Take note: Ferris Booth is closed The cafe on the ground floor of Dodge is closed (though we only went there for James Franco sightings, anyway!) Cafe 212 is open The cafe in Butler is […]

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.”

You’ve heard of them. You may have seen them—pet them even. But to be certain, you have lived under their ever present shadow of doom. Bwog speaks of cats. And not just any cats, but the cats that live in the grocery stores, bars, and coffee shops of our dear neighborhood. You know you’ve spent hours in Butler looking […]

Since midterms are far off, Bwog knows you’ve avoided the sad place of Butler.  Hopefully you’ve only felt that singular blast of hot air in passing, rather than embraced it.  Hopefully you’ve only seen the dreary denizens thereof, rather than been one.  Whatever your Butler predilections, Bwog reminds you that Butler is both very alive […]

A Bwogger passing by Wien this morning noticed this peculiar new addition to its architecture: the door on the right now has a large crack in its window and is covered in caution tape. One Wiener we spoke to said it wasn’t bad it enough for cold air to seep in, but it is still […]

Lawmakers are considering a ban on the use of electronic devices while crossing streets.  Should we hold hands too? (NYT) A peach-faced lovebird, native to southwest Africa was found in Morningside, and nobody knows where it came from. (DNAinfo) Good news for B-school kids: apparently MBA job opportunities are on the rise.  (Bloomberg) A trophy-for-everyone: […]
