Yesterday’s XKCD comic “Externalities” changes its content based on a couple of factors, including which school is leading in a hash-breaking contest. How the whole thing works is explained pretty well here, but what we really want to bring to your attention is that Columbia is currently tied with MIT for 3rd place, behind Carnegie […]
Earlier this week a tipster overheard two Facilities workers checking out each other’s IDs: First guy: “What is that!? It’s all forehead. Where’s your face?” Embarrassed guy: “Shut up! Give that back!” We realized we all know that feeling. You must too. That’s why Bwog wants you to submit your most cringe-worthy, shame-inducing, esteem-undermining, reality-bending […]

Before you head to any of the 20 busiest airports in America, make sure you’ve scoped out your best dining options. (CNN) Google’s current Privacy Director is stepping down. Her successor has a tough job ahead of him. (Forbes) You thought some of the pranks your friends pulled were good? The NYPD suspect that the […]
Our post before may have been an April Fool’s joke, but this is real — maybe? According to a tipped email supposedly forwarded from Housing, a few unlucky students actually were given the wrong lottery numbers. The unluckiest of all would seem to be the rising sophomore Christian and his group, who were given the lottery […]
Last night at 9 pm there was a defining moment in American history: the premiere of Game of Thrones, Season 3. Watch Bwog exercise its pop-culture muscles as we analyze the Ivy League, GoT style. Because life would be so much better with family crests and rivalries that were real, and because you’ve already taken […]
Update, 8:44: Back! Rejoice and uncurl from the fetal position, EC’ers. Update: And the EC Wifi is out too. So much for Netflix in bed. We swear this post isn’t an April Fool’s prank. Unless Facilities really really hates us. EC residents, trot your way over to Butler while you still can.
A nasty life-changing rumor has been circulating campus from a Bwogger who spoke with some of the construction workers near Uris today. Apparently, Butler is due for some long-delayed construction in its lower levels that have been lingering fire hazards since last semester. Take a breather: our tipster reports that the work on the library won’t […]
Columbia Housing has announced today that last week’s housing lottery came reversed due to a technical mistake. The cause of the mishap was a miscommunication between the StarRez system algorithm to assign lottery numbers and Columbia’s housing selection system; in the former, higher lottery numbers take priority, in the latter, it is the opposite. The […]
The Core Scholars program invites students to submit a reflection on the Core in virtually any art medium, and submissions are due for this year’s program on April 15. To aid in your inspiration, Bwog caught up with Gabriela Pelsinger, CC ’15 and self-proclaimed Vagina Warrior, who was one of last year’s Core Scholars for this amazing […]
A crafty Bwogger working late into the night at the Diana picked up a copy of what appears to be the Creative Team’s latest “Creative Rundown” of this year’s Veesh. Bwog is withholding judgement for the time being, but there’s no reason you should do the same in the comments. What you find in the […]
In the February issue of The Blue and White, Grace Rosen profiles Karishma Habbu, CC ’13 and CCSC president. You can read the rest of February, as well as several back-issues, at theblueandwhite.org. The March issue is coming real soon. A red knee-length peacoat, white fluffy earmuffs, and matching white gloves: that was Columbia College […]
