Condiment Clairvoyance
Wednesday, 16 February 2011
by David Walter
Today I went to Firestone’s rare books department to look at a book about medieval typefaces. I had heard that this book was really beautiful, and it was! I got lost in an enchanted forest of fonts, and by the time I found my way out I only had fifteen minutes left before seminar to

Dean’s Date: Time-Lapse Edition
Wednesday, 12 January 2011
by David Walter
Yesterday we introduced you to Ladytown, the Frist classroom/discotheque that worked hard and partied harder. Today, I present to you a time-lapse video (1 frame captured every 45 seconds) of Ladytown’s midnight-to-morning happenings, courtesy of Roger Wang ’11. People come, people dance, people go, but through it all, Yellow Hat stays anchored in the foreground,

The Dark Knight Returns; Or, Batman’s Back At Princeton
Thursday, 09 December 2010
by David Walter
Last week’s bat sighting in the Daily Princetonian building got me thinking (in numbered list form): 1a) What other critters might “accidentally” find their way into the office of Princeton’s paper of record? And which of those animals would be big enough, strange enough, “newsworthy” enough, to force Da’ Prince’ to violate one of the

Jane Randall Shares Her Prof Pic Secrets
Wednesday, 01 December 2010
by David Walter
Do you spend hours agonizing over your choice of a Facebook profile picture, only to worry that the pic just doesn’t feel right? (It’s weird, but you swear your eyes in the picture start to look sadder and sadder — emptier — the longer you stare at them. Is that just a “you thing”? Or

Top Model Recap: Personality Bites
Thursday, 11 November 2010
by David Walter
Cameras capture light, light reflects off surfaces — and that, dear readers, is where Reality Television must halt, unable to penetrate any further. Try as you might, you simply can’t suck a person’s inner life into a videocamera, smash it into a million pixels, and then project what remains onto a TV screen. Scientifically impossible,

Naked Parties Happen Here
Friday, 22 October 2010
by David Walter
Yale and Brown might have already gotten the full NYT treatment for their own “naked parties” — low-key shindigs where bare-skinned students drink wine, eat cheese, and just, you know, “be.” But it seems as if Princeton’s finally caught up with the times. Here’s the invite the event’s organizers shared with The Ink. From: XXXXXX@princeton.edu

Amazing Race: Where Do We Go From Here?
Monday, 18 October 2010
by David Walter
As you may have heard by now, SchwartzDY were eliminated last night on the Amazing Race. I’ll have a post up sometime in the near future about What It All Means, perhaps bundled with similar reflections on Jane Randall’s more successful run on America’s Next Top Model. And by “in the near future,” I mean,

Top Model Recap: Miracles Happen
Wednesday, 13 October 2010
by David Walter
Models today are kind of like children in the Victorian Era. To the grownups who run the fashion industry, they’re meant to be seen, not heard. America’s Next Top Model reaches consistently thrilling creative heights by turning that truism on its head. It’s a simple concept: Mic up some models, set them loose, and listen

IN PRINT: Dirty Jersey Politics
Tuesday, 12 October 2010
by David Walter
Even before the events of this past week, the U.S. Congressional race between Democratic incumbent John Adler and Republican challenger Jon Runyan wasn’t lacking for a compelling storyline. Adler is a fast-talking lawyer trying to hold on to his seat in South Jersey’s right-leaning Third District; Runyan, the man seeking to unseat him, was until

Top Model Recap: Plain Jane
Thursday, 07 October 2010
by David Walter
Oh my. I knew things were heading south for Jane when she started talking. Top Model Jane doesn’t talk! Up until tonight’s episode, the show’s fifth, she’s been edited as a complete non-entity, a near-mute. Want proof? Someone on the Internet — not me, I swear — has strung together every single moment of screentime Jane’s
