The residents of a upscale British Columbia highrise condominium building are pissed. The University of British Columbia is building something in their backyard and they won’t have it.  So what is UBC constructing that has them spitting nails? Is it a prison? A casino? A noisy nightclub? A factory belching out black smoke? A […]

Brad Upton who headlined our “AaA: SoS” comedy benefit back in December is back in town tonight, Friday and Saturday at Laughs Comedy Club in Kirkland. The Facebook event for tonight is here. If they ask, tell ’em we sent ya!

(Thanks, The News Tribune, for not yelling at us for using your photograph. (Bruce Kellman/The News Tribune)) Clay Huntington owned a radio station in Tacoma.  Essentially, the only radio station in Tacoma that actually cared about being in Tacoma.   There are other radio stations in town, but they’re all pointed north. Last winter, a […]

Server went explody. Something unrelated to Ask an Atheist hosting, but important enough to the project (and my business) that I needed to focus on it rather than doing video production.   So we might not have video for this episode until the end of the week– later than our usual Wednesday posting.

…But this had to happen.   If you think Camping is at all sorry for the harm he’s caused his followers, you’re mistaken.  In fact, his response sounds more like a bitter parental figure trying to turn this situation into some trite lesson on hard times and learning to cope. “If the public wants me […]

Time: 04 June at 21:00 – 05 June at 00:00 Location: Cafe Venus / Mars Bar (609 Eastlake Ave E) DvOd, Three Ninjas & Tangentbot, and Julia Massey […]

Gawker has the beginning of the expected backpedaling.   And the backpedaling is… depressingly unsurprising. As we, most religious people on Earth, and everyone outside of a little multi-million dollar media conglomerate/winnebago borne cult expected, the moment the world was advertised to end came and went with the usual mediocrity. A couple hours later, we […]

  As the crew of “Ask an Atheist” collapses into some well-earned rest, we’re taking a step back and looking at the whirlwind of a week we’ve had. In the final days of Family Radio’s  Rapture-stravaganza, the media started taking a keen interest in the end of the world and our reaction to it Here’s […]

    It’s been a long weekend, and we’re tired and our ankles have been replaced with pain.  We’ll have a summary of our media exposure, the podcast will be up in a bit, but we’re recovering. In the meantime, enjoy a sleepy kitten picture.
