This was Vancouver in the 1990s, on West 10th Avenue, at the edge of the University of British Columbia. Stay tuned!Įdit: I can’t believe I forgot to mention our brilliant blogger Masala_Skeptic! She’s new but she’s made a great impact here.Long before the Cactus Club Café became a 29-location 'creative fine dining' chain – before the B.C.-based company finally ventured east to Toronto last fall to open its three-level, 500-seat Financial District madhouse with the retracting roof and the build-out budget of lord knows how many tens of millions before the ling cod en cocotte and the porcini mushroom pappardelle before the fine wines and the Basquiats on the walls and the hiring regime that somehow, no doubt accidentally, ensured that almost every hostess and female server should look like a lingerie model before the crushing crowds and the appointment of chef Rob Feenie as its 'food concept architect' – the Cactus Club was my neighbourhood local. Next, Iâ€™ll tackle the really exciting stuff: whatâ€™s coming up in 2008. Rad! Iâ€™m hoping 2008 is the year I win enough money to put out even more episodes of Curiosity, Aroused. The radio show! Iâ€™ll probably most remember 2007 as the year I won my own public radio pilot. I read pretty much all the comments, and they very often make me laugh and/or think (two of my three favorite activities!). My fellow bloggers! Evelyn blogged from a ship in the Indian ocean while she was out studying an underwater volcano chain, Stacey gave us some spectacular (and thought-provoking) rants, writerdd gave us a fantastic reading list and wrote up some great interviews with skeptical authors, Masala_Skeptic has offered up a whole new perspective on skepticism and culture, and Bug_Girl blogged about sexy stuff so often I canâ€™t even imagine how many visitors we attracted who were out Googling for pr0n and instead discovered hardcore skepticism. The ridiculous news stories! Here are the three most popular, in terms of how many people emailed to alert me: At the end of the summer, I got my second helping of Amaz!ng goodness when I joined Randi, Phil Plait, Richard Saunders, and dozens of other great skeptics as we traveled north to Alaska.

Plus, I threw a party so big and raucous it got shut down by security, and then I gave a presentation.

The Amaz!ng Meetings! Evelyn, Kitty, and I reported from TAM5, where we hung out with smarties like Chris Hitchens, Peter Sagal, and Scott Dikkers.

It was fun, I got a free DVD, and a lot of heathens found through it. The blasphemy! I took part in the Rational Response Squadâ€™s Blasphemy Challenge. Wizard Moment of Science contest, and of course we kicked off the year with the Guess Whatâ€™s In My Box contest. We got tons of funny Darwinian pick-up lines, some fantastic YouTube videos during the Mr. The contests! These take a bit of effort but end up being totally worth it. Here are some of my Skepchick-related highlights from 2007: Anyway, this is the time of year to look back and ahead, and then maybe at the television for awhile and then back again, and then ahead one more time. Happy new year, everyone! I know itâ€™s actually January 2, but Iâ€™ve been very busy being sick or inebriated or sometimes both, so my apologies.
