’t care about the lowly Astros, but I care about baseball) and concern for the environment!
unconsumption:

A Major League Baseball team’s offer of free Saturday-night game tickets in exchange for unwanted electronics is a big deal, both in terms of generating greater awareness about the need to dispose thoughtfully of computers, cell phones, and other equipment and strengthening the team’s ‘good community player’ image. 
I applaud the Houston Astros (my hometown team) for doing such a thing — holding its first “e-cycling event” — this Saturday at Houston’s Minute Maid Park (formerly Enron Field, but I digress). Let’s hope that other professional sports teams in other markets follow suit and hold similar events.
