It’s a dark day today on your Facebook, where dozens of quasi-acquaintances and people you hate could be trying to communicate with you via the gruesome new Facebook Chat. The new buddy list type apparatus enables Facebookers to see those who are simultaneously online doing some stalking, picture uploading, friend-deleting and the like. Some details, […]

Hot off yesterday’s impeachment of an ESC member, Bwog just got off the phone with GSSC President Niko Cunningham, who may or may not have just been impeached. According to Cunnigham, tonight’s proceedings went down something like this: Towards the end of the GSSC meeting, after Dean of General Students Mary McGee had already left, […]

Wandering tipster Faith Chang has just spotted model Hilary Rhoda engulfed in machine-made fog on Low steps. She’s wearing Christian Louboutin stilettos and leopard-print St. John’s knitwear. Two other models, a bevy of photographers, and a couple of catty interns with bad highlights are also present. Rhoda, the current face of Estee Lauder, reportedly looms […]

Bwog received startling news from Tipster Casey Johnston who photographed the distressing sign (see right) outside of HamDel. And just three weeks into Off-Campus Flex’s brief flirtation with existence! Bwog called HamDel, desperate for answers. “Um… I dunno,” answered a HamDel employee when questioned about the disappearance (death?) of Off-Campus Flex. CC ’09 President George […]

The answer, as six unlucky CU students will probably soon find out, is perhaps a lot more than $200. One Bwog tipster (and probably dozens of other students with decent lottery numbers) received an email from a group calling themselves “Columbia Students.” The email proposed an Old-Timey Barter in which housing lottery numbers would be […]

Bwog’s Fu Foundation Bureau Chief Tony Gong reports on yesterday’s very special (positively Clintonian!) ESC meeting. Considering the sometimes tedious nature of ESC meetings, last night’s was one for the books. And not just any books, like Goosebumps or The Giver (just to name a few… I could go on). Last night, not one, not […]

Dear techie Columbians, Bwog, since its birth, has been managed by one web master—and now he’s moving on to bigger things. The sort of things that happen below 110th Street.

Not 24 hours after WBAR’s annual WBAR-B-Q lineup was announced (replete with promises of a “special guest” and instructions to check WBAR’s website at a later date), insiders have revealed to Bwog the identity of the “special guest.” Despite questionable rumors of Led Zeppelin and Daft Punk, which appeared exclusively in Bwog comments, the mystery […]

Jim Downie’s Political Weekly returns to its regularly scheduled broadcast time with a campaign trail synopsis that doesn’t involve George Krebs or Alidad Damooei.
