  • TAM 6 Days Three & Four

    I’m currently in the party suite and it is HUGE. I mean, no, huge. I took a video but the Interwebs are slow here so I’m not sure when I can get it online. In the meantime, I’m uploading pics to Flickr. I’ve been Twittering as often as I can, and I see that a whole mess of you have…

  • TAM 6: Day Two

    I’m writing this from Steve’s laptop while he’s in the other room being interviewed by a Vegas TV news station. I was just interviewed, and it was lots of fun except for that I had to rush back to my room to change (out of the see-through pants and into a dress), had no time for make-up, got lost in…

  • TAM6: Day One

    Apparently Donna came out as a creationist yesterday but I’m way too wiped out to even participate in the melee that has erupted as a result. (I’m kidding, Donna . . . I hope. Holy zombie jesus I hope you didn’t come out as a creationist.) I arrived in Vegas last night around 12:30am PT on a late flight that…

  • TAM Pre-Game

    For those of you living in caves, first of all, TAM is The Amaz!ng Meeting, held each year in beautiful Las Vegas. Second of all, why do you live in a cave, and what’s your rent? But I digress. I know many of you can’t attend this super fun event, so I’ll be blogging on Skepchick whenever possible, and when…

    Before I move on to the hotly anticipated Comment O’ the Week, I’d like to take a moment and address two important issues. First, please be thankful that it’s Friday the 13th of June and the world is still here. Yay! Second, let’s talk about you, the reader-and-sometimes-commenter. You’re our bread and butter, and it makes my day every time…

  • Canadian Women’s Mag Peddles Nonsense

    I was unaware of Autumn Stringam, Truehope, and a Canadian women’s magazine called Chatelaine until reader Sally Kwan wrote in yesterday to tell us about yet another ass weasel selling overpriced vitamins as a cure-all. In this case, it’s a company called Synergy (isn’t that word just code for “Incoming BS?”) marketing vitamins as a cure for people with serious…

  • The Secret Works!

    I knew the Universe would never fail me! For those of you who don’t know, “The Secret” refers to the “Law of Attraction,” aka the belief that you literally create your own reality through your hopes and dreams. First you ask for what you want, then behave as though you already have it, and finally you receive it. So, I…

  • Nuclear Baby Will Eat Your Soul

    Thursday is the end of the world, which sucks because I’m going to pub trivia tonight and the prize is always money off your next bar tab and there’s just no way I’m getting back over that way Wednesday because that’s the big Scooper Bowl and then I have to do the podcast. I mean, maybe if the end of…
