Comments on: Weakly wrap up http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/04/06/weakly-wrap-up/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

The report on rooming with him, and his bodily functions, is available separately for an additional charge.

Yep, Wil is a cool guy. He was here in Boston a couple of years ago and I decided to go meet him. When I introduced myself, his eyes got all big and said, "That's YOU?" I guess he'd read my blog... and I'd been posting in his comments for a few years by then. We spent some time talking and I told him to be sure and visit Griffith Observatory (where I was doing some work at the time). Very cool guy... and I have his books (signed, of course). Have fun at CAW... I miss spring in Boulder, it always meant CAW... ccp Heya Phil,
