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…

Don’t forget that Rebecca will be heading up the book discussion in July. When I get back, we’ll take off with a fall reading program full of great recommended titles. First — and I’m very excited about this — two books written by Skepchick readers: 50 Reasons People Give for Believing in a God by Guy P. Harrison Many books that…

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…

Skepchick Quickies 6.19
FDA cracks down on “cancer cures”– Thanks James! More coverage at Science-Based Medicine. First successful reverse vasectomy on endangered species performed– To quote Emory, who sent this in: “Let’s say you have a horse that’s a member of an extremely rare, endangered horse species, already extinct in the wild.  Further suppose that this horse  is the “seventh most genetically…

Why I Support Intelligent Design
I wrote a shorter version of this in the comments on the quickies the other day, but I want to bring it out as a post on its own. I don’t have a problem with intelligent design. I believed in something like intelligent design when I was a kid and it allowed me to be both a creationist (believing God…
