A few new developments on the horizon and looks like the off-line life is going to be a little more serious than usual for a while too.
For people who haven’t checked out all the work on this site (there’s actually quite a bit, the more I look over it, which honestly surprises me) – here’s a few favorites that you might have missed and might like to read in the interim.
Perhaps it’ll tide you over – please suggest to others that they should subscribe? There’s bound to be more of this next year… oh dearie, dearie me…
Skeptical Books for Children – Part One; Part Two and Part Three and Part Four and Skeptical Books For Children – Part Five – An ongoing series for parents, educators, authors and those enthusiastic about outreach to the younger years.
The Sarah Silverman Of Skepticism – I get comical, historical, psychological, cultural – all in the one post! No, I’m not doing anything on video with Matt Damon, sorry.
Mind The Gap? – Women, sex, gender, science, boys, girls, reading and why reading strategies should be applied to all learners regardless. An offshoot of my Skeptical Cooks for Children sequence.
This Is All You Got In This Size? – Book reviews of ‘Full Frontal Feminism’, ‘Citizen Girl’, ‘She’s Such a Geek – Women Write about Science, Technology and Other Nerdy Stuff’.
Nothing In the ‘Verse Can Stop Me – Skepticism can be poetical as well as a practical approach to weird claims. Just see how poetry and science can work together.
Step To It Science Superstitions (I Don’t Cheerlead In These Shoes) – What exactly does my research involve? And why don’t I find my shoes as important as the stats?
Smart Bitches, Not Meerly Sex – Romance, literature… uh, sexy animals? An essay that shows how love and plagiarism points the way to science appreciation and integration.
The Specialness Of Species – Reflections on diversity, taxonomy, skepticism and the contributions of Dr Seuss! Please, don’t eat the daffodils.
Some things that happened this year include:
Little Duke Productions, Verses, SkepticBlogs’ Ambush Skepticism And What’s So Funny Punk(ed)? – a satirical show from the UK, well-known for their very silly skits… is somehow interpreted differently when they try it in the USA.
Cuttings – I used to wonder what would happen to me in an emergency. What I really didn’t know was what would happen to me in an emergency when the person I wanted to help was saying ‘do not help me’.
My Not Drinking Alcohol Is Not Your Problem – show me you can deal with it. You’d be surprised how many I’ve learned just can’t.
Some of my Dragon*Con adventures include:
Live-Blogging At The Psychic And The Serial Killer
Feel free to zip in a few comments about suggested directions for the new year too. I’ll have something special arriving on Christmas Day, that I’ve worked on for a while. I hope you’ll like it. Send in some feedback on that too. Take care of yourselves – you mean a lot.
