- Dragon*Con scheduling update!
I spoke to Swoopy, and she says \"...Podcasting and Skeptics have a wall that we can open up to share the room, and since [Geo\'s] show overlaps both then we decided to combine so more people can be in there.\"
As a point of reference, the rooms Podcasting and Skeptrack will be using are the same rooms the Singing Tesla Coils were in last year. - As a member of the Dragon*Con Podcasting Track staff I will try to get in touch with Swoopy to figure this out. My best guess would be that since Derek is in charge of the Skeptic Track, and Swoopy is in charge of the Podcasting Track that they will just combine their powers (making Geo a sort of Skeptical Captain Planet?) to create a Skeptopodacktical Monolith.
You want a REAL scheduling conflict: Phil and Kevin\'s: Science of Sci-Fi panel is ALSO at 10pm on Saturday. - George...tried sending you an email a couple of times, however they all keep getting bounced back to me. Thought it was because of my work\'s computer system, but I tried from both my iphone and from home to no avail. (it is possible that someone may have to go and add podculture.net to your whitelist) Normally I would go ahead and post here in the comments, but on this one.....well I\'d rather not. If nothing else I\'ll chat you up at Dragon*Con later this week.
Brad - Ted-
Thanks. We\'re aware of the double booking since the schedule was emailed to us. We didn\'t list the two but combined them on the Upcoming Events page as we suspect the same thing.
Well- we\'ll see what happens. If they\'re not combined I think the Maestro is going to have to activate that bi-location superpower.
best,
Ms. Info - Great sea lion story. I\'m looking forward to more Galapagostories...

http://jazzsick.wordpress.com/ - George,
I just was looking at the DragonCon program, and they have you at two places at once. 10pm Saturday has you doing your live Podcast at the Podcast track, and the 2.5 hour block you mentioned. I\'m assuming the one on the skeptics track is where you will be doing the podcast. - Another great resource for reading the Bible: Asimov\'s Guide to the Bible by the late, great Isaac Asimov. He puts the whole thing in its historical and social context, and it\'s fascinating. I consider it a must-read for any skeptic with an interest in religion and religious history.
Also great is David Plotz\'s Blogging the Bible at Slate. Plotz, a non-practising Jew, decided to finally sit down and read the Torah, and to blog it book by book. A great take on (most of) the Old Testament.
- Sure. Hob-nobbing with the rich and famous. Well, famous, anyway. OK, famous in very small circles. Still, Phil Plait! He\'s like so totally almost famous. Bet it\'s all dark glasses and \"Lindsay this\" and \"Paris that\" when you\'re around him.
Good to have you back.
You know, you have the right idea. I\'m a parent and realize I STILL can\'t speak with authority on any part of it.
Here\'s the issue. At what point do you get to consider your parenting a success?
I will NOT be seeing you at D*C and I am starting to believe that it really blows that I won\'t be there.
