You may notice that most of our posts involve photos of one sort or another. In the past, Bwog’s been content to draw on the resources of first Google Image Search and later (upon learning of a strange term known as “copyright”) Flickr.

Apples!

While Mother Nature’s doing her darnedest to usher in the start of winter, ESC wants us to know that it is in fact still fall.  They’re throwing an apple-themed study break at 4:00pm in Lerner 569–head on over for everyone’s favorite fall fruit in candied, pie, cider, or just-off-the-tree form.  They’re encouraging attendees to follow […]

Quarterback M.A. Olawale showed flashes of brilliance—completing 14 of 26 passes for 192 yards and two touchdowns (one each to receiver Austin Knowlin and tight end Andrew Kennedy)—but was responsible for six turnovers of […]

Those hoping for the Spec site to return will be happy to hear that, according to editor-in-chief Melissa Repko, “the website should be back up again in the next 24 hours.” In the meantime, though, tipsters have provided a more complete picture of what brought the site down.  According to sources, a group of managing […]

And then thirty senators voted against a bill to block government contracts with companies that do not allow their employees to sue when raped by fellow employees.

It’s a Saturday, and at a lot of schools across the country, that means football. And this week, there’s a ton of free food up at 218th Street, where Columbia is about to take on Penn in about an hour.  But just as more important than free food is free beer! Especially when there’s lots […]
