Bad Astronomy

Next stop: TAM 4!

’First off : Don’t forget to vote for the Bad Astronomy Blog in this year’s “Bloggies”!

Second off: if you catch this in time, I’ll be on Coast to Coast AM Wednesday night at 10:00 p.m. Pacific time to discuss the new planet discovered (see previous the blog entry).

Third off, I’m going to TAM!

Thursday morning I get on a plane for Las Vegas, to attend James Randi’s The Amaz!ng Meeting. Woohoo! Like I did for the American Astronomical Society meeting two weeks ago, I plan on blogging as often as I can from the meeting to relate events and other fun things going on (including the poker tournament I have no hope of winning, the chocolate challenge, and perhaps – perhaps – a hallway debate between me and another astronomer on whether Pluto is a planet or not (it is, but it shouldn’t be)).

Fourth off, anyway, I may not be able to write here until late Thursday. Until then, do yourself a favor: the new and improved Skepchick website now has features, news, and more. Skeptical reading fun for the whole family! And, occasionally, nudity. So maybe not for the whole family.’
