In short: I’m now the President of the University of Melbourne Secular Society. Yes, yes, I know — I probably shouldn’t have taken this long to blog about this, but in my defence, I’ve been insanely busy ever since elections last Friday. I’m currently in the process of getting the new committee into gear for [...]

Free…except for your immortal soul!!! Bwahahahahahahahaha!!!

Tomorrow Catherine Deveny is coming to give a presentation/discussion/Q&A session for the Secular Society. If you didn’t come last [...]

There’s no easy way to say it — if you didn’t come to the Jamie Kilstein Q&A on Wednesday, you missed out. Lucky for you, the whole thing was filmed, so you can and should still check it out — video posted below the fold.

If you didn’t attend last week’s Q&A session with Fiona Patten, you missed out on something great. Fiona gave a talk that was extremely interesting (if a bit unnerving), and her political party — The Sex Party — is definitely on its way up, with impressive political stances on censorship, human rights and sexual freedom [...]

Ugh. So, it turns out that when it comes to compressing videos, Windows is about as effective as pissing into a bushfire — I’ve yet been able to find a program that is both free and that will perform the simple task of compressing my videos without putting a watermark on them. If you know [...]

As a follow up to last week’s initial Answers to Creationism Nonsense event, the UMSS is holding another event this week – tomorrow in fact! We’ve managed to get Professor Robert Saint on quite short notice (he’s a busy, busy man!), so we’re quite excited about this. This talk will focus less on the historical [...]
