I think I need to read more Benford.
I just got an email asking for some advice. There must be other people looking for the same advice out there, so this sounds like a perfect post to file under the Ask The Mind category.
Following his interview on my show last night, PZ Myers is soliticing input from his readers on how to change his image.
As usual, whenever I slither out into the real world and actually meet people or talk to them, I get these comments: “You sound so mellow.” “You seem to be a nice guy.” “You’re like…a college professor.” “You sound wimpy.” It’s terrible. I need an image makeover. I’m looking for suggestions, and here are a few ideas:
- Hire James Earl Jones to dub over everything I say.
- Eyepatch. Pegleg. Hook. Parrot.
- Get tattoos, wear black leather, arrive for appointments on a Harley.
- Develop maniacal laugh, cackle horribly at inappropriate times, acquire reputation for unpredictability.
- Vomit blood occasionally.
- Get elocution lessons from Lewis Black.
I’ve got just the ticket. Read More…

Evolution & Religion on the Mindcast
posted in Creationism/ID, Evolution, Politics, Religion, Science Comments OffI’ve got an awesome show coming up tonight, with two guests that I know you’re going to want to hear from. Here’s what I posted to the Davis Wiki events board.
Over at Uncommon Descent, they are gleefully posting about ID and atheism both being included in a UK religion class. PZ Myers at Pharyngula is also pleased by the news. How can both sides be happy about the same thing?
This post on young budding irreligious humans at Pharyngula reminded me of something.
The most positive, optimistic development I know of is the way many young people are coming out in defense of atheism—and the ones who do are often wonderfully eloquent. I’ve mentioned my daughter’s testimonial before; now Brent Rasmussen finds another young lady’s essay that will make you feel good about the future.
