The Twitters of Columbia

By Bwog Staff on Apr 24, 2012 6 Comments

We all know that Columbians love to express their opinions, whether solicited or not. It seems that where we truly excel, however, is in compressing these opinions into 140 characters or less. Fearless world wide web explorer Bijan Samareh ventures into the depths of the avian jungle to bring you some of the most well-known, […]

Free Iced Coffee, or the Death Throes of a Dying Phone

By Bwog Staff on Apr 24, 2012 6 Comments

Forlorn, downtrodden, and perpetually abused BlackBerry users, today is your (perhaps last) shot at superiority. This time, the glances will be of envy, not of pity, when you proudly walk by with your free iced coffee.

Bwoglines: Hard Truths Edition

By Bwog Staff on Apr 24, 2012 0 Comments

Politics very close to home: in Harlem, new demographics are shifting racial tides. (New York Times) A city PSA commercial is looking for “ethnically ambiguous, real-type” actors to play homeless people—rather than, y’know, looking for actual homeless people to play homeless people. (NY Mag) Just because you’re a hipster, doesn’t mean you get to shoot […]

Dean Awn’s announcement today of a very last-minute date change to the 2012 GS Class Day didn’t go over so well—now, a couple of GS students are planning to do something about it. Acronyms abound.

Overseen: The New Squirrel Paradigm

By Bwog Staff on Apr 23, 2012 3 Comments

We know the whole squirrel thing is getting a little old, but a tipster couldn’t help but notice this poster with a cut-out piece of pizza attached to it.

Taking Names

By Sylvie Krekow on Apr 23, 2012 6 Comments

Sylvie Krekow investigates a forgotten tale of campus larceny. Look for this and more in the forthcoming April issue of The Blue & White.
