That was VERY creative & entertaining! And, apparently, kittens have very good taste.

Kittens rock. I just had that particular one clamber all over me then to check out the laptop (quality control, I suspect).

Hah, very nice, Kylie. The first video Skeptics’ Circle, I presume? Someone correct me on this.

Now, to read all of them…

Yes, I’m also curious what Skeptic Circle #107 was like. :P

Oh and I wish I more like NaonTiotami when I was that age. Let’s just say I was a bit more into woo back then :grin: .

The Skeptical Teacher blog is brilliant, thanks for the recommendation.

Yes – I believe it’s the first video one! #107 was the first podcast one – do check them out, the ‘Hunting Humbug’ podcast! :) They’re Australians too! :)

Nice work Podblack! You may have started a new trend.

If others try this, consider experimenting with screencasting software as well as conventional video to mix with your commentary.

podblack March 27, 2009 at 6:23 pm

Ah, what does that involve? This was just using humble iMovie. Zip me an email if you can, ReedE! :)

Best Circle…ever!

HA,

I had actually thought the number was random. Wow 108 of them.

They must be posted fairly frequently…or have they been running for years?

They have been running for a while. :) Check out the carnival’s homepage for links to previous ones (and a schedule of upcoming ones). Nice avatar, btw.

Hah, very nice, Kylie. The first video Skeptics’ Circle, I presume? Someone correct me on this.

The first podcast-type presentation of the Skeptic’s Circle was #45, which I hosted at my blog:

Now that the SC has progressed to video – where will it go next? 3D video? Surround Sound?

Nice work! Thanks.

podblack March 29, 2009 at 10:07 am

Ah, thanks Inoculated Mind, I stand corrected! :) I was thinking originally of doing a ‘Facebook updates’ kind of one, but not everyone uses Facebook. :)
