Peak Oil is a theory that is increasingly relevant as the price of oil and gasoline continue to skyrocket. It was first proposed in the 1950's by an American geoscientist named M. King Hubbert who worked for Shell in Texas and correctly predicted that the supplies of oil were limited in the United States and […]
Shea's got a few photos from our Calgary trip up on Flickr if you're interested. If not, this MetaFilter thread about the new M. Night Shamaladingdong movie, “The Happening”, is pretty entertaining.
We happened to be downtown on the Sunday of the Gay Pride Parade in Calgary so spent some time at Olympic Plaza enjoying the music, the vendors and the atmosphere in general. In a completely unrelated story, Pace was later photographed wearing this hat…

One of my most memorable experiences during this time was when of our members submitted her book in both the fiction and non-fiction categories. I looked at the book and saw […]
Saskabush is like Saskatchewan's answer to The Onion (but with a much more random yet much less frequent publishing schedule.)
