Earlier this week I came across this crazy magic video online – Look how fast everything is done! While there are some tricks you can kind of figure out (especially if you look at the comments), it’s still amazing to me to see all the crazy quickness with which it’s done! I love magic! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFilLZIDJak&feature=player_embedded…
Nothing speaks to Calgary culture more than the good ‘ol Calgary Tower. Alternatively named “The Husky Tower,” it was in fact, the tallest tower in Calgary for a grand total of 15 years. Here’s my capture of it, right outside the Youth Central office building. If you look closely, you can see the flame burning.
French street artist JR uses his passion for art to bring change to developing countries. I wish for you to stand up for what you care about by participating in a global art project, and together we’ll turn the world… INSIDE OUT
Nothing quite beats celebrating Canada Day like trying out local food. I’ve never tried our local food trucks before, although I have heard recommendations from people about “Fries & Dolls.” I decided that there was no better opportunity to try it than at Fort Calgary while Canada Day celebrations were going on. Through the crowds…
A Story of Growth Recently, I was a part of the Dale Carnegie Training Course for Effective Communications and Human Relations. I spent 12 sessions waking up early on Saturdays (crazy, I know) to attend this program that was actually offered to me on behalf of Youth Central. When I heard of the opportunity I…
So for the past week, I was in LA and of course, I had to visit Disneyland. Instead of posting a photo of a Mickey Mouse statue or the big castle you can find there, I thought I’d share this photo I shot of some palm trees (that sounded lamer than it did in my…

I love the detective’s rampant imagination and the moment he takes the inhaler before he bursts into the kitchen. When you are bored on one summer day, this is something definitely worth watching.

“Bats frighten me… It’s time my enemy shared my dread.” As everyone waits for the next Batman movie to come out, I decided to rewatch the first two movies, Batman Begins and the Dark Knight and do a review on them to see what they did well and what to expect in the Dark Knight Rises.…
I’m still in Kerala (a southern state of India) during my summer vacation and I’ve been seeing some great sights – definitely worth sharing with the web! This photo shows beautifully the Basilica of Our Lady of Dolours which is claimed to be the biggest and tallest church in Asia. It is a five-minute drive from…

When I stumbled upon The Mighty Skillet, it was the day I went to pick up report cards at school. I woke up bright and early (for a teenager) at 10:30 a.m. I checked the Street Food App, their Twitter and Facebook pages and to my pleasure, it was parked downtown, right on my route to school.…
For the past few years, Apple has been battling with other companies in a quest to maintain, and now regain, dominance in the smart phone industry, with many of these wars being waged through various lawsuits throughout the world. One of their main battles is with Samsung, the manufacturer which currently holds the coveted title…
Guess what guys? It is finally SUMMER VACATION! It is time to throw some of that stressful homework assignments and exams behind your head and take a break. Whether you are looking to stick an umbrella in the sand, or sip drinks by the pool or even hike some hills, here is a comprehensive list…
Time to combat the excruciating summer heat with a little watermelon… cut from rubber bands. [youtube B2xEXWDaxX0]
