Yes, I went to Vassar. No, I can’t admit to having engaged in any pornographic filming or ventures while a student there (although the opportunity was surely present). While reviewing some of the referrers to my site yesterday, I came across a Google search that suggests otherwise: vassar porn. Vassar was a wild place and […]

It seems that misc.vassar.edu is back online! Content, no. Archives, no. But the server, yes. That’s a start. Way to go, current info tech editor who’s behind this, whoever you may be! It would be great to track down all the archives that we had online once upon a time and restore them. Many of […]

The kick-ass animal of the day is the Kinkajou. How cool is this thing? I want one. I just read on Flo Kim’s blog about some guy at Vassar who does have a Kinkajou. He was kickin’ it with his Kinkajou on Founder’s Day, attracting hot chicks and fucking with all the stoned, tripping, drunk […]

The rain dried up, the clouds parted, and the sun shone on a picture-perfect San Francisco day that greeted the 2003 San Francisco Bay Area Vassar Club Founder’s Day picnic. More than a dozen VC alums representing classes from the mid-1980s all the way through the most recent graduating class of 2002 (soon to be […]

Too bad I’ve never seen The Amazing Race. I just learned that the winners of the most recent one are fellow Vassar alums Flo Pesenti and Zach Behr, both Class of 2001. Flo certainly looks familiar and Zach’s name is familiar, though I don’t think I knew either of them personally, even though our time […]

Way back when I realized that a Google search for Vassar alum brought up the San Francisco Bay Area Vassar Club (of which I was once president/chair) as the number one search result. I also realized that the link on my home page was pointing to said site. So as a little experiment, I changed […]

As I mentioned on Monday, I now have a Google AdWords ad for Vassar Blogs. So far, it’s generating quite a bit of traffic (30 clicks from 2,227 impressions, which is a 1.3% click-through rate — or CTR). What I just discovered from my referrers is that it’s even popping up in the New York […]

I’ve noticed that a Google search for Vassar doesn’t display any sponsored links (AdWords) in the right-hand column. I decided to change that as part of a shameless attempt to drive more traffic to Vassar Blogs. If nothing else, it’s fun to experiment with Google’s technology and advertising model. Any why wouldn’t prospective students or […]

I had an idea this morning while reading my friend Dan Rosan’s blog: Why not compile a list of all the Vassar blogs out there? Vassar alums and students are a rare breed with a powerful in-common experience. They’re also incredibly smart, thoughtful people with a lot to say about the world. Even though I’m […]
