Watch out, the nerds are gettin’ it on! And writing about it! Here comes Outlet, Columbia’s “new erotic review.” In light of New York magazine’s blog post about the new online sex rag, Bwog staff member Sara Vogel picked the brain of editor-in-chief Kimi Traube, CC ’08, about fonts and porn. How do you respond to New York magazine’s blog observation that Outlet is composed […]

Kate Ryan sent Bwog this photo from the comments board of the Hewitt Dining Hall at Barnard, where a great debate is being waged. The first comment, by Jonathan (jcm2120), reads: “Fire the sandwich lady (the regular one) She is absolutely rude, disrespectful, and shows no pleasure in doing her job.” …to which Alli (acl2118) replies: […]

Could they be paying attention? Could they care? Passersby Low plaza at 2:30 today–the first annual Campus Sustainibility Day–pondered that very question as leafy-brown suited PrezBo and right hand man Robert Kasdin spoke, unmiked, about how important environmental stewardship is to Columbia. For the cliffnotes, check your inbox for the e-mail statement he sent out […]

Welcome to the first installment in our five-part series on Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, that mystifying, Columbia-owned haven of higher learning in Palisades, New York, that no one really knows anything about – until now!  Bwog correspondent Addison Anderson takes us through the history, the mystery, and the all-around good time that is waiting for you […]

There as to be someone here for enviro day.We put him near this Tree at bArnard” Save the […]

A few days ago, Bwog was walking near the corner of 120th St and Amsterdam when we observed a police officer—a man by the name of Ma, presumably of the 26th Precinct—writing a parking ticket for a sporty black sedan.  We didn’t think too much of it, until we got closer and noticed that the […]

Two boys in sweatshirts with Greek insignia, talking to each other in normal voices at the milk-and-sugar station in 212: “Yeah, but you didn’t hear it from me.” “Whoa, that’s a REALLY big secret.” “Dude, i know, that’s why i’m not telling you in front of the other guys.

Matthew Harrison C’05, who loved being President of CCSC so much that he decided to stick around after graduation, has been deluging Bwog’s inbox lately (okay, he sent us two emails) hyping up Environmental Sustainability Day (which is apparently tomorrow). He geeked out a bit to let us know there is now an environmental section on the University Events Calendar, […]

 More stuff you shouldn’t have saved on a public computer.   However, only the artists know the intentions that lie behind these choices. Since they are dead, we will never know but can guess.   These artists seem almost the equivalent of psychologists in that rather than telling us what is important, they depict it […]

We rocked so hard, I thought we’d be together forever. And then you came back from Bulgaria with him. So I followed you home. And shouted expletives at your window all night long, and kept strands of your hair in a little box on my nightstand. I didn’t see the harrassment charges coming. From now […]
