Have you ever wondered what life might be like without books, magazines, the Internet, or any other information resources? It might be a crisis for us to finish our homework without Wikipedia (oh, the horror of SOPA!), but in many parts of the world, there is immense censorship, from books to the internet. Even here…
I love clothing that is influenced with trends from the past and the present. Old-fashioned styles can be extremely trendy when built in to a modern day wardrobe! There are a lot of indie labels/boutiques that carry really cute, old-fashioned clothing. Try: Many Belles Down, Etsy.com, modcloth.com, or Tulle. Here are some of my favorite…
Well, since this term [bronies] is pretty common for the average internet user, what better way to add to the Humble Bundle! As one of the top donators for the fourth Humble Bundle, their website describes it as “A way for bronies to come together and create a fund to buy one big copy of the Humble Indie Bundle. By pooling our resources we can support charities, indie gaming, and show how generous bronies are!”
Who’s got powerful vocals, musical talent, volunteerism and good looks? Megan Nicole! She’s a 17- year- old uprising singer and songwriter who started posting covers of various songs on YouTube starting last year.
It’s unbelievable how technologically advanced – and dependent – we’ve become compared to a mere decade or so ago. The following is a video on the statistical side of things, but only limited to the Facebook world. Imagine how big the numbers would become if we included the whole World Wide Web, or even just…
Now that we are a couple of weeks into the new year, I think it’s time to make some predictions into what the new year will hold, and see what we have left behind in 2011. The video shown below is a Google Production which they usually do to recap what the year has been…
What do you do when you first get home from school? Research has shown that most kids come home from school and go on a social media website. This results in homework being done late at night. They end up losing track of time and spend hours and hours on the computer. Time management is…
Junior high students usually assume all the “high schoolers” get the big awards. And sadly, sometimes that’s true.
But what students may not realize is that being older isn’t a large factor for most of these awards.
I edited the first image off the Internet using the Premium version of Picnik. It’s amazing how, with the right editing tools, you can change your look on the Web. If somebody on a chat site with the left-side image as a profile picture tried to add you, would you add them back? What about…
Do you know someone who is actively involved in the arts? They could be dancing for charity events, singing for a fundraiser or being an inspirational speaker. Or do you know someone involved in sports?
As you all are probably aware that Grad is coming up, and girls and boys – mainly girls – are most likely trying to decide on what to wear! And yes, I know there are Facebook groups out there for girls to place dibs on dresses (’cause if someone wears the same dress… aaaawkward). Now,…
For Western countries, it may seem strange to celebrate the New Year weeks after January 1st. For Chinese people, it’s a wonderful, joyous time, in which friends and family finally spend time together after a year’s hard work. The Lunar New Year represents a time to celebrate life, happiness, and wealth. There’s a story that…
It is the time of the year once again when a number of us are making choices for post-secondary, or if you are in Grade 11, thinking about what to do in university. It has already been a very gruelling task for me. I oscillated between varieties of programs like Political Science to Pure Mathematics…
Author’s note: Is there any topic that you would like to see covered in four paragraphs? Leave it in the comments below and maybe I’ll cover it in a later blog. Update: Lamar Smith, the chief sponsor of SOPA, said on Friday that he is pulling the bill “until there is wider agreement on a solution.”…
