After a few unfortunate experiences with a certain caffeinated alcoholic beverage last semester, we at Bwog decided to turn over a new leaf. Our New Year’s Resolution? Keep it classy, baby. Indeed, Bwog has been sharing our appreciation of the more refined tastes of the Columbia culinary community for quite a while now. Today, however, we […]

Try your hand at whipped cream tossing, tonight at 8 pm in the first floor McBain lounge.

Oops! Today’s page seems to be missing from the almanac! (We did discover, however, a page of the Facebook variety – they have joined our good friend International in the realms of social networking.) However the farmers market is open, with 5 farms expected. It’s a good day for cider and donuts!

As you awake this morning to news of no snow day, we will attempt to comfort you with some cool pictures of Columbians frolicking around college walk (wearing varying degrees of appropriate snow clothes).

PoliticalLine: Our very own Jeffrey Sachs (director of Columbia’s Earth Institute) did not approve of Obama’s State of the Union Address. Media caught up with him on a bus from Zurich to Davos. That’s usually where Bwog goes, too, to express disapproval. (WSJ) HawkLine: Apparently we’re not the only news outlet with a thing for […]

Bwog decrees the 2011 battle has begun. Get your asses out there! Go get ’em! Remember, as of right now, classes aren’t canceled, but the University does say that “conditions are subject to change.”
