Are you tired of DRM on all your games? Do you sometimes wish that you could choose exactly how money from your purchase is divided? Maybe you want more money to go to the developers, or even a charity. And most of all, do you sometimes wish that you could pay what you want for…
On June 8, over 80 people joined Mayor Nenshi, Alderman Mar and Alderman Farrell on Stephen Avenue Mall, spending 20 minutes cleaning up Calgary’s City Centre.

I recently read Plague, the third instalment of the Gone series, and I must say this series just keeps getting better. If you have not read the previous books in this series or my reviews of them, this review probably won’t make much sense. Basically the town is running out of water so Albert (who’s…

This 28-year-old singer/songwriter has wowed audiences all across Canada with her songs that echo with folk, country and blues vibes and her lyrics which speak with pure honesty. Such an…
^Before I start my rant, did you see the alliteration in the title? I’m so proud of myself. -Hugs myself-. Okie dokie, here we go. I signed up for summer school because I thought the experience would be comparable to summer camp. Y’know, making new friends, smiling, laughing, and having fun learning experiences. I was…
