  • Zaloom Update

    A few months ago, I blogged about puppeteer and political satirist Paul Zaloom, formerly of Beakman’s World. At the time, Paul’s web site and contact information was not live but he just sent me an email letting me know that his sites are up and running now. So this is just a quick blog to add his sites. And to…

  • Skepchick Con Update

    For those of you who have been waiting with bated breath (and those who have no idea what I’m talking about), I have news about the upcoming Skepchick Con/Skeptics Track at Convergence. We have confirmation that PZ Myers and Pamela Gay will be attending (w00t!), as well as our own Rebecca Watson (and a handful of other Skepchicks) and I’m…

  • Afternoon Inquisition 3.31

    I generally steer clear of the skeptical based questions for my Tuesday AIs.  The reason is twofold: 1) My fellow bloggers do a killer job making sure we flex our skeptic muscles frequently, and 2) I feel like ‘skeptic’ is only one facet of a personality, and it’s important to see what other goodies are in one’s online self. Mostly…

  • Afternoon Inquisition 3.30.09

    I find it intresting that the topic of spanking is still controversial. It seems to me that the evidence is in and that the consensus is against spanking. Studies show that spanking is no more effective for behavior correction than other forms of discipline, arguably even less effective. And yet, it’s still a widely accepted form of discipline… some people…

  • Skepchick Quickies, 3.30

    Top ten mysterious diseases – kind of. Chasmosaur says: “Suffice it to say that the implication that doctors are merely prescription-writing idiots and that medical researchers are too dumb to figure out such minor diseases as AIDS and Alzheimer’s annoys the snot out of me.” Somnambulism in the Internet Age. (Thanks to Elianara.) Did Google Street View capture a ghost?…
