This is a photo I took during my internship with Metro Calgary in 2009.
May!
For many of us, May marks the beginning of Spring! However, as the snow clears and green is finally visible in Calgary, May is also significant – it marks the revival of many environmental youth initiatives. Below are some of the projects that the Sir Winston Churchill Earth Club is involved in. There are many new…
SaM’s Serving of NeRd: Cannibalicous Quiz
Have you ever wondered what you would taste like to a cannibal? Now is your chance! No, I am not advertising a band of test-tasting cannibals that shall advise you on your flavour (as…um…fascinating(?) as that would be… :O). However, it is an interesting question. There is not any (if there is a minor amount,…
A truly magical night in Vienna with the CPO
I love music composed in Austria because it is usually known as warm, heartfelt and extremely moving. My favourite Austrian composer Beethoven was celebrated for his music that sensationally captured the spirit of Vienna. The Night in Vienna concert was performed by the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra (CPO) and incredible solo violinist Jonathan Crow, which created…
Photo of the Day: Untitled Shoot
I find this one funny, because when I import my photos with Lightroom, it asks me what the name of the photoshoot was. Since I only took a few pictures for this, I didn’t bother naming it. Lightroom then just named the picture “untitled shoot-3343.jpg”. Get it? It’s a potato shoot! 😀 Click to zoom…

Youth Week Wire Sculpture Jewellery Course
Here are a couple of photos of the jewellery I made during a course for Youth Week! The North Mount Pleasant Arts Centre generously had a free wire sculpture jewellery course on April 29, 2011. I don’t have pliers at home, oddly. The chain on the guitar-violin thinger is unfinished – I’d like it to…

The Philharmonic in Your Library
Have you ever wanted to listen to the awesomeness that is the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, but wasn’t able to see them due to some odd reason? Perhaps you didn’t have extra cash on you at the time of ticket sales, or the performance times were too inconvenient and the location was too far from your…

Conservatives and Usage Based Billing
So, the Conservatives won a majority in the latest Federal Election. What do you think about it? For me, one of the most troubling things about Harper is that he is willing to let internet companies limit customers’ “usage.” You know that stupid fee you have to pay on your phone if you want access…
