I snapped this photo in the laundry room. It looks like the pictured clothing belongs to a very enthusiastic UConn fan. Everything down to the blue flip flops just barley in view represent some serious Husky Pride!

Census 2010 : What It Means For College Towns and The Country In General
Above: Census ad that asks “should we count the cows?” Very appropriate for Storrs which has a sizeable livestock population. I attended a workshop with one of my fellow DC’ers on understanding the 2010 Census hosted by the CT SPJ at the Homer Babbidge Library this morning. Arthur Bakis and Ana Maria Garcia of the Read More
West Building Construction Seems To Be Moving Along
I snapped this photo as I walked by the construction site for the new West Building, the 42-million-dollar replacement for Arjona. I remember attending the press conference for the official groundbreaking of the site back in December, 2009 (they had already fenced off the site and made some preparations when I returned from Thanksgiving break).

It’s 83 and Sunny…In Aruba
I’m not writing from any Carribean Island. I’m still in Storrs. But a sign that I saw outside a travel agency by campus made me want to be relaxing in a warmer climate. While it may be 83 and sunny in Aruba, it’s 33 and cloudy in Storrs. Just a slight difference… And speaking of Read More

Girl Talk = Massive Dance Party
Despite the fact that Girl Talk’s multimedia show emphasizes the phrase “i’m not a dj”, he runs a massive dance party. Tonight my floor secured “reserved seats” at Jorgensen. Only the seats were not really necessary. When you hear straight mashups for two hours, it’s almost impossible to sit down.
John Oliver Takes On UConn, Basketball, Puppetry
It’s Winter Weekend. That means that the university brings in notable performers to entertain the student body. Tonight, John Oliver did some stand-up comedy at Jorgensen. I particularly enjoyed how Oliver localized his routine. He managed to mix in a few jokes about basketball and puppetry, two notable programs at UConn. (In case you didn’t Read More
