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!

YouTube Charity Channels

Did you know that YouTube pays people if you have a lot of subscribers? Based on how many people watch your videos, you generate money! So if you get more views, your revenue will increase as well.

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…

Important Facebook Privacy Settings!

Hello, hello! If you’ve noticed on any website that contains your personal information, they have an “https://” at the beginning of the url. This means that the website is under a secure network. However, the wonderfully (and awfully) popular Facebook has changed their originally secure network into an open one. This is ultimately dangerous, as…

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…

Student Vote vs Federal Election Results

May 2nd was an important time in Canada. It was either the repeat of the Conservatives, or a change in government. As I stepped up to the polling booth, I returned to the ballot box in five seconds (or so) and was greeted by “wow, you were fast.” You see, I knew who I wanted…

Top 10 Lessons from Disney: Part 1

I love Disney! Even if they don’t really emulate real life situations, they make for really nice references about love and romance. And it’s nice to take a break from watching action movies, and just watch a good (even cheesy) romantic film. Oh, and if awesome cinematography and animation is included, then all the better…

Website Spotlight: GamesRadar

I absolutely love reading witty articles about awesome things, don’t you? Well why don’t you head over to GamesRadar and start indulging yourself in some well-written and informative reviews.

Video Game Music Orchestrated?!

If you love playing video games, then I’m sure you love listening to the soundtracks. If you love music, then I’m sure you like orchestras and just epic songs in general! Well, what I have a treat for you music/video games/video game music lovers! Video Games Live is performing at the Jack Singer Hall on…

Opportunity for a Mock Federal Election!

Is your school participating in the Student Vote? Well if not, ask a teacher and start a committee dedicated to emulating a real election. And if you’re lucky enough and are of age by May 2, then be awesome and vote! It’s important to go out there and cast your opinion on the candidates; countries…

For All You Little Chefs!

And I don’t mean little as in young, small or tiny… I mean little as in miniature-sized food! Okay, so the title may be a little misleading but I have cool videos to show you! The Japanese have done it yet again (as in impressing the Western civilization). MINIATURE FOOD! Konapun, a food making toy,…

Canadian Federal Election!

What are the perks of being of legal age? Other than the “partying” privileges and whatnot? VOTING! That’s right. Who’s excited for the election on May 2? And this is the big one, it’s the one that determines who the new Prime Minister is. This is the first time Canada has ever experienced a non-confidence…
