Welcome back to SocketHop, a newish, occasional feature in which we seek to help you with your technology.  This week, we take Gmail and make it even better.  A horrifying example of an outdated electronic mail message client. Just say no.  To drugs, unless it’s Adderol; to sex, unless you paid for it; to Cubmail, […]

Bwog’s Internet-based television critic Rob Trump returns with another installment of Know Your Web Series. This week: Drunk History.

Your guide to what’s worth watching on the Internet returns and TV critic Rob Trump comes bearing good news for fans of Neil Patrick Harris and Joss Whedon alike. I feel like I’ve started the last three or four of these with some variant on “Well, I’m not sure that this really belongs in the […]

A politically active tipster clued us in to CountMore.org, a neat website that allows your to figure out whether it makes more sense to vote here, in New York, or in your home state. (Though chances are it’s probably going to make more sense — or just as much sense — to vote in the […]

Internet Television Critic Rob Trump returns after a brief sojourn from Bwog’s series on web series. Well, I’m back, after a few weeks hiatus of just basically forgetting to write this and nobody noticing. I promised several weeks ago that I would review the other major CollegeHumor webseries, The Michael Showalter Showalter, so that is […]

A School of the Arts third year writing student named David Harrington is receiving some attention today from the New York Daily News in response to his famous internet invention, the Sarah Palin Baby-Name Generator. The Daily News loved their new Palin names so much that certain reporters even used them as bylines. Bwog played […]

Just because you have homework doesn’t mean the TV watching has to stop — really 12s, it’s true! Rob Trump’s weekly web series fun continues with Mark Erickson’s Infinite Solutions.
