Dr. Randy Pausch, computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University died today. Dr. Pausch lectured last year in CMU's "Final Lecture Series" in which professors are invited to give the lecture that they would if that were the last lecture they were ever to deliver. Randy had known from a...

Guess I'll plug my talk. I'm going to repeat the paper presentation I did at TAM 5 at the Seattle Skeptic's meeting. Seattle Society for Sensible Explanations I certainly wouldn't describe me as "acclaimed" but I should do better having given the talk once and having a lot more time, and with...

This was new to me, so I hope it's not a repost. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADPc3ZF5Yok An extremely interesting lecture, I found, by Richard Dawkins in 2005, but not exactly on the subject we normally see him on these days. Rather, it's centered about Haldane's "querer than we CAN...

As a graduate of The University of Central Lancashire, (UCLAN), I was very interested to read in Randi's commentry that Richard Dawkins is to give a lecture in the new Darwin Building at UCLAN campus. I logged on to the web site of my old university to take a look in more detail however, as I...

I had the pleasure of attending the lecture Randi just gave at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. I wish I had another set of thumbs. Two thumbs up just doesn't seem enough. I especially appreciated his positive view of life and the world. And they say that skeptics are...

This evening I visited the yearly "Huuhaa"-award ceremony of Finnish Skepsis society. The guest speaker this year was Mr. Randi. First, from my point of view the ceremony happened on the worst possible night since I have a hard deadline tomorrow morning (I have reserved time from a bookbinder...

Now, understand it's late and I'm tired, but I'll do the best I can. The lecture began at 8pm, but I didn't get there until 8:30pm. The speaker was John Zaffis. His contact info was available to take down after the show, so I did. His web page is www.prsne.com and his phone is...
