You have been added to my Streisand/Spartacus list of blog posts all written after Andy Lewis went public about the attempts to silence him.

There are so far ninety such posts, all gathered together for the convenience of Mr Stephens.

I thought that might have been the case.

Thanks!

The TAM Australia definition came first. I liked it, so incorporated it into my Skeptic FAQ.

Nice job Ed. I look forward to seeing your presentation when I edit the videos.

There’s a TONNE of variety! There are about fifty ‘tracks’, or themes. Everything from Trek, Star Wars, Anime, Literature, Robotics, a Film Festival and Weapons. It’s not purely sci-fi, it’s “popular culture”. They also had Shatner, some of the cast of sci-fi shows like Eureka and Stargate Atlantis, but I steered clear fo them mainly because the lines were horrendous, but also ‘cos ther was other interesting stuff going on. I mainly kept around one little corner which had Skeptics, Science, Podcasting, Space and Robotics – we called it the Reality Section
But that was the difficulty – there were many times I wanted to go to a panel i the Space track, a lecture in the Skeptics track, a sciene or skeptic podcast being done live in the podcasting track etc… so there were some tough choices. On the other hand, it worked out kinda well because I didn’t need to check the schedule sometimes, I’d just pick a room and find a seat – chances were it was something interesting!
People came from all over the US, definitely. I know of another Aussie (Kylie Sturgess, see episode 20 of Science on Top!) and I was talking to a Brit who came over for the Con, but there may be others I just didn’t run into. I did hear they hit 60,000 registrations this year!

Sounds like there’s heaps of variety going on. Do they have multiple lectures on at the same time or is it paced so you can attend every one if you really want. What’s the connection between sci-fi and the lectures? Have people come from all around the World?

Dude, I’m exhausted just reading that! Where did you get the noise canceling headphones for about $100? Want!

Yeah, it was an adventure alright! Being awake wasn’t so bad, it was the constant sitting down or constant standing up (particularly when in the queue at customs or waiting for my luggage) that was the real killer.

Rest of my response became a new post.

Wow, now that was an adventure. Geez – being up for 40 hours would be a killer, but I guess the excitement and adrenaline gets you through. How’s the food in Atlanta? When does Dragoncon start?
