tam4

Having enjoyed TAM5 so much, I bought the TAM4 DVDs, and I've been playing them on my computer while working in the evenings. (I'll have to dig back through the forum archives and see what people wrote about TAM4 last year.) I was watching the "Science in Politics..." panel discussion this...

Hi All! I am very much looking forward to TAM5 and thought to myself, as I finalized my flight plans, that it has been a while since I've posted on this forum. I thought it was time to re-connect with those I've spent time with at TAMs 3 & 4, Skeptic Society events and other interesting...

I'm trying to find the thread where Bug_Girl posted a TAM4 pic of myself with Phil Plait at the Forum Party. Bug said it was in the Pic/Kari thread, but I can't find it. Can one of you brilliant tech-savvy JREFr's help me? (Phil is embracing my leg, but now in an untoward way - really.) :D

I'm having a friendly debate on another board, and I mentioned the Mythbusters appearing at TAM4. My opponent doesn't believe they would appear. I pointed to the brochure and website listing them, but he says, "that doesn't mean they actually appeared - people cancel all the time." Does...

hey, look what is out for Mothers Day! I think it's the perfect gift for any mom OK OK go to ebay and type in "James Randi" and someone else will have to do the link......

This will be the first thread I've started, 'cause I'm new. But I'm posting some thoughts over on livejournal, and I wanted to put them here too. I've really enjoyed reading over what other people thought of the same things I saw, so maybe another viewpoint is okay. First and foremost...

OK, it seems many others are using this forum as a TAM blog and picture repository. So I suppose, and the antipodean representative, I shall have to as well. Since I'm now back at work, I have to do this is little stages, so stand prepared for an ongoing series of posts and pics! Actually, I...

I did today, and parts of the print have already started to crumble off and fade! And it's not like I washed it at an insanely high temperature or with too much or too agressive a laundry detergent. Maybe I just got a defective shirt :( Better shirts next year. And in a slightly lighter colour...

I guess I've been vocal enough and geeked enough about TAM that my students who are also in Newspaper want to do an article. They've interviewed me about TAM, and are now hoping to do a Mythbusting sidebar. Here's the note they sent me. I'm looing forward to addressing these as best I can, but I...

My TAM4 pictures. (Well, some of them...) There is also a video clip of Randi levitating Ed Lu.

It was on the Thursday night of TAM4 - it's killing me that I cannot remember people's forum names. Please respond! :jaw-dropp Cheers - Mattus "Gimme more Peanut Sauce!" Maximus

Here is what turned out to be a very long TAM4 report. As I was writing it I found that so much happened that there was no way to keep it short. This report isn’t so much for the people who went to TAM (you were there so you had a pretty good idea what happened). This is for all of those...

Hi, I found several folders during clean-up Sunday. I found folders for Dave S. Elaine N. Mark C. Pamela H. Sam O. Please contact me at scott at randi dought org if you want your folder.

Hi, some of you may have noticed that I´ve taken a digital camera with me to Vegas, and that I used it from time to time. In fact, as I checked the picture total last night when I came home, there were a total of 266 pictures on the memory chip. So, if any of you had the misfortune of being...

First, I must give a huge big thanks for being one of those who attended TAM on a scholarship. I'm forever grateful to whoever provided it. I hope it won't seem that I'm not by offering this feedback. Second, a little background. My only previous exposure to skeptics events was hearing Carl...

1) Hanging out quite a bit with Patricio (and JK yesterday). I have to get off my rear end and plan a trip to Chile. 2) Having Ray Hyman and Phil Plait in my car for the trip to Red Rock Canyon, and getting to hear Ray tell Randi stories. 3) Sitting next to Ray at dinner that night, and hearing...

So am I the only one who brought an awful cold home from Vegas?

Wow. First, my thanks to all of you who came up and said such kind and supportive things to me over those four wonderful days in Vegas. It was great meeting everyone, but I'm afraid that although I can picture everyone that came up and introduced themselves, I am not going to be able to...

Back, meaning, Im back in Tokyo, which I havent seen since September. Exhausted from 12 hours of flying and moving luggage. Need to move luggage again tomorrow to a different place.

I showed my high school physics students a few clips from TAM4. 1. Randi floats Ed Lu on stage. Morning classes couldn't figure out the trick; afternoon classes could! 2. Richard Wiseman's Magic Circle: showed them the whole thing from the first paper toss to the final ovation. The funny thing...

Here is a transcript of the notes I took on Friday at TAM4. All misunderstandings and misquotes are my fault. After-the-fact notes are in parenteses and italicised. I sat next to Roadtoad the first day, and he too far more notes than I did. Maybe we can persuade him to post his notes too...

Hey, I would really like to thank all of those involved with making TAM4 what it was. I had a great time. The JREF hosted a wonderful event and all I have for those of you who put in your time and energy to make it so are kudos and more kudos. As a founder of The Skeptic Friends Network I want...

Hi, Being in Iceland attending TAM can be pretty costly so I'm holding out for the TAM4 DVDs. I have the TAM3 DVD set (going through them a second time now) and they're awesome. I have wireless headphones and having the lectures on while doing dishes and other mind numbingly boring chores...

If you've posted an album online, add a link to this thread. Here's mine to get things started. http://phyz.smugmug.com/gallery/1160843 I couldn't decide which Kari photo was the best, so I uploaded them all (sorry!).

I was going to post this as a blog entry on my site, but now that we're a few days from TAM4, I think it's appropriate to post it here. Maybe I'll edit it a bit and blog it anyway. Still... if you're going to TAM 4, please read it. *** So I carry this little card in my wallet. It's the same...

I think that I am the first. (Of people going to Las Vegas and not stoping in any other American cities on the way except to change flights.) At 3:45 a.m. (Swedish time) I started my journey or to be more precise it started at 3:50 since the bus was late. Five minutes in the cold saved me $10...

Here's the premise. When James Randi welcomes everyone to TAM4, he gives a monolog. The monolog mentions the guests (but not necessarily all of them) and makes a few humorous remarks about them. Let's all be humorists and submit remarks that might be suitable for a Randi monolog. If Randi...

OK, since I seem to have appointed myself the Logistics manager for the TAM4 Forum Activities (hey, if ya want elections, go to Iraq) one day that has not been addressed is the Wednesday before TAM4. Normally about 1/3 to 1/2 the folks get in this day and many work in the Admin/Hospitality room...

Just something I think might appeal, we'll all be seeing each other in real life in about a month, but some pictures to help us identify each other (Las Vegas is a wee bit crowded and the Stardust has over 2,000 rooms, after all). We have some the attendees over in the Newton Day picture...

My wife is cruelly kicking me out of our room at TAM IV on Friday night, to make room for the pajama partiers. I thought perhaps we could get a handful of fellow multiclass Skeptic/Gamers and get together for an RPG. Perhaps a troll hunt, so you guys can feel right at home. I already have one...
