Epitaph One

So, what could possibly go wrong? Oh.
“Epitaph One”, the unaired, so-called “thirteenth” (it was really the fourteenth), “lost” (I think Joss pretty much knew where it was) episode of Dollhouse, has, you will be shocked and astounded to learn, been somewhat overhyped.

Syracuse University’s Ugliest Buildings

A few days ago Jake Haller blogged about Brown University’s ugliest buildings. I felt like doing something similar for Syracuse University (SU from here on), but right away I realized there was a problem: How to select only a few? A post about SU’s attractive buildings would be considerably shorter. Still, I took a camera [...]
