Dress To Impress: A Guide for My Guy
(07/25/08 8:00am)
It's Saturday morning. Your head is pounding as you try to recall any parts of last night you can " like how you managed to get back to your off-campus house without getting arrested by H-Po? It's all a bit hazy though. As you pop in a painkiller, take a swig of water, and roll over to get a few more hours of sleep, you quickly realize you aren't alone.
Irony? In the The New Yorker?
(07/18/08 8:05am)
It was a slow news day, indeed, that prompted the major media to pounce on The New Yorker magazine like a pack of salivating jackals on a tender, wounded baby antelope. Chris Matthews lambasted it, Wolf Blitzer certainly caught his beard in a ringer, and the perky ire of all those blonde Fox News vixens and supple MSNBC brunettes reared its awful head. Bill O'Reilly came out against the magazine, whilst wearing a grin normally categorized as "shit-eating," probably just because The New Yorker is a manifestation of that all-pervasive "liberal media" so influential among the wry, esoterically-witted crowd comprising most of this country. Even crotchety, wet blanket John McCain expressed disapproval of the cover and defended his rival (though I hear that he doesn't go for complex irony and instead favors the Fatty-Arbuckle-riding-a-bicycle-with-a-comically-oversized-wheel variety of humor that was so popular in his youth).

Toe to Toe: Hodes Vs. Schmidley (Schmidley)
(05/19/08 8:26am)
Today's column marks the end of our "Toe to Toe" tenure. I am a bit too lazy to count how many rounds my colleague and I have had in the ring during our year-long term, but one number I am quite certain I am in the ballpark of figuring out is the figure I like to call "less than or equal to five," which represents the number of wins Hodes collected since we started last Spring term. In the spirit of our departure, we decided on a "final battle" recounting the best of our 30,000 or so (each) "toe to toe" words.
El Greco, Velazquez, Ribalta drop jaws with detail
(05/12/08 6:51am)
The Greek himself is largely the focus of this exhibit of Spanish art, currently on view. Fortunately for those who know little about painters of late- and post-Renaissance art in Spain, this exhibit offers plenty, even for the most casual art lover: I watched what must have been a 10-year-old kid who, after ambling with disinterest through a gallery of portraits, found himself in front of El Greco's wild "Annunciation" and mumbled a startled, "Wow."
What does your thesis say about you?
(05/02/08 8:11am)
If you're writing a thesis on "Mesopheric Meteoric Dust" you probably went to space camp as a kid. If you're a guy writing a thesis for the creative writing department, I'd guess you're the brooding, sensitive type. Anything earth science-related probably signifies that you consider showering optional. Or does it?

Jacoby links climate to economy
(04/11/08 7:03am)
Jacoby likened climate change to a game of chance. He represented temperature increases as sections of a "wheel of chance," with each increase representing a part of the wheel proportional in size to the likelihood that the mean global temperature will rise that amount.
