- Taking Back Sunday - Cute Without the ‘E’ (Cut from the Team)
Ah 2002.. the peek of my angsty teen years. Every time this one comes on shuffle I find myself singing/yelling along, rather loudly.

The End of Wonder in the Age of Whatever

The End of Wonder in the Age of Whatever:

This is an amazing talk. Yes, it’s an hour long. However, if you really want to be inspired, you need to watch this. It speaks to how our society, and influences like the internet, have changed our perception of the world.

The way I see the world very literally changed after watching this talk. Hopefully it does the same for you.

Police Do Not Have Power To Wiretap Without Warrant:

I knew there was a reason I love living in Canada. At least somebody is looking out for us regular citizens.

The Legend of Zelda Theme played on a violin
By Lindsey Stirling and Devin Graham

This satisfies the music nerd *AND* the video game nerd in me. Amazing!

It's the most wonderful time.. of the year!

No, I’m not talking about Christmas or Thanksgiving.. I’m talking about Election Day!

November 19, 2011 is Civic Elections Day in British Columbia. All municipalities in BC are required to elect or re-elect their Mayors, City Councillors, Parks Board Members, School Board Trustees, and any other civil referendum questions.

It’s important that EVERYBODY takes 10 minutes, researches their candidates, and votes. Especially in Vancouver.

In my beautiful city, we have two very different directions that our leading mayoral candidates are taking. We need to send them a clear message of what we want.

Vote. Shape your world.

I whole heartedly blame @serraboten for this, but I’ve been listening to this soundtrack for the last day straight. Already love this track, and this remix satisfies my need for firm beats and progressive repetition.
