My name's Carrie and I like turtles. But don't worry; I'm not a zombie kid! I'm a huge fan of video games and supporting independent developers. I love experiencing new things: music, concerts, events, food, and so forth! You can follow me at @missCarrieMah on Twitter, and suggest new things for me to try!
Name of Food: Saltspring Island Noodle Stir Frys Where to Buy: On the Midway, near the front of the food area closest to the main entrance. It’s next to the BMO Centre! Cost: $8 for a small box, $10 for the large (which is the better deal) What makes it worthwhile: YUM! These noodles are probably the best…
Name of Food: Cotton Candy Cupcakes Where to Buy: Food Fair, next to the Rotary Dream House (previous location was a Bubble Tea stand) Cost: $5.50 What makes it worthwhile: There’s cotton candy on a cupcake! That’s about as good as it gets. I was thoroughly disappointed, as the cupcake that I got did not look similar…
Ever wonder how “hackers” in Hollywood movies can type so quickly? Behold, the Hacker Typer website! Essentially you can type anything and a bunch of code pops up. Neat, eh? According to their website, “Hacker Typer was developed as a small joke by Duiker101, but soon reached millions of views.” A post from TechWorld created…
Did you try to make your schedule through PeopleSoft? Did you cry, moan or want to destroy the program? Me too. But I’ve found the solution! A wonderful group of Computer Science students created a project for their CPSC 301 class.

Last Friday night (cue Katy Perry’s song), I had an awesome time exploring 12 Ave and 2 St; there were tons of food trucks lined up, and I decided to try the Holy Crepe food truck. Among 20-some other food trucks, this 4-month old truck has a sweet twist on the thin pancake. Tasting Chef…
I looooove board games. And not just the Hasbro ones–the ones that would last for hours on end in attempts to win a tactical game. Games such as Settlers of Catan or RISK. But you may ask yourself… how on earth are you going to choose? Well, I stumbled upon this brilliant flow chart on…
Hello reddit users! Wait, are you asking what reddit is? It’s basically a social news site where people can post things, and people vote it “up” or “down” based on its awesomeness. Now, if you’re new to reddit or are a long-term user, then you might be interested in sending gifts to and receiving gifts…
You might be tired of me advertising these bundles… but I think it’s important that you know about them. Especially this one, called Because We May (May refers to the month and permission–how witty!) which is the ultimate sale for indie games. If you went giddy over Steam deals, get this: Android, iOS and Mac…
I’m sure you all know how much I love Steam and indie games and all that good stuff. Well, this week, Steam has a lot of KILLER deals!

Plus, you’re supporting a lot of indie developers and that’s always an important thing.
I love Marvel. Sure, the DC Universe has Batman and Superman, but Stan Lee has created some awesome heroes. If you haven’t read my other review of X-Men: First Class… you should! And when you have the time, watch it. So, what’s the verdict of the mash-up of Thor, Hulk, Iron Man and Captain America?…
