Comments on: Little Atoms interview http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/12/12/little-atoms-interview/ 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.

Am I looking at the right site? This doesn't make any sense to me. In fact, I'm afraid the site doesn't make much sense to me either. I hate those Flash web site things, sorry. They are almost as bad an idea as the Fifth Element DVD menu (those who have it will know what I mean). “on the Previous Guests page and then find Phil’s name in the column on the right and click on it.”
