Skeptic Article

The article that Burt Humburg and I wrote will be in the next issue of Skeptic, but in light of today's ruling, they decided to post it online today. You can see it here.

Before we go any further in analyzing and celebrating today's ruling in the Dover trial, I think it's really important to give out some attaboys to the people who made this happen. Burt Humburg and I just finished an article for Skeptic magazine where we went into a lot of detail on the behind-the-…
This has been in the works for a few days, but now it's official. I am joining forces with Burt Humburg to write a detailed history of the Dover trial for Skeptic magazine. Burt, as I noted before, is the Typhoid Mary of the ID movement. He's not afflicted himself, but he appears to be a carrier;…
Well, I am back from the Science Blogging Conference, exhilarated and exhausted! After months of preparation, and last few days of frantic last-minute work, the Big Day has come and I could finally relax and enjoy myself. And enjoy it I did! I hope the others did as well. First order of duty:…
D-wave systems, whose paracomputer, err, I mean quantum-maybe computer, which sparked quite a bit of controversy earlier this year, is back in the news. This time D-wave is at the big superconducting conference (SC07) being held in Reno, Nevada and is demonstrating a 28-qubit quantum-maybe…

You're going to have an article you co-wrote in Skeptic? Man, that's so freaking cool. I'll read it online, of course.

Now if you can follow that up with an article in Skeptical Inquirer and top it all off with another in Fangoria, you'll be as a god to me.

This is so far down on the main page, but Ed: I wanted to compliment you and Mr. Humburg on the article.

Your synopsis was just excellent, and more to the point, captured what the case was really about in a very cogent, accessible way.

Thank you.
