Melbournites: Tune in the 102.70 FM now!

It’s a bit of a late notice, but for a good 40 minutes still a bunch of my friends have taken over a science radio show! They’re doing a bang up job, so get to it!

Similar to “Where’s Wally”, but…

…well, first off — it has somewhat of an Islamic twist: And secondly, while Where’s Wally is has been loved by children around the world since 1987, spawning over 20 books, a TV show and even some video games, the comic you see above was refused print by at least fourteen (and probably upwards of [...]

Things that I may have forgotten to mention…

So, I’m sitting here, busily trying to get an article done up for my section in “The Skeptic” magazine, when I suddenly realise: Holy crap. I forgot to tell my bloggees that I have a regular section in The Skeptic magazine now. Which, as far as ‘oopsies’ go, is kind of a big one. My first [...]

Bad-ass(tronomer), Bad Universe!

You’ve probably already seen this floating around the intertubes, but I have it on good authority that every time this trailer gets posted a geek somewhere gets laid. And let’s face it, they need all the help they can get… Seriously though — how awesome is that? Phil explains a bit more over at Bad [...]

I would say that Seed is in trouble if they don’t react quickly, but I think they probably already know that. Sigh. I really hope this ends soon — the Scienceblogs network would be a terrible, terrible thing to waste.

More cracks in the Scienceblogs network…

Bora Zivkovic of A Blog Around the Clock has officially announced that he is leaving Scienceblogs effective immediately. His post is well worth a read, long though it may be, as he spells out his reasons quite clearly — not only in relation to the latest PepsiCo scandal, but with regards to the history and [...]

An important question…

Buy this magazine: Pimping the Rationalists edition!

Cross posted from the Young Australian Skeptics. If you’re a regular reader of the YAS blog, there’s a good chance that you have at least a passing familiarity with the Rationalist Society of Australia — and if you don’t, you’d best get cracking. What you may not be aware of, however, is that the Rationalist [...]

This is how the crazy spreads…

A couple of weeks ago on the Daily Show Jon Stewart interviewed Ken Blackwell, a reasonably senior figure in the Republican National Committee. The interview ran overtime for the show, so rather than cut it unnaturally short the Daily Show decided to finish the interview and then post the full thing online in three parts, [...]
