Last night at their weekly meeting, Maren Killackey was impressed by CCSC. For once, there is no snark. No cheap shots, no embarrassing quotes, or slight misinformation because, let’s face it, no one cares. Before descending into a sappy metaphor about some particularly efficient student government meeting (is there anything more sad?), I’ll leave it at […]
With all the fuss and media attention going on around Emlyn Hughes this week, frustrated Frontiersman Alexander Pines thought he deserved to be defended. Here’s the result: I’ll be frank, Frontiers of Science is a bullshit course. Instead of providing an in-depth exploration of one or two key topics in modern scientific study, it seeks […]
Wtfcolumbia.com is now up and running! Deceptively, its name stands for What To Fix Columbia, and essentially is a discussion board where you can complain and discuss the problems in our university. Anyone with a UNI can now make an account. Facebook integration and a mobile app are still in the works.
After Emlyn Hughes’ cryptic stunt during last week’s Frontiers of Science lecture and the hullabaloo that followed, of course everyone was looking forward to today’s lecture. Our sources hinted that it would be even crazier than last week’s. An e-mail was sent out to those in the class also announced that “due to recent media attention,” they […]
You know that stuff you learned about during history class, where everyone was scared of nuclear bombs and we were sending people to space and the Russians pretty much ate babies? It’s happening again, but online. (NYTimes) Soon you’ll be able to surf the Internet while driving. What could possibly go wrong? (CNET) Although the […]
This past week was marked by highs and lows for Columbia Athletics. Men’s basketball suffered a crushing loss to Princeton on Friday night only to come back and slap Penn 58-41 the next day with notable performances by Grant Mullins, Brian Barbour, and Mark Cisco. Wrestling lost a heartbreaker match to Harvard and similarly came […]

Mayor Bloomberg has warned that anybody harboring the criminal will […]

If Bwog had a movie trailer, it would probably look like this. “Come to our meeting tonight at 7 pm in the SGO on the 5th floor of Lerner,” says [insert famous award-winning actor] in an authoritative tone—fade to black. (Youtube) Anatomy of a movie trailer via Youtube
ECAASU 2013 came to Columbia and had its opening ceremony on Friday night, various workshops and forums on Saturday afternoon, and a kickin’ after-party last night. Sarah Thompson*, appreciator of all things Asian, braved the stares to check out the opening ceremonies. ECAASU, the East Coast Asian Association Student Union, is kind of a big […]

The 10 best Oscar red carpet looks of all time. Gwyneth, Julia and Halle are all there. (E! News, Goop, Youtube, ) Age is but a number—an 86-year-old and a 9-year-old are both nominees this year. (LATimes) In a world…where there are movie trailers, only certain scenes make the cut. (NYTimes) How to make an Oscar-winning […]
