There is only a little over two days left in the IndieGoGo campaign to help Foundation Beyond Belief sponsor a year-long volunteer journey, taking humanist volunteers across the world to work in education, clean water, human rights and construction projects, and to evaluate programs for inclusion in a future Humanist Service Corps. You can help [...]

Today for SSA Week I am rebutting whatever you send me.  Found a blog post that needs a metaphorical beat down?  See a facebook status that makes you do a double take?  Send them along (and a donation to the SSA if you feel so led) for me to dismantle. Feed me!

Ok, it’s SSA Week again, and I am so down for this.  So what to do this week?  A lot of stuff, and I’m going to live stream most of it at this link.  I’m testing it now, and my hair is amazing.  Apparently ustream posted a link to the stream on my facebook, so [...]

Well, this is embarrassing.  When I scheduled my flight to do the Santa Cruz debate (which I’m supposed to fly out tomorrow), I had it in my head I was supposed to fly into San Diego.  Turns out I was supposed to fly into San Jose. The fault is undoubtedly mine.  It will cost about [...]

There’s a contest going on down in Texas between a few of my favorite celebrity atheists who are all trying to raise money for Camp Quest.  I’ve been put between a rock and a hard place.  You see, I’m friends with both David Smalley (host of Dogma Debate) and Matt Dillahunty (host of the Atheist [...]

Adam Brown over at WeAreAtheism is doing that charity thing again.  He’s trying to raise money for the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing.  He tells a pretty touching story: I had to explain this to my daughter the night of the bombing. She’s almost 5 (in a few months) and old enough to be [...]

So right after I get home from the Santa Cruz debate at the end of the month I’ll jump right into SSA Week.  SSA Week raises money for, you guessed it, the Secular Student Alliance.  Convenient name for the event.  I still consider the SSA, American Atheists, and the FFRF to be the most important [...]

Mallorie Nasrallah (the person who took this picture of me and these pictures of science), is dealing with a landlord who is being flagrantly dishonest and breaking the law.  She’s needing legal assistance in the Las Vegas area to protect her business (she’s a professional photographer).  Some readers do not like Mallorie, but having met [...]

Hey gang. I used to organize events – the free kind, so that all the people who couldn’t afford to get into American Atheists or TAM would still be able to be a part of that community.  My dream was not just a second-hand conference for those who were financially barred from the big conferences, [...]
