Photo of the Day: Puerto Rican Burger King
This is a photo I took in Old Town San Juan, Puerto Rico in February. I thought it was funny to have Burger King in such an old, historic building.
Tech Highlights Week 4: Top 10 iPhone Apps
1. Facebook Assuming you have a Facebook account, you’d quite literally be insane not to have this app. Watch your news feed, send messages, upload photos, stalk that individual you so dearly desire… o.o 2. Dropbox Dump the files you want to sync in a folder on your computer, and your device will allow you…

Of Sports and Reporting
The first clip is of Evan Longoria saving a reporter from being hit by a baseball. Here he displays amazing (unbelievable) reaction time and hand-eye coordination. [youtube V6Ig3_Agass] The second clip is of a reporter who makes a backwards half court shot without even knowing it. [youtube u9C8tkJNt8Q] And the last clip was what the…
The A Cappella Fellas: Collaborating 4 Kids
On Friday May 13 I had the great pleasure of attending the A Cappella Fellas’ annual concert and the University of Calgary’s MacEwan Ballroom, supporting the Kids Cancer Care Foundation of Alberta. For those of you who don’t know, “a capella” is literally a genre of music which involves singing without instruments, meaning the singers…

Picture the Day: Hidden Golden Gate Bridge
San Francisco is one of the top destinations I have been to! The culture, the people and just the natural sights of this American city held me in wonder. A funny fact I learned about San Fran is that it doesn’t snow EVER (well, it has snowed only once since 1976… so I guess it’s…

Photo of the Day: Truck on fire
Another photo I took during my 2009 internship with Metro Calgary.
Outfit of the Day: Drapey Shorts
Drapey shorts have become my new obsession. These are shorts that sit higher on your waist with pleats along the top; and have a loose, almost baggy, effect on the shorts itself. I’ve noticed that many stores are starting to carry these types of shorts for this spring and summer season. In this outfit, I…
Photo of the Day: Vintage
Today we have a small collection of shots I took with a few of my fully manual film cameras. I just love that they look like this naturally, no Hipstamatic involved.
Self Freezing Coca Cola and Supercooling
In this video the Coca Cola seems to freeze spontaneously after the man opens the bottle. Apparently it’s a special type of Coca Cola that you can only get in certain parts of the world. [youtube j07SweYJTSM] The Coke is “supercooled” (when a liquid is brought below its freezing point without crystallizing). When a liquid…
Picture of the Day: Dating in University
This was re-edited from another graph (I’m sure you can Google something like this and you’ll find the original), but isn’t it an interesting discovery? It’s not 100% accurate (note: do not take this seriously), but it gives an idea of what you want to go in if you’re super concerned about having a boyfriend…
Tech Highlights Week 3: Chromium OS, Chromebook, and what they mean for you
Some of you may not know this, but Google has already developed their own operating system. Though still in beta, the concept is indeed highly appealing. The main idea behind this new OS is that normal operating systems take a long time to boot up, and a good majority of users spend most of their…
