Respectfully Insolent meetup at TAM?

My wife and I had a pleasant evening with a handful of our readers last night, but I'm aware that there are more of you here who might not have run into us at the hotel bar. What I proposed doing yesterday still stands. The panel discussion on alternative medicine "professions" in which I'm participating happens to be right before lunch. After it's over I'll try to hang out and make myself visible and, depending on how many show up, we can try to get a table together for lunch.

In comments to the Sagan post, Niall asked about how I spend my time. This is about to change, as today is the last day of my class for the fall term, then we have an extended break, but it's probably interesting in a life-in-academia way to put up my schedule at the moment: Monday, Wednesday,…

The official kick-off of the Melbourne Global Atheist convention is tonight, but we're starting without the the officials. I met Bride of Shrek (who is not green) and Rorschach (who wasn't wearing the cool shifting pattern mask) for dinner last night. I can't say I was exactly lively company — I…

Works for me.

Have a good lunch.

Sorry I can't be there.

I just saw this on MSN. In light of a discussion a few weeks ago on free speech and genocide denial laws, it might be of interest.

Sorry I didn't have time to dig up the right blog thread.

I wish I had bought the internet while I was there so I could have seen this. That's it, I'm getting a smart phone.

I'm glad I got to meet you and your wife at the Skepchick party though. I talked with your wife for quite a while about our undergrad schools (same athletic conference, similar academic rigor), nursing, and pets. She's awesome.
