Welcome to the Class of 2015!

2011-06-30T12:23:00.012-04:00

This is what your college looks like in the fall. No big deal.Hey guys,My name is Josh and I'm a senior in TD. I heard that the blog is being sent around on the TD 2015 Facebook so I decided I'd throw up a welcome message for our brand new class.I only have a few things to say about TD. First of all, it's the best place to spend freshman year. Not only do you get to live with all the other TD

TD FALL PHOTO CONTEST

2010-10-28T18:44:00.003-04:00

Hey, loyal TDers! So, to get things moving here, it was suggested by Josh Pan (-though I'm not entirely sure how serious he was when he suggested it, but here it goes!) that we hold a Fall Photo Contest here on the blog! The rules/details are as follows: 1. Send in your photos related to the fall time, Yale, and preferably TD to me, at autumn.vonplinsky@yale.edu 2. Keep the

I MISS THE TD BLOG

DUDE FRESHMANS. As Dan Frascella, TD '12 would say...LET'S GOOOOO!!!!!

Who else want's to see the blog back in action?

2010-10-17T22:03:00.002-04:00

So I just got a post from Michael Holkesvik '13 on Facebook about the strangest coincedence--ever. Years ago, when I was a freshman, I posted the day we found out that we had received visitors to this site from all 50 states. The last state to visit was South Dakota. The celebratory post is here:http://timothydwight.blogspot.com/2008/12/milestone-frickn-south-dakota.htmlPretty boring story right?

2010-10-17T17:54:00.002-04:00

Hey everybody! I realize it's been, what, ten years since something's been posted here, but here's a long-due stash of TDDDTDDay pictures from Spring of 2010. Yeeeaaaaah!And, by the way, if you're in TD, were there that day, and are not in any of these pictures, I still have plenty more, so, if you're curious, ask me about it - I might have some of you, too!

Re: Getting it Started Up in Here (Again...)

2010-01-30T15:28:00.004-05:00

Hey everyone!I (along with many others) have noticed it's been a bit quiet in here lately. I know it's winter, birds have migrated, bears are hibernating, etc., but it's no excuse! I have to apologize for the slacking off I've done.But speaking of getting it started again, as that was my initial intention, I was wondering, what do YOU guys want to see? I'm not totally in charge here, I know,

Come on, You Guys. This is Radikalous.

2009-11-17T19:07:00.000-05:00

Sorry, I just was excited/slightly confused about that fact that my posts were going to be one right after the other. WOAH.So, this is a little abbreviated version of part of my trip this past weekend.NOTE (For AFTER you read the comic): I do know what "Eli" is referring to, but I just thought it an odd/slightly comical thing when you think about it that way..."What is an Eli?" -to try and

We'll be doing reviews of hot chocolate at coffeehouses (and some more unorthodox hot chocolate places) in quest of the best hot chocolate in New Haven.Here's hot chocolate encounter #1: Willoughby'sJackie

Bladderball Victory

2009-11-07T10:15:00.004-05:00

Although midterms may have caused our memories of our glorious Bladderball victory to fade, TD's very own Anya Wagtendonk is making sure the world doesn't forget! Check out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bladderball#Return_of_BladderballIn case some vandals get there before you do...Thanks to TD'er Katherine Xie (TD '12) for sending this in!

Casting Call... DJ of the Week!

2009-11-04T22:18:00.002-05:00

Dudes! As those of you who read the blog last year know, we used to have a column where each week someone in TD would be a guest DJ on the blog. Let's bring it back! If you're a musical master (or at least have better musical taste than me... it's not hard!), we want YOU on the TD blog.The TD blog is looking for a multi-talented individual to host this column. The specific abilities we're

Comic For the Week

2009-11-03T21:14:00.003-05:00

So here's the comic for the week. Or perhaps for the last two weeks. It's a bit on the whimsical side, but I hope it still makes sense or at least is enjoyable.By the way, if you have any funny, interesting, relevant TD-related ideas you'd like to see rendered in comic form, feel free to send the ideas my way. I'll credit you, of course, and it'll ease my mind a little, too. :DSpeaking of

Sorry for the long delay guys, midterms about did me over. Without further ado, the solution to last time's picture and the new one for this week!Sumi '13 is the lucky winner of last weeks picture, the painted TD logo. Turns out it was from the dining hall portrait, the first one you see when you walk in the door. Sumi "looks at that that painting all the time," so she knew the logo right

FOX

2009-10-28T14:59:00.006-04:00

Fox News is the highest rated cable news channel in America, and it has been for some time now. Obama seems to think that Fox News is not a legitimate news source, so over the course of his term, he has effectively barred them from the White House and interviews with himself and other important figures. The major flaw here is that Obama seems to define a "legitimate news network" as one that

Ok, this one's for everyone! I do admit, it's a bit rushed - but chya know, midterms, homework, all that. I was a bit busy. But, in the flurry that was me after drinking two cups of coffee, I finished this and now I'm posting it.
