We’re big fans of This American Life at Bwog—remember, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery—so we were delighted to learn that this past week’s episode, “How I Got Into College,” mentions Columbia. Specifically, how insanely difficult it is to get in here. “At Columbia University in New York City, 33,000 people applied; 31, 000 […]
Last night was the first CCSC meeting of the year, though it was mostly a housekeeping meeting. Joseph Milholland surveyed the occasion.

Between Snowden, Greenwald, and the NSA, encryption is in the news. But what is it? And how can you, a mild-mannered student at an American university, use it? And why should you? You’ve got nothing to hide, after all. In this latest SocketHop, Conor Skelding (no tech genius himself) tries to lay that out. Something […]

Hang out with Michael Bloomberg before he disappears forever come Tuesday’s election (NYMag). Have you ever been a zombie elf? There’s a new college scholarship specifically for players of Magic: The Gathering, with funds specifically from older, more successful players of Magic: The Gathering.
