The results are in!
Since my fellow Skepchick bloggers already did the TAM 5.5 round-ups, I’m just going to say I wish I lived in a world where all the people I interact with everyday were like most folks I met at TAM 5.5:  smart, funny and rational.  (Oh, also… it kills me that I didn’t get a photo of me with the sublime Bad Astronomer!) Moving on: thanks to everyone who…

Chris Cordero, purported psychic, previously agreed to demonstrate his powers and try for the million dollar challenge in front of a live audience here at TAM 5.5. Jeff Wagg has just announced that Chris called last night and canceled, saying “he had bills to pay.” Aw. Wouldn’t a million dollars be really useful for paying bills? PS: I now have…

Some girls have all the fun….
Rub it in. While you all are enjoying the intellectual stimulation of TAM5.5 (in Florida of all places), I’m stuck here in Colorado reading stuff like this in the letters to the editor of the Rocky Mountain News: New Testament also speaks of warming I would like to add a different perspective to the global warming dialog. The Bible speaks…
