The final leg of the basketball season for all high schools in Calgary wrapped up last week. If you hadn’t guessed, I play Junior Varsity ball at Western Canada, so I’ll give you a quick summation of how it went down in the Division I playoffs. (: So basically, all teams are eligible for a…
Kony 2012 has the whole world in a flurry- going viral with over 1.2 million hits in two days, trending on Twitter and filling status updates on Facebook.
Calgary Transit is asking all Calgarians what they think of CT’s service, which includes everything from the location of the future lines to fare prices. The RouteAhead public consultation project will be asking Calgarians what they think of transit over the next 10 months. The first stage of the consultation will be gathering feedback from…

Joseph Kony is a relatively unknown name unless you’re among those who follow news that ended… six years ago. Perhaps breaking “olds” would be the more suitable name for the entire #StopKony/#Kony2012 campaign.
For those who are not aware, recently a documentary on Youtube has gone viral accumulating over 11.5 million views in only 2 DAYS!

After last week’s failure to investigate Crepes & Cravings, MJ and I finally managed to pay this little store a much-deserved visit.

Recently Theatre Calgary released their 2012/2013 season in which I am extremely excited for. The plays I am most anticipating are Pride and Prejudice, Anne of Green Gables, and the Kite Runner; all books I have read and enjoyed immensely. Along with these, the season also consists of Next to Normal, God of Carnage (both of which…
My vote is for the latter. A street vendor in China creates a dragon-shaped lollipop using nothing but a marble slab, a spoon, and some caramel.

The annual Calgary Kiwanis Festival is in full swing for 2012. This is a music festival that features amateur musicians performing repertoire in their musical instrument, at all grade levels. Giving almost 9,500 musicians the chance to perform for their peers and receive adjudication from the most high-caliber professional musicians, thousands of youth involved in…
What do you do if you’re bored, feel like being challenged and/or hope to be (or are) a programmer? You play Lightbot! A game designed by Coolio_Niato, this game is about a robot who is trying to light up tiles. You can walk, rotate (which is mind-boggling!), jump, light up a tile and call functions.…
Ever wonder what it would be like to take a ride on your own personal rope swing – one that just happened to be the largest in the world? The people in this video set up the world’s largest rope swing in Moab, Utah, and awesomeness ensues.
