In Ketchikan!
Hi all, I’m on the Amaz!ng Cruise in Ketchikan (local time: 1:30pm, local weather: gray), hanging for a few minutes at an Internet cafe. So far the cruise has been wonderfully beautiful — the mountains, sea, mist, eagles, salmon leaping out of the water — awesome. Yesterday we heard talks from Randi and Richard Saunders of the Aussie Skeptics. It’s…

More on Doubt
I’ve been reading a blog called The Friendly Christian lately. It was inspired by Hemant Mehta’s Friendly Atheist blog, which I also read regularly. The Friendly Christian blog has only been up for a few weeks. It’s a mixture of personal posts and questions about faith and doubt: something that I find very refreshing on a Christian website, most of…

No parties while I’m gone!
So darlings, I have chosen this incredibly busy and stressful time to jet off to Alaska in search of adventure. Well, I didn’t choose it so much as it chose me. The JREF’s Amaz!ng Adventure sets sail Sunday, so I’ll be heading out early tomorrow morning to meet up with a ton of skeptics in Vancouver, BC. It’s been too…

Home Again…
Atop a camel in Wadi Rum, Jordan After being away for over two months, I feel strange being home again. I feel somewhat anachronistic in my own life, if that is possible. I feel as if I have traveled back in time. While I was away for two months traveling, the places and people of my life here in Boston…

Help! My city is turning into a commune
OMG, I knew this was coming but I was hoping my city council (Longmont, CO) would stand up to it. I should have known better. They always have meetings and take polls, and then competely ignore what the people want anyway. It’s happened time and time again since I’ve moved here. After this last bit, though, I’m about to give…

Godless Cross Stitch
Since we’ve been talking about being domestic goddesses lately, here’s something those of you with crafty fingers might want to make. This godless cross stitch piece is very inspiring to me as an unbeliever, plus it’s just flat-out funny. I know a lot of religious people get their panties in a wad over stuff like this (and the Darwin fish…
