5 everyday science myths debunked
Raise your hand if you’ve ever seen someone eat something off the floor because of the five-second rule. I am. But according to this post by the New York Times, the five-second rule is actually a myth. When you drop food on the floor, and it touches germs, the germs stick to the food immediately.…
Writer’s Block, and regaining creativity
A lot of teenagers I know seem to be drained of creativity. I think the reason for this can be explained in one word: laziness. But what about when you’re actually trying to be creative? When you’re about to explode from the cacophony of thoughts and ideas, images and visions, and yet… nothing comes out.…
The Mortal Threads
Attention all of your Mortal Instrument Series book lovers out there! First off I would like to apologize, my witty title making skills are lacking in the humour department. The American clothing store Hot Topic is releasing a clothing line inspired by the book series by Cassandra Claire. They will also sell merchandise such as tattoos,…
Photo of the Day: Penguin Walk
A couple weeks ago, I was able to catch a glimpse of one of the last penguin walks of the season. The King penguins at the zoo actually come out and “march” for spectators if they are feeling up to it: the temperature must be perfect, not too hot and not too cold. If you…
Video of the Day: Pale Blue Dot
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p86BPM1GV8M It’s amazing how a short three minute video can alter your way of thinking. I love this video not only for it’s simplicity, but also for the lasting effects it can take upon the viewer, challenging different perspectives. The fact that this is a Carl Sagan clip doesn’t hurt either.
The Male Fashionista’s Meggings
We often start embracing old “fashion trends” again from time to time, don’t we? What does men in tights equal? Meggings, a combination of “men” and “leggings”, is the so called “fashion rage of 2013”. This trend is now sweeping fashion circles everywhere to the point where major media sites such as the Telegraph have noticed that more…
Youtuber of the Day!
Hey guys, So yesterday, after a long day of math review, I took a little break and gave myself a little treat before I went to bed. Now, this isn’t something elaborate like a shopping spree, but something more along the lines of web surfing. As a result I found this really amazing YouTuber, Devin.…
Photo of the Day: Bloom into Spring
Even though the weather here currently just magically transformed from nice and decently spring-like into atmospheres of temperatures fit for December, this photo has me anticipating everything that (hopefully) shall be experienced soon.
Quick and dirty: poster design
During the spring break, I was charged with the daunting task of creating a poster for the school play, Dorothy Meets Alice. I was stumped. How do you create something that is both aesthetically pleasing, and will get your message across? I spent a lot of time researching effective poster design and general art composition,…
Is this the best blog post ever?
Looking at the title of this blog post, I may have lead some of you astray. If this post was really the “best” then I wouldn’t have titled it in a questioning manner. Rather, I would have come out confidently and titled this post “The Best Blog Post Ever”. The fact that I wasn’t too…
How much is Fifty Dollars Worth?
Imagine this: you’re walking to a local bank branch when you come across a fifty dollar bill on the ground. There is no one around you and no clear indication as to whom the rightful owner of the bill is. What would you do? A show called What Would You Do actually did an experiment…
Cool things I wish more people thought were Cool
I am a lover of old, vintage and just plain weird things. However that doesn’t really strike interest in too many teens. Record Players: I got a record player for my 13th birthday, and I love it! It’s super cool and sounds way better than mp3 downloads or on ipods. My indie heart juts can’t resist.…
GIF of the Day
Awwwww…. *I promised myself I wouldn’t give into the world of tumblr, but this GIF is just too cute to ignore.
The invention of love
Alright guys, I know Valentine’s Day had long since passed. But, it’s never too late for a little romance. As you can probably tell (from my past posts), I’m a big fan of short films. I find them to be simple but efficient for conveying ideas. I recently came across this film from my YouTube…
