Let’s Have A Skeptic Celebration!

by podblack on November 19, 2008

… you know how it is.

You turn your back on your blog for one second and suddenly your Wheels and Dollbaby Ava Gardner dress is hanging from a Barrack Street Jetty lightpost; there’s a classic VW Bug filled with traffic cones; one stiletto was last seen on the top of a taxi heading to the airport to meet the 9.15pm from Heathrow, and you have no idea why you’re wearing a black french lace collar with a tailcoat and just half of a Humphrey B Bear costume.

I totally rock it, in case you were wondering. Either half. Just like I rock this SkeptiCamp shirt that I wear very proudly today!

…in other words, the Podblack site is back! Many kisses to those who noticed and especially to some who actually PHONED me! Bloody hell, I’ll have to send you the one remaining shoe as a thenkque, it’s a killer. Hell on the calf-muscles too.

What I think you should be doing in the meantime (as I go fill myself a Teuco Swarovski crystal bathtub with a commemorative three-piece gel set) is head over to the site of the much loved Dr Rachael Dunlop of the Skeptic Zone podcast and telling her that she deserves all of the above adventures and much much more for her birthday today!

Whilst you’re doing so, I demand, insist and proudly proclaim the complete and total domination of the mandatory airwaves of skepticism (for at least until Friday, when the next SZ ep comes out, because we have good skeptic squishy on the way too) – by Reed Esau with ‘This One Time at Skepticamp…’ out at Skepticality!

I was very, very proud to help out with a few suggestions, as you can see on the pdf:

Here’s the text version of the essay about SkeptiCamp and the ‘Long Tail’ which I referenced in my presentation for the Australian Skeptics this year (719 KB PDF)

and the profiling is the least they deserve for all the hard work – do check out the whole show at the Skepticality site. It’s also great to have another podcast emphasising helping out Robert ‘Stop Sylvia‘ Lancaster, after Skeptic Zone did a short promo for the fundraiser two episodes ago.

Shoo! I have a long soak after a non-bloggy day and we have the Skeptic’s Circle blog carnival coming out soon… make sure you entered!

Reed Esau November 20, 2008 at 1:18 pm: Thanks for the plug Kylie! Glad to see the blog is back online.

And you found that crazy little video I created prior to our very first event while I was spazzing out on the capabilities of Keynote.

Looking forward to a SZ interview at some point in the future.
podblack November 20, 2008 at 5:58 pm: Wahh! Hello!! I’ll have to credit Richard with finding it, I thought it was great; we will indeed have to do another interview, but I’ll probably be the spazzing out one!
