Does Canada even exist? Really?
Okay, I’m kidding, I LOVE those cool Canadian skeptics, and they are coming together for a new borg… I mean, blog collective called Skeptic North. It includes writing from very cool people such as Steve Thoms, Kimberly Hebert, Kennedy Goodkey, Desiree Schell, and lots more. Also, check out the video section [...]

Weird Google searches…
Posted in blogs, carnival, google, personal, space, travel on June 24, 2009 | 4 Comments »
I am often amused by the search terms that lead people to my humble little blog. Here is a random sampling that really had me laughing:
Domo kun: Okay, I see this one pop up a LOT. I think I used the kitten chasing graphic once? Seriously, there are many more relevant sites that come up [...]

Ben Goldacre on MMR, autism, and the media
Posted in anti-science, blogs, critical thinking, health, science, vaccines, videos on March 13, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Ben Goldacre has an important message about the MMR vaccine, autism, and children’s health. In fact his website, Bad Science, is chock-full of science, pseudo-science, and those that can’t tell the difference.
And, despite his blog title, the hair is adorable. Very Tom Baker-esque. Also, I’ve added that “Talk [...]

It was quite comforting to be among like-minded folks, but people with [...]

One of the most important ways to spread skeptical, critical thinking is by word of mouth. Discussing the paranormal and pseudo-science with your friends and family, pointing out local examples of credulous thinking, and honing your own critical thinking skills are all part of the fun of being a skeptic. Now, you can [...]

I’m back in NYC for the holidays! I know what I’ll be doing to relax… reading the Carnival of Space #84 at Next Big Future.

As first posted on Friendly Atheist and seen on skeptigirl, 50 questions to determine if you are hardcore about your atheism:

Met at least one of the “Four Horsemen” (Dawkins, Dennett, Hitchens, Harris) in person. (Hitch signed my book and kissed my hand… did I tell [...]
