Breathing Earth

I stumbled across an intriguing website very recently (a few minutes before writing this post, heh). I don’t think I can say much about it as it’s rather self-explanatory. This website isn’t all that old or all that new… it was created in October 2006 by David Bleja, a “multimedia designer, or digital artist, or…

A Community That Will Not Falter

The cancer community has stayed strong these past few weeks as news of Ashley Kirilow’s fraud case was all over news stands. It’s been about a year now since I met Ashley and talked with her during which I believed to be an agonizing time for her, one she was going through almost alone. A…

Sidewalk Chalk Art: Julian Beever

Remember when you were a wee lil’ kid? You used to get these magical sticks of colour that you could use to vandalize your school yard… nah, just jokes, we definitely didn’t vandalize (didn’t, as well as don’t, juuust to clear that up). Anyway, there are some amazing artists out there who have taken it…

The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins

Due to the controversial nature of this book, I intend to stay neutral and unbiased. I will review this just like all the other books I’ve reviewed. Religion vs. Atheism is one of the largest arguments today. Richard Dawkins, world renowned biologist and one of the most famous atheists in the world sets out to…

Welcome to the “text-based” video game ZORK!

Resident Evil,  Call of Duty, Pokémon and Legend of Zelda are some of our generation’s favourite graphic, fantasy-based and realistic video games that stimulate our visual perceptions of our imagination. But what was there before graphic designers, before these visual manifestations of our imagination? Books? Well, sure your imagination certainly creates images, but you don’t…

Trip to Vancouver in Photos – Day 1

The first day of our trip. We drove past Banff under the cloudy sky. Then there was sunshine, chasing away all the greyness above us. We saw the Pacific Rail Way, which is one of the most important transportation railway systems in North America. After six hours of driving, we finally arrived our first destination, Kamloops, B.C. This…

More about cabbages

Summer is the best time of year to fly off the rails a little. It’s so much less grounded than the other eight months of the year that the opportunity should not be lost. I started my summer in an airport. I was traveling home to Calgary. I love airports, unlike most people I tend…

Ashley Kirilow Hoax

Back in November, one of our youth bloggers wrote about Ashley Kirilow, the 23-year-old founder of Change for a Cure. She claimed to have cancer and was soliciting money for her charity. It has recently come to our attention that Kirilow allegedly lied about having cancer and that her charity was a hoax. For more…
