Comments on: Randi and me http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/06/28/randi-and-me/ 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.

Not "bad" for content, but for quality of my camera. I have other videos from TAM6....do a search for "kittinh", but that is the one that makes me cry. Randi and Phil are both people that I admire and that I have look up to, but to me the "amazing" thing is that now I think of them as my friends. They are both great skeptical thinkers, but they are also both great people doing work that I admire and that inspires me to do whatever I can to help the skeptical cause.
