We’ve compiled a bunch of inane slides and textbook quotes from an assortment of classes—can you guess which ones? Click below to start, and […]
Bwog’s Data Structures Expert Brian Wagner put together these flow charts for your delectation. He basically figured out whether or not you are going to fail your classes.

Name, school: Mustafa Hameed, CC Claim to fame: Ne’er-do-well, CIRCA President, probably in that order. Where are you going? Wherever destiny takes me. At the moment, it seems destiny takes me to a few more years in this fine city. Three things you learned at Columbia 1. When you have to sleep, you have to sleep. […]
Name, School: Brigid Babbish, CC Claim to fame: I apparently have a “horrific” Michigan accent, but even after years outside of Michigan I still can neither hear nor shake it. I also used to be the sole wind player, but now must settle with sole bassoonist, in the Columbia-Juilliard exchange. I even get to play the contrabassoon when I’m […]
This is the line outside Häagen-Dazs, as seen from McBain by tipster Maricela Gonzalez. They are giving away free scoops until 8. If you join now maybe you can get some before they close!

In the third part of our DIY relaxtion series, Lily Icangelo takes us to the Well Woman center. It’s not just for ladies!

Where are you going? I have a piano lesson at 4 o’clock. Three things you learned at Columbia: 1) “Midterm” is a […]
We’ve been telling you guys as they’ve been announced, but the final list of all Commencement and Class Day speakers, and the recipients of various other honors, has just been sent out. It does not include Barack Obama. It does include the professors who’ve won the Presidential Award for Outstanding Teaching, the largest university-wide prize […]
Good Citizen tipster Luwam Kidane has just informed us that the bed bug crisis is far from over. She just spotted the pesky pests in 409 Butler. Before tipping Bwog, she sent an e-mail to the appropriate authorities and informed someone at the library—we commend her responsibility. She reports that said staff person “was able […]
Microsoft acquired Skype for $8.5 billion. Great, so more blue screens while having skype sex. (Engadget) MetroCards are being phased out! Over the next three or four years, that is. (NY Daily News) Brooklyn-based Hasidic Jewish newspaper Der Tzitung photoshopped Hillary Clinton and another woman out of the now famous recent situation room photos. (WaPo, […]
Bweatherman Pat Blute taught us to love the weather, but sometimes it takes advantage of us. After floods ravaged Australia in January, Pat decided to take the semester off to help the victims.
