Today began as most days do. Wake up, have a shower, brush my teeth, feed the goat that has taken up residence in my dishwasher, and then head off to uni. On my way home from uni, however, things got interesting.
Some of you may remember a while back Ray Comfort wrote an introduction […]

… no wait! That’s Richard Hughes and Jack Scanlan from The Pseudo Scientists podcast, and regular contributors to the Young Australian Skeptics blog.

Really I’ve been back a few days already now, but it’s taken a bit of time to get normal life organised again (whatever ‘normal life’ is), so this is really […]

A few days ago, on the 18^th, I arrived in Phnom Penh.

I must again apologise for my prolonged absence and the current hiatus on Tales From the Tubes  —  believe me, I don’t like it any more than you do. I’ve spent the last few weeks gradually moving house and trying to get things organised, and while the house theoretically has a phone line installed somewhere, we can […]
