No, It’s Not Another Redesign

By Bwog Staff on Oct 16, 2009 45 Comments

Visitors to the Spec‘s website might find the front page looking a little lacking in content. Rather than the first step in a makeover, tipsters tell us that there’s “some serious internal – and possibly legal – drama going down.” Spec editor-in-chief Melissa Repko declined comment on advice of lawyers, and online editor Ryan […]

New Website Alert! SEAS and Student Affairs get Bluer, Whiter

By Bwog Staff on Oct 16, 2009 13 Comments

Two of Columbia’s major websites have just received extreme makeovers – the SEAS site, whose color scheme and photo-of-new-dean remind visitors of Columbia College, and the Student Affairs site (shown above), which reminds the administration of its promise to render the entire Morningside Campus in 2D.

Eyepoke: Eye-Popping Figures

If we could study television, we wouldn’t have to waste time watching it. Eventually, going to the pediatrician is just creepy. Hopefully it works better than the Ionic Breeze. Among the Ivies, our tuition increased the most.

Bwoglines: Forty Days and Forty Nights

By Bwog Staff on Oct 15, 2009 5 Comments

The lack of options for those “smaller thirst occasions” is maddening. (Gothamist) Oh, look: standardized tests and head-scratching don’t yield smarter kids. (NYT) Inexpensive housing in Manhattan? Right. (NYT) Window grates of death defend against local ruffians. (NYPost) Two from Barnard, two from SEAS, two from the College. Butler’s Ark is waiting. (1010Wins)
