tam5

I finally got around to posting some of my TAM5 picts. I'm a little disapointed in them, as I was experimenting with not using a flash, but please fell free to check them out. Unfortunantly, I can't post my url yet, but they're in myspace followed by /61021087

Ok, it has taken me a long time to finally get these pics up for everyone to see, but here they finally are. I have some from TAM, plus the forum party, as well as various Vegas shots. Oh, and a few of my twins but you can ignore those ;) On day one, I did not have my camera set correctly, so...

Actually it's just superhuge. It took a month just to put up all the freakin' pictures. They better load! I can't remember how this board does links, so it's old fashioned copy and paste. Here's the link...

Well, sort of. My junior skepchicks returned home, and were written up in their high school paper. I've posted a scan of the article here on my blog. They were a bit fuzzy on some of the facts (hey, Dad wrote the check to TAM, not them), so Randi's name is spelled incorrectly, and they...

So a few of you may know that after my brilliant talk at TAM5, I was quickly whisked away to embark on an adventure. It involves the slammer, a slight factor of fear, and of course a vast conspiracy of such epic proportions that it cannot, in fact, even exist. Therein lies the tale. Enjoy.

I snapped about 2000 frames of the speakers and performers at TAM5. You could say I was focused on the photography, but then someone would hurt you. I kept about 10% of the shots. And I fussed and fiddled to make them presentable. When you pick 1 in 10 shots, you have the luxury of catching...

Woo hoo, here comes the first of a series of interviews from TAM5. These are going to be AWESOME. This week we have: James Randi Todd Robbins Hal Bidlack Eugenie Scott Many, many more to come. Download it from iTunes or off the site at...

Okay! I've crunched the numbers and here's how we came out. The forum party took place on the 25th floor of the Riviera in a 1200-square foot king suite complete with two bedrooms, a living room, a bar, two and a half baths with spa tubs, three beds, and a balcony overlooking Vegas. It...

Sorry for being so slow with this... but here they are. And here you may download this image at full resolution: http://www.hurstphoto.biz/tam/photo1.JPG And the second take: http://www.hurstphoto.biz/tam/photo2.JPG The full res images are suitable to print to sizes. Enjoy! Scott

I've been asked by a few people to write up my TAM5 experience. I hesitate to do this, because so many wonderful things happened to me that week, this is going to look like I'm bragging. It was all such a blur of incredible moments that I may well be describing some of them out of order here...

I have been posting blog entries about TAM 5, and just posted my fourth one, a videoblog with Randi. I think y'all will like it. I'll be posting more on Friday. Stay Tuned. Here are the other ones so far: Report #1: Name dropping and geekery Report #2: Hanging with my bud Adam Savage Report...

Here's a chance to post all of the inside jokes from TAM5. Don't be surprised if you don't understand 90% of this thread. After each joke, list one person who SHOULD understand. Let me get this started. Holodeck = End of human civilization (Teek) Ass juice - 3 for $11 (Moe) Smart cards and...

I like to read write-ups of TAM, so if you're blogging it, link to it! Evelyn and I are both posting synopses over at Skepchick...I've separated them into their own TAM5 category for ease of reading. Check them out here: http://skepchick.org/blog/?cat=12 (It's a blog, so read bottom to top for...

Hi, I have taken plenty of pictures again - well actually less than last year, but still lots - and I am willing to share them. Everybody who would like some pictures should please PM me their e-mail adress* or - preferably - e-mail me directly if they have my adress. Please note that, due...

Randi and 800 Other Amazing Skeptics

I am staring at my wall, and I don't know what to do with myself. The only thing I can think of is to try to express what this past week has meant to me. After dropping Scott R. at the airport about 1:15 pm today, I started back on 215, planning to go back to the Riviera. When I got to I-15...

Darat has kindly made available versions of the TAM5 crossword. One version is pdf and the other is gif, although the gif files are divided into two files, one of the grid and one of the clues. http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/imagehosting/crosswordclues.gif...

I just got back from TAM5, and I just wanted to know what the deal was with the exchange that was going on between someone named Tobias and whoever else on the bulletin board. I mean, why of all the places, a bulletin board at a skeptics convention?

OK, so TAM5 has arrived at The Riviera. Attendees are settling into their rooms. Those who have attended previous TAMs will make inevitable comparisons to previous accommodations. That's just how it works. We're all grateful to have a TAM to come to and stand in awe of those who work so hard...

Hey, y'all: Keeping with my policy of putting everything off until the last second, I have a bunch of questions that hopefully someone will be kind enough to answer: 1. How are people getting to the Riv? We were playing with the idea of the taking the Deuce (we're cheap). Anyone have a yea or...
