Stuff
The Daily Clog accumulates various tidbits about Berkeley and college life. We focus on the UC campus, the city of Berkeley and Berkeley’s online community. We give our two cents on all the goings-on—whether you like it or not.

The Dudes
Patrici Flores – Blog Editor
Patrici is a fourth year commuter student and a Bay Area native with a penchant for over-sized earrings, bakeries and photography.

Christine Borden – Writer, former Blog Editor
Besides writing on her own personal blog, Christine likes to ponder the idiosyncrasies of life, like why socks always go missing and how to make the perfect PB&J. She also likes ponies and kitty cats so much she’s thinking about marrying them.

Jill Cowan — Writer
Jill–a first year probably majoring in English–is world-renowned in the art of making bad puns, or, as those in the industry refer to them, “buns.” When she isn’t busy honing her ample buns, she enjoys eating, sleeping and doing absolutely nothing.

Danica Li — Writer
Was once described as a heartwarming combination of enthusiasm and cynicism. Will never be described so accurately again.

Krista Lane – Writer, on hiatus
Krista has skipped off for the semester to go clogging in the Netherlands (literally). When she isn’t going Dutch, the third year rhetoric major-turned-cat whisperer is often found drinking coffee or tea, working too much and kvetching about everything wrong in the world.

How It All Went Down, Yo
The Daily Clog is a blog from The Daily Californian. In the spring of 2006, Arts Editor Soo Oh had a blogerific idea. Then she split and went to France.

That didn’t stop us. Managing Editor Oscar Shine approached an unsuspecting Jonathan Yorde and propositioned him. Then he asked Yorde to manage the Clog. Without a bead of sweat, Yorde passed the feat of pulling a sword out of a stone and he was since known as King Arthur. Wait, sorry, wrong story.

Anyway, Yorde started out with a splendid cast of characters: Angie Baecker, Gerald Nicdao and Lucas Westmaas. They all helped the blog emerge from its womb on October 16, 2006. It was alive and kicking, but no one knew what was to come.

Almost a month later, on November 8, Jeff Bowman dressed up this baby, and the Clog entered the real world, the big boys’ club if you will. The monster was alive.

Now, here we are, ready to bowl. Just as long as it’s not Shabbos. We don’t roll on Shabbos.
