Even though Google spilled the beans about their privacy policy, can we really trust the multibillion dollar corporation to have no skeletons in their closet? Don’t you find it a bit strange that just as they made their announcement, campus surveillance was bumped up a several notches? Also, could this coincidence explain the eerily timely announcement […]
A girl reading The Aeneid on the subway is approached by a random older man. Guy: What are you reading? Girl: The Aeneid. Guy: Oh, I remember reading that. I liked the Iliad better. Girl: Me too. I can’t wait to finish this so I can read the Metamorphoses. Guy: Oh man, I love Kafka. Girl: Yeah, […]
Last seen at Il Cibreo on January 19 around 1am. It’s beige cashmere with unique colors which complete the original burberry pattern. If you took it by accident please contact aln2133@columbia.edu. If you took it because you like it, not cool.
DevFest, a “week long application development experience” sponsored by the Application Development Initiative, kicks off today in Davis Auditorium at 1:00 pm. According to a tipster, there will be a bounty of snacks including Chinese food and WestSide sandwiches—ample fuel for the 24-hour hackathon which begins today as well. DevFest runs all week, and features workshops […]
Today marks one year since Bwog deepened our romance with the Northwest Corner Building by polling you, dear readers, to find the perfect nickname. NoCo beat out such worthy contenders as “NWC,” “The Cheesegrater,” and “The Panopticon.” Whatever you want to call it, take a moment to raise a cup of Joe to our shiniest and most […]
It’s another scandalous day in the Ivy League. Patrick Witt, the Yale quarterback who was lauded as a sports hero after he opted to play in the Harvard-Yale game rather than sit for his Rhodes Scholarship interview, has been accused of sexual assault. Turns out the Rhodes committee found out about the (unofficial) accusation and suspended […]
It appears that our blue neighbors to the North have a serious problem: in an article published last Friday, Yale Daily News reports that Yale’s single men are “maybe-I’ll-just-eat-this-sandwich-instead” terrible at copulating! Bwog is keenly aware of the prevalent hook-up culture at Columbia, so we wondered, what about our men? A wild commenter has already done […]
Bad news, friends: we now have one less thing to bitch about. By the end of 2012, your Columbia-provided email address will change over from Cubmail to Gmail. That’s right—no more of this. According to Spec, to start, “50 to 80 students […] will be selected for the trial run by Shollenberger.” What we want […]
Saturday night features the annual Dance Marathon in Lerner Party Space. Ass shaking will commence at 1 pm Saturday, and end at 7 am on Sunday. The event has been organized to raise awareness, and money, for the fight against pediatric AIDS. It seems like there will be some pretty good music, with Gavin Russom of LCD […]
Today, a few intrepid Columbia students unsatisfied by ethnically ambiguous dining hall offerings ventured into Hamilton 702 with open minds and empty stomachs for the supposed first lecture of a course entitled “Masterpieces of Western Food.” While immediately put off by the alarming lack of snacks, this audacious reporter stuck it out, for reasons of journalistic […]
As reported a few days ago, the College Republicans have been considering bringing Jim Gilchrist, co-founder and president of the Minuteman Project—a controversial group aiming to stop illegal immigration—back to speak at Columbia. For those of you who don’t remember Gilchrist’s last visit to campus in October 2006, violence broke out between a group of protestors […]
Some times the devil is in the details. Other times its in the name. Girl 1: Where’s 1020? Girl 2: On Amsterdam somewhere… Girl 1: Like, where? It’s a pretty long street…. Girl 2: I don’t know… I’ve never been there before. Bwog recommends brushing up on your celestial navigation before setting out on this […]
