Cook Anything with a Rice Cooker
In every Asian household lies a secret weapon for the broke and hungry: a Rice Cooker. If you have no time or patience to cook yourself a nice meal, putting a strainer in your Rice Cooker and stuffing it with dumplings or veggies might be the perfect thing for you. Think about it, rice cookers...
Celebration Square – A Post Canada Day Reflection
Mississauga unveiled its new City Centre centerpiece at this year’s Canada Day. Named “Celebration Square”, it’s an impressive outdoor stage just steps away from City Hall.

Then there’s that thing with North Korea. Yeah. That thing. They’re still (technically) at war. South Koreans are conscripted at adulthood and...
Marvel vs Capcom 3 – It’s About Damn Time
I’ll be brief. And no, this isn’t a video game review. I haven’t played it enough to warrant that yet. What took you so long guys? Marvel vs Capcom 2 was released in 2000 and it was an amazing amazing game. And then there came pain. 11 years of mediocre Marvel video game licenses. You...
