Dress-up time with Bijan

edit: of course the freak­ing Insiders post some­thing about this on the same night I’m post­ing some­thing. Argh­h­hhh. I have to go call the waaaaaam­bu­lance for myself. Nestled deeply within the AMS Exec­ut­ive Com­mit­tee meet­ing minutes of April 28 lies this gem: Exec­ut­ive Ward­robes • Bijan: Exec­ut­ives often have to attend external meet­ings and it’s […]

Cappellacci wears ugly old man blazer, lures Ackbar into trap.

AMS VP Aca­demic, Ben Cap­pel­lacci, has pulled off what some are call­ing the greatest trap in UBC’s illus­tri­ous his­tory. He has some­how lured Admiral Ack­bar, the pree­m­in­ent source of all trap loc­a­tions on cam­pus, into a trap. The trap of Asso­ci­ate Vice Pres­id­ent Aca­demic. We here at the Con­fid­en­tial were really excited when the Admiral […]

abandon ship.

The AUS Phail­boat is going dowwn­nnn. Yes­ter­day, my beloved Arts Under­gradu­ate Soci­ety selec­ted an interm Pres­id­ent. They picked someone who already lost in the pre­vi­ous elec­tion, and was essen­tially a sore loser. FML. After I straggled in, got a slice of deli­cious pizza, and star­ted to listen, turns out there were four nom­in­ees for the […]

UBC’s Balanced Budget

I got 6 emails from UBC related things yes­ter­day. One of them, I actu­ally read the entire way through. Includ­ing the attach­ment. Astound­ing, I know. What sort of inform­a­tion could pos­sibly get me to read an entire email? Love let­ter from Taylor Loren? I wish. @bowtiebrian and @zeevp are now fol­low­ing me on Twit­ter? Hopefully […]

Everybody has a blog these days…

Back in my day… nobody had a blog, MSN Mes­sen­ger was freak­ing awe­some, and Face­book was only for the Uni­ver­sity elite.

Zee VP Fin­ance, Pierre Ouil­let,  says “adopt­ing social media is another example of the power­ful trans­form­a­tion continuing […]

Hmm… voting irregularities?

731 votes from one IP in the AMS Elec­tions. Appar­ently VFM, Sen­ate, and the suc­cess­ful ref­er­en­dum were affected, but none of the Exec races are in ques­tion. From the UBC Spec­tator liveb­log of the AMS Coun­cil meet­ing: “Basic­ally the secur­ity of the sys­tem was on the front end. When you log in you go through […]
