Bwoglines: The Future is Now Edition

By Bwog Staff on Oct 05, 2011 6 Comments

Columbia’s Professor Stiglitz, who’s been making the rounds recently, published a commentary on the economic recession in Slate and, well, the headline says it all. (Slate) Apple announced the iPhone 4S yesterday, and, along with it, their new Siri app; part voice-recognition, part artificial-intelligence, all HAL-9000.  It’s a shame the name is destined to be the […]

Butler Gets a New Library, Kinda

By Bwog Staff on Oct 04, 2011 5 Comments

Green Means Go, 2 Means Sprint

By Bwog Staff on Oct 04, 2011 2 Comments

The powers that be have installed new pedestrian crossing signals along Broadway. Who knows if these have any safety benefits, but they add a sort of “missile launch” chic to the neighborhood.

An Iridescent Worm Wanders Through the Ruggles Windows

By Bwog Staff on Oct 04, 2011 5 Comments

A Ruggles resident, also responsible for last year’s inflatable tube man meets party streamer french fries, created another art installation.

Is Your JJ Single Looking Sparse?

By Bwog Staff on Oct 04, 2011 1 Comments

And you just don’t have that creative spark to turn nothing into something? No biggie. Stop by the flea market currently taking place on Low Steps. It looks like they have a variety of cheesy dorm room posters and small potted plants. There are even two food trucks for your lunching pleasure. For everyone else, watch […]

Remember that CC alum and former SNL cast member, Jenny Slate, who voiced the adorable shell video which made the rounds last year? (“Guess what I use as a beanbag chair?
