Don’t know what IPOs are? Ready a quick article about them here. Though there has not been any official information regarding Twitter’s IPO, there are rumors that the company may go public soon. After Facebook (FB) and Groupon’s (GRPN) stocks suffered heavy losses when going public, is it still worth it for Twitter to do the…
Have you ever read The Book of Awesome? Well, someone should really write The Book of Not Awesome. It’d be far more entertaining and it does the same thing — it makes people smile. I’ve decided to search up and think of some simple nuisances, as opposed to simple pleasures. Either way, the Book of…
After more than a month of hiatus – not to mention the tormented imprisonment in school – I’ve decided to finally embark upon the journey of writing freely again! This summer I’ve spent quite a lot of time volunteering around the city (blog posts to follow…), and with 2012 being the tenth anniversary of GlobalFest…
I remember getting textbooks in grade 7. Prior to junior high, elementary was a time that wasn’t burdened by the required reading of texts that had the ability to put one to sleep. Elementary was a time when my backpack only held my lunch, and a football, and was a lightweight to carry. Elementary however…
I love glass; it’s both delicate and beautiful, yet it’s also durable and functional.
I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who hates cupcakes, especially Crave‘s cupcakes; who could? Normally, I’m a die-hard lover of the Nutty Over Chocolate (a chocolate cupcake with peanut butter icing, yum!), but the other day I stumbled across a post on Crave’s website which made my heart sing; for the entire month of…
Sure, Menchies is quite a drive for some of us – but it is definitely worth your time. But what is Menchies? Nothing less than frozen yogurt heaven. When you first arrive at the shop, you are enveloped in a plethora of color and shapes. This isn’t any ordinary ice cream parlour! The design is fairly…
During the 67th session of the General Assembly of the United Nations, Harper made Canada known on the world stage, with two of his actions each sending a statement. When asked to speak, Harper declined the offer, stating that he had nothing he wished to say to the Assembly at the time. In doing so,…
[youtube HmBByDQHJAA] There’s plenty of talented cover artists out there – but you gotta admit, not everyone can take something like Gangnam Style (which everyone loves for its beautiful vocals and guitar accompaniment, obviously) and make it so… artistic and lovely. Emotional, even. It sounds almost like indie or folk. And all that, without losing the…
Whew, can’t believe 2 weeks have gone by so fast! On the third last day we went on an hour trip for a medical outreach at Engikarat School and Community. The school is a boarding school, mostly guys, with only a tiny minority of girls, and the community is mostly composed of traditional Maasai tribes…
When I finally returned home this summer after seven weeks of being away, I found something rather surprising waiting for me. I suppose you could take it as a “welcome back” present from my mom. The object itself is actually rather commonplace- one of those solar flowers that moves its petals when exposed to sunlight…
Referee’s undoubtedly are a major component of any sport. They manage the game so that it can be played fairly and that the right team takes the win. However let’s take a look at another lockout. This time a far more rarer occurrence than a player lockout, a referee lockout. What really gets under my…
Do you love Joss Whedon? Do you love Nathan Fillion? Felicia Day? Neil Patrick Harris?! And most of all…do you love musicals? Because on Tuesday, October 9, the 45-minute film will debut on The CW 9:00 PM Eastern Time (for those who live in Calgary that’s 8:00 for you!) Whedon, his two brothers and his…
5 years ago, a company was created which would change the way that games were viewed forever. By offering players who were both professional and casual a chance to show others their skills, this company managed to aid in the growth of an industry which was already big in some countries and make it big in…
