Plugs for Stuff I’m Doing

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

On this lovely Thursday night (tonight, that is) at 8pm, I’m bringing the folks at IVY — that Ithaca College-produced show that Cornellians love to hate — to Willard Straight Hall’s Memorial Room for a sneak preview of their second season, which debuts April 14th. Come meet the people who pretend to be people who are supposed to represent you, Cornellian, in some approximate fashion. Yeah.


Another thing I’m working on is called Sneuth, which stands for snoop and sleuth (and maybe snark) all put into one clunky yet surprisingly cool-sounding neologism. Our first project is Alternatournell, an alternate look at Cornell in video form as above. Check it out, and tell prospective freshman about it PLEASE. The first installment will be out Monday. Even if you don’t like the video content (it’s jerky at times :/ ), Get Low is involved. TO THE WINDOWWW. TO THE WALLLL.

Jinan University: The Cornell of the East

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

If you’ve ever been to Chinatown, you know that the Chinese are the masters of cheap knock-offs–once, a friend and I bet how many shady bag vendors would whisper “Rooey Vitton” in our ear over 5 blocks of Canal St… the number was above 50.

Jinan University, a 20,000-student Guangzhou school, has taken this proud Chinese tradition to new heights with their Web site, which looks strikingly similar to the Big Red Multicultural Utopia that we all know and love.
