Snap of the Day: Remembering the Holocaust

Can’t read the sign? Wondering whose people’s deaths the pink flag remembers? A close-up after the jump.
Snap of the Day: In Which the Arts Quad Becometh Art
Saturday, April 11th, 2009
ART QUAD.
WTF? Oh, it’s art! Land art, to be precise. I asked a guy who was unloading the bagfuls of hay stuff into big heaps, and he said that it was:
Snap of the Day: If a Tree Falls on the Arts Quad…
Monday, April 6th, 2009
A bad cameraphone picture of the length of the fallen tree.
And no one is around to hear it — as the officer nearby testified — does it make a sound? Physicists tell me that it does, but I’m still waiting to hear back from the Philosophy department.

And I’m Back! To Being a Horrible Person, Of Course
Tuesday, March 24th, 2009Just got back to campus yesterday after my first ever “party” Spring Break, which was pretty effing fantastic. What happened over the Break? Not much, really — Cornell lost to Mizzou in the first round of March Madness, Madoff’s Ponzi scheme-abetting accountant ‘81 got arrested, and, more importantly, “a devastating infestation of wooly adelgids is currently invading the University’s hemlock trees.” Most importantly, a curious new flyer has popped up all over Goldwin Smith, and I’m kind of in love with it. And, since I’m a horrible person and I mock things that I love, I drew with my bitchin’ new Crayola markers (recommended by teachers!) all the fuck over it. It’s all about a Freshman who’s lookin’ for ROCK STARS who are teh chillness. R U THE 1? Click on to see it!
A Cautionary Tale: Spying on the Unchristian Linden Ave “Crack House”
Saturday, March 7th, 2009
The infamous Linden Ave “crack house.”
Determined to fulfill the conventional narrative about drugs, dealers, and their places of residence, I ventured closer and inspected the door.

Snaps of the Day: Hillel and CIPAC’s New Quad Display
Monday, February 23rd, 2009
Since Peter Fritch and I have already covered the ongoing campus debate about the recent flare-up in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict here and here, we’re going to present the following pictures of the new, “pro-Israel” Arts Quad display without comment. A note: I’m not sure if I got all of the signs, but my fingers were about to freeze off and lose grip of my precious, precious camphone, so take it or leave it.
