Western CPAC: Stay Tuned This Weekend
  • Western-CPAC-2009-Logo2This weekend, Morgen and I will be attending the Western Conservative Political Action Conference, known as Western CPAC for short. We were planning to attend anyway but after exchanging a few e-mails about the possibility of a blog hook-up we were invited to be full participants. We literally will have a seat at the table and even a chance to interview some of the attendees. It’s quite a roster: Bruce [...]
    • Western CPAC: Images and First Impressions
  • Morgen and I attended Western CPAC this weekend. The event was disappointing from an attendance standpoint and the only real news came from a panel Saturday morning that we missed. That said, we had a chance to meet some of our favorite bloggers and to interview some of the most important conservatives in California. I have a few thoughts on each of them. Morgen may chime in or even put [...]
    • A Dad’s Chance to Brag a Bit…
  • My daughter is a freshman in high school. Besides her regular school load she is involved in something called The Academy for the Performing Arts (A.P.A.). Within APA, her major is Commercial Recording and Performance. This last Friday and Saturday night CRAD put on their Spring Retro-Fest. This year’s theme was the early 80′s (1980 – 1985). As a freshman she was blessed to be asked to do the lead [...]
    • The Man in the Hat is Back!
  • In 1980 I was 13. Star Wars had come out three years earlier. Jaws two years before that. The best film of my childhood, The Empire Strikes Back, had just come out and I was well on my way to seeing it 6 times in the theater. Like every other kid, I was in love with Spielberg and Lucas movies. Back then, whenever I got the chance I would buy [...]
    • Some of My Favorites of 2008
  • Since this is the time of year when people do “Best Of” lists, I thought I would make my own.  The posts are a mixture of faith, science, pop culture, politics and fun.  I based my list on things that made me think or laugh or angry or made me stop and reassess my life in some significant way.

    • Cross Examining ID
  • Last night I attended the Intelligent Design Under Fire event at Biola. The event included a panel of the best known faces of ID including Michael Behe, Jonathan Wells, Steve Meyer, Guillermo Gonzales and Paul Nelson. Sitting on the opposite side of the stage were a group of ID critics. The core of the critics panel was composed of three individuals from Cal State Fullerton: Bruce H. Weber, a biochemist, [...]
    • Templeton Prize Goes to Cosmologist
  • This year’s Templeton Prize has been awareded to John D. Barrow a British cosmologist who specializes in the so-called “anthropic coincidences.” The anthropic coincidences are some of the most intriguing puzzles in science. Christianity Today had a recent article which touched on them. The best book which covers them is Modern Physics, Ancient Faith by Stephen Barr. A briefer version of some of the same material found in that book [...]

    • Andrew Breitbart at Western CPAC: Bypassing the Gatekeepers

    John on October 19, 2009 at 8:02 am

    Andrew Breitbart appeared on a panel Saturday at Western CPAC. Beforehand Morgen and I had a chance to meet him in a more informal setting. Here’s the first bit of that:

    YouTube Preview Image

    Also, if you missed it in the sidebar there was some real drama at WCPAC courtesy of John Ziegler.

    In a related vein, John Schulenberg of Infidels are cool has a post up about another little bit of drama that happened Saturday.

    Addendum: Stephen Kruiser is a professional comedian who also happens to be a genuine conservative. I got a chance to talk with him a bit Saturday and in addition to being funny as hell, he’s also pretty sharp. In fact, looking at his sidebar it seems he’s a bit of a science nerd like myself. Wish I’d known that this weekend. Anyway, Stephen has written an amusing, three part reaction to the conference: The Good, The Bad and the, uh…this one. Definitely worth a read. Oh, and Steven isn’t exaggerating about the panel he was on. He was the highlight.
