AAAS Report #2: Interlude

So maybe this is just an excuse to use the hotel wireless. I don’t have a lot to report, really. I did an interview with Paul Harris today, which was fun, and eventually he’ll have the audio online. I’ll link to it when he does. I walked around the St. Louis Arch, which was very cool, and I’ll post pictures later when I have time. I am about to attend a session by the Annals of Improbable Research, and if you don’t know what that is, do yourself a favor and spend an hour or two at that site. I’ll have details later after the event. I have a panel I’m on tomorrow, and I need to get my act together for that tonight, so I’ll just sign off.

Oops! One more thing: James Randi is doing much better! Hooray!

That’s great news about Randi. He’s such a mega hero.

Hey BA, did you see the clustrmaps link on the Randi page?

I’ve no idea what you have to do to get one, but they look waaay cool. You have to get one for your site.
