Comments on: Carnival of Space, and an extra Y http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/07/10/carnival-of-space-and-an-extra-y/ 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.

I did a Web internship with Discover Magazine (no Y - and hi everyone!), my friends and fam thought I worked for DiscoverY Magazine - a Christian-oriented science mag for kids - but many more thought I worked for the DiscoverY Channel. Needless to say, now people get even more confused when they ask where I've worked :) Also, there used to be a Discovery Channel Magazine, but it's been defunct for a long while now... but that really doesn't help simplify this branding nightmare, now does it? Thanks Phil!

Or that there was even a difference. D'oh. Heh, not until the previous comment did I realize you weren’t blogging for the Discovery Channel now. Or that there was even a difference. D’oh.

The whole Discover/Discovery thing has always been confusing. I still have to think it through every time I hear reference to one of them to figure out which science-oriented media conglomerate we are talking about. It's much more confusing that the WWF issue that forced the steroid club to change its name so it wasn't confused with the panda people. No, it’s not the web.
