Now that I’m officially in Paris, this is one of the sights we saw yesterday! L’arc de Triomphe. Built in order to honour all those who died for France in both the Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars. Underneath the arc, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from World War I is featured.
If you’re like me and have a great interest in science, this may interest you. A YouTuber who goes by “thunderf00t” claims to have the first video footage of potassium gas. I was skeptical of this claim but it’s been over a week and no one has come out to disprove it, so I searched…
When you mix sweet, glazed donuts with a salty beef patty, you’ll get Stampede’s own version of the Luther Burger.
This weekend I was one of the very fortunate, and excited, Calgarians to go to the Calgary Stampede. But on the down side, I missed the parade this year (summer school). Nonetheless, the Stampede was extremely fun. Except for the fact that I’m now short on money. By a lot. You couldn’t possibly do everything…
The deep fried Pop-Tarts are simply a treat that you’d get for the sole leisure of trying something different.
Do you ever find yourself on the road and driving past a sign that said “Stampede Breakfa—” and then you end up stopping at a red light past the darn sign? Well, stop wandering your eyes from the road and use this directory to help you find all the awesome and free breakfasts around the city…
[youtube LNkq9t-gRdA] The Calgary Stampede officially starts today, and kicking off the festivities is the parade of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, followed by the Calgary Stampede parade, led by the “Man in Motion” Rick Hansen. I’m pretty stoked about Stampede, as it is always a blast (money spent notwithstanding). However, I know that…
Staaaaaaampeeeede! This could be the war cry of Calgary, although it’s certainly more a cry of elation than one of bloody battle. And why not? We’re entitled to our fun, and the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth is without a doubt one of the most fun events in Canada, if not all of North America…
It’s here again! I know I’m a bit late, but… better late than never! Until July 10, Steam users have an opportunity to get achievements (tasks to do in games) and receive golden tickets. These tickets will allow you to purchase small items for games, such as downloadable content like maps and skins for characters.…

Hmmm… if you say it really slow, it almost sounds like the word naïve. Try it: P-R-O-C-R-A-S-T-I-N-A-T-I-O-N. Procrastination itself is most peoples’ vice, from adults to children. Oh and did I mention STUDENTS? Honestly, the youth of today are especially subject to it and I myself can admit to viewing procrastination as an impending doom.…
I remember that as a kid I went to a field trip to the “Dean House,” a place that is supposedly haunted by ghosts. When I was there though I felt nothing; no drop in temperature, no sudden movements, and definately no sense of anything paranormal. What I believe is the fact that most of…
When I first encountered Fluevog shoes, they were at the art gallery-style store in downtown Vancouver. I was instantly taken by the signature oddball heels and the strangely elegant appearance of the clog-like collections.
