Thus we resorted to Twitter for all of our occupation coverage. The above slideshow is a culmination of all the pictures we posted on Twitter taken by various Daily Cal ... http://clog.dailycal.org/2009/11/21/a-kind-of-short-quick-recap-of-the-wheeler-occupation/ "How to Have Fun and Not Die" should really be required reading for every incoming Freshman at Berkeley.

I mean, really, doesn't ... http://clog.dailycal.org/2009/11/21/lessons-learned-how-to-have-fun-and-not-die/ One hundred days ago, media studies major and former hardcore frontman Blake Kasemeier and his bike hit Berkeley pavement on a human interest quest. The premise of his blog, The Hundreds, is simple: "100 people who ride bikes in 100 words in 100 days." He's interviewed our rocket scientists and beloved pariahs alike, ... http://clog.dailycal.org/2009/11/21/this-american-bike/ Oh, wait, there's more than one? No, we're talking about the Bear's Lair vendors' strike. What were you talking about? Hm. Anyway, have you heard about the strike in the Bear's Lair Food Court? Yeah, apparently the owners of Taqueria El Tacontento and Healthy Heavenly Foods aren't too pleased with their ... http://clog.dailycal.org/2009/11/20/how-bout-that-strike-eh/ While you're howling about the 32 percent fee increases, you might be relieved to know that some things are right in the world—the Berkeley City Council just voted to protect windsurfers while at the same time approving a ferry terminal. The ferry will be another mode of transportation between here and ... http://clog.dailycal.org/2009/11/19/and-now-for-something-completely-different-%e2%80%a6/ We're currently in the lead of a little (non-meathead) neighborly competition to get Michael Cera and Portia Doubleday to come watch a free screening of their new movie "Youth in Revolt" with us on our campus. Seems fitting, seeing as Berkeley is mentioned by name in the theatrical trailer. Well, ... http://clog.dailycal.org/2009/11/19/vote-mikey-cera-to-berkeley/ We're not afraid to admit it, we at the Clog love us some "Mythbusters." We watched them a lot in our formative years, usually back-to-back and during times we should have been doing homework. We loved the elaborate set ups, the poor, abused crash test dummies and that hat that Jamie ... http://clog.dailycal.org/2009/11/18/mythbuster-in-berkeley-for-free-lecture-status-confirmed/ We cannot think of anything more lame than still being located on Bancroft Way.

(Cough. Cough.) The Symphony Orchestra of the Kurmangazy Kazakh National Conservatory ... http://clog.dailycal.org/2009/11/18/cultural-learnings-of-kazakhstan-for-make-benefit-glorious-nation-of-america/
