Bad Astronomy is devoted to debunking myths and misconceptions about astronomy, and also to slap down without apology bad thinking in all its forms.
Name: Phil
Age: 44
I am an astronomer, writer, lecturer, critical thinker, and, yes, calendar model. I run the Bad Astronomy website and write a blog there debunking bad astronomy, bad science, and bad thinking in general.

I just seen: you will be speeking in gnomedex 9.0! It's wicket, dude.

Also, i assume your'e a geek too(no offence, in the good way), since you talked with Chris Pirillo in TechTV, AND you will be speeking in Gnomedex.

And that Wicket thing, Wicket is dog of Chris and when he did video on wireless A/V, he used word Wicket to describe ultra-mega-super-awesome.
