Everything you need to know about the tournament….

Want a trophy of your own?…

Dunkfest

Here’s a preview of things to come over the next month….

The Festival of Stouts

Marlon Jackson · Hops’n’Scotch

March is stout month at the Arbor Brewing Company. In honor, the Crier reviews a slew of dark, rich selections, from the maligned Hitachino Sweet Stout, to the revered Dark Horse Tres.

A Falafel-Free Guide to the “Exotic”

Barb Chaterjee · The Gastronomist

Westerners have a tendency to fetishize foreign traditions. This extends to our palates; most students stick to a few stereotypical dishes. Don’t be a culinary Orientalist. Let the Crier guide you through the best “exotic” cuisine on campus.

The Light Stuff

Chann Weill · Cultured

To be sure, smoking is a filthy habit. But despite the surgeon general’s best efforts, movie stars and journalists have always managed to make it look cool. Now, with regulation increasing and classic brands like Lucky Strike fading, what are jaded hipsters — not to mention presidential candidates — to do?

Al Green

Jeremy Davidson · MP3

You’ve had a stressful week? This should chill you out. “Let’s Stay Together,” Al Green…

Jeremy Davidson · Wikipedia

One of the few lists where Michigan State is consistently in the top ten….

Point, Shoot, Upload: The Glory of Flickr.com

Phil Dokas · Tech

As blogging becomes increasingly ubiquitous, photo publishing sites are becoming more powerful. Of these, Flickr is undoubtedly the gold standard. The Crier sorts through some of the best features for you.

Jeremy Davidson · eBay

Look at this once, shame on us. Look at it twice, shame on you….

Jeremy Davidson · Wikipedia

Isn’t it ironic that the Ivy League is really just an athletic conference?…

Jeremy Davidson · MP3

One game you’re in, the next game you’re out. That’s March Madness baby. UGK, “One Day”…

Jeremy Davidson · YouTube

Penn comes back from a 14 point deficit to beat their bitter rival Princeton. Is there anything better than watching the Ivy Leagues get down…

You Really Should Be Watching Rome

Alex Dziadosz · Amused

How can you resist this show? The mingling of drama and history is the most delightful thing this side of Coriolanus. Whether wittingly or not, Rome’s producers lend credence to the Herzogian idea that truth lies in the elevation of reality.

Jeremy Davidson · MP3

Did you watch that video? Bang, bang. James White just shot you down. Young Buck’s “Bang Bang”….

Jeremy Davidson · eBay

You’ll need to start wearing these if you even want to dream of being able to jump that high….

Jeremy Davidson · YouTube

Yesterday you saw what can go wrong when you try things you see on YouTube at home. Here’s where they might have gotten the idea….

Jeremy Davidson · Wikipedia

Just what is gravity, and how does this man defy it?…

Jeremy Davidson · eBay

We are not encouraging anyone to do this at home. Absolutely not….

Beating Polio

Eugene Morrow · The Empiricist

Wild poliovirus may soon join smallpox in extinction. But challenges to eradication still exist. The greatest of these, it seems, is complacency.

The Wonders of Woot

Gerald Gordinier · The Exchange

Woot won’t feed you. Woot won’t clothe you. Woot probably won’t provide you with anything more than unnecessary gadgets. But they do it with style. Share in the egalitarian consumerist wonder that is Woot.com.

From The Editors

The Editors · From The Editor

Those returning to the Crier will notice that we’ve made a few changes. Most notably, we’ve moved to a daily format (here’s our publishing schedule)….

Gore

Katie Garlinghouse · The Pasquinade

March Madness

Jeremy Davidson · Theme

Jeremy Davidson · YouTube

Overambitious and undertalented. A tragic blend….

Jeremy Davidson · eBay

They might have done better with this more professional system. It’s the Flyslamajama!…
