Comments on: DragonCon: made of awesome http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/08/31/dragoncon-made-of-awesome/ 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.

However, I had originally intended to post an actual picture of a Cylon Centurion (modern), but some bloody <em>jobsworth</em> at the other end cut the link! Still, you can pore over their web-site to your heart's content. Enjoy! Thanks, Michael L!

Man, is that *the* way to watch a series or what? I only started with Eureka because I saw the ads for season 4, and thought, well, if it went 4 seasons, there must be something there. Turns out I *really* like it. Nice, silly skiffy show that does not take itself seriously, but with some underlying serious plots, story arcs and (*gasp*) some really fine continuity maintenance by the writers. And it has Matt Frewer, which is always a plus. I’ve been watching Eureka and the new Doctor Who via DVD. Man, is that *the* way to watch a series or what?

Phil, I really enjoyed the frack out of your talks this weekend. It was extremely inspirational. I will be going back to school in January for Earth Science/Astronomy Education, and the Skeptrack panels were all the inspiration I needed to get me pumped about being a Science teacher. I love you, I am now a huge fan. Thank you. I will spread the word. I had just typed an entire little thing here about me attending D*Con, and I guess it was completely lost….
