As I’m sure you know by now, there’s a moderately large storm creeping into the eastern United States, causing quite some damage.

By Bwog Staff on Oct 30, 2012 13 Comments

Update, 1:30 am: Facebook, CNN, and Wikipedia are now back up! Try going to Facebook. Now try CNN and Wikipedia. If you’re in a Columbia-owned building, it’s likely that none of these websites will load. But the websites themselves aren’t down. If you try them from a non-Columbia IP or from your phone (once you […]

Profs Admit Defeat!

By Bwog Staff on Oct 29, 2012 19 Comments

By Bwog Staff on Oct 29, 2012 10 Comments

Jacques Barzun passed away on Thursday at the age of 104. A man who was an integral part of Columbia’s identity, Barzun will be missed.
