Update: A much better post about this course and its use of the blog was written by Luke Waltzer here, read that instead.
Mikhail Gershovich’s “Fear Anxiety and Paranoia” film class had some unexpected visitors: student zombies! Something Tom Woodward and I have always known existed, but it is horrifying to finally see them emerge in [...]
Jeff Swain recently published a video asking others why they Tweet, so I figured I would respond. As usual, it’s hard for me to be serious about anything, especially through video, and despite two takes at a response I still think I failed. But hey, I’m the bava, and my theme is clean

If you don’t think Tom Woodward is a total maniac already, you’ll need no more proof than this to be finally convinced. How can I not love this guy with all my heart, he is the creative master behind everything on the bava of worth for just about the last two years. Long live the [...]
Andy Rush illustrates the truth with this tweet! The bava, shaping traffic patterns since 2005!
