As of this morning, I am hearing from students that the registration system is working finally. I was even able to register.

Once again, the link is: https://calendar.columbia.edu/sundial/webapi/register.php?eventID=25241

The confirmation email that proves registration works looks like this: 

Goodluck,

CUIT has changed how registration is working online, but I am not entirely convinced it is working.

The registration link (https://calendar.columbia.edu/sundial/webapi/register.php?eventID=25241) now redirects to a new page on http://juggernaut.college.columbia.edu/register/. The result is that a link to a UNI log-in page appears but then when users press submit they see the following extremely puzzling error:

"WIND" is the system Columbia uses to authenticate UNI's. I am emailing people about this situation now.

Thanks,

The huge interest in the Obama/McCain event brought down the registration site. Because of that the registration period has been extended until noon Saturday.

Last night President Bollinger announced that September 11th and 12th will be an event on campus that involves both Barack Obama and John McCain. Having experienced the planning of last year's visit by the President of Iran and the tough time undergraduates had in attending, I signed a letter to the Columbia Administration calling for a way for undergraduates to be treated fairly in the seating arrangements.

Here is a write-up of the letter on the bwog.

If you have any questions let me know, thanks,

This morning I'll be at "LIST 101" at 12:30 to recruit students of List College to join the GSSC. The history of the GSSC is full of great students from List. My goal is to keep that tradition alive. Just last year our first year class leadership was Alex Katz and Joey Spitz from List. It was great to watch them work with the council and the other schools to put on fun events that brought students together.

Event details: LIST 101 is from 11:45-1:00, Goldsmith Hall on 121st and Broadway (the first building on 121st)

See you there!

I had a guest on my radio show to talk about the new model of hustling in this new century. In an aching economy and a weak dollar? How can a person survive and still keep his dignity? Is the American dream for real? Listen to the conversation.
