Officially, the city isn’t actually doing much. But with these new Idling Reduction Signs, YOU can do something! There are currently two signs you can put up (as long as they’re not installed on City right-of-way…I actually have no idea what this means, would anyone like to clarify?). One of them reads Idle Free Zone,…
I’ve been a member of DeviantArt for about 5 years now, though I’ve never really used it religiously. But like any social networking site, it hasn’t failed to reward many of those who have. DA recently celebrated its 100 Millionth Deviation by listing a few Deviations that have earned their creators a great deal in…
You’ve heard from me before that YouTube can make a person famous. Well, now, I have some proof of some videos that have gone all around the world and have stocked up with millions of views. Here are the most viewed videos of 2009 on YouTube: 1. Susan Boyle – singer – Britain’s Got Talent…
This was so awesome that I obviously had to share. One Track Mind is a site that features a new indie music track every day to share and to review. Even if you don’t listen to “indie” music, you’ll probably still enjoy this site. I know that we’re all always looking for new music to…
For your last Wednesday of 2009, I thought I would share a video that will make you say “wow.” I came across this video a couple months ago and found it super entertaining (I’m hoping you will feel the same). Check it out below. It’s by an artist named Evelien Lohbeck, and is actually somewhat…
My latest book review is of Chris Wooding’s The Fade. This story takes place on the moon of some uninhabitable planet. The people of that moon must live underground due to the fact that they would die a very painful death if they were to be caught on the surface when both their suns were…
Every year after Christmas, there comes New Year’s Day – the first day of the first month has always been celebrated, or for as long as we know that it has been. Although almost everyone in the world celebrates the new year on the first day of the first month, January 1st, many cultures celebrate the…

A flash mob is… A group of people who organize on the Internet and then quickly assemble in a public place, do something bizarre, and disperse. Generally, flash mobs are a means of artistic expression. Over the last few years – as I’m sure you may have noticed – there have been a bunch of…
We’ve talked about year-end countdowns, and there are tons when it comes to pop culture, whether it be music, television, film, etc. I recently came across this video from DJ Earworm called, “United State of Pop 2009 (Blame It on the Pop),” which eliminates the need for me to pick a favourite song or video for…
We are off to enjoy some eggnog, play in the snow and check out all the holiday lights around the city, all while listening to some awesomely festive (and not-so-festive) music, and we hope you and your family are doing the same. We’ll be back to our regular schedule on Monday. Happy Holidays everyone! –…
This is the second in a series of posts dedicated to athletes who were legends in their respective sports!
