It must be my birthday. I got an email at work today from a guy asking if we’d be willing to have his anti-evolution talk presented at the SSA Annual Leadership Conference this weekend to the 200+ science/critical-thinking-minded students present (along with biologists PZ Myers and Jen McCreight). My first inclination was to send him [...]

Good numbers and being in control
July 26th, 2011 
JT Eberhard I went to the doctor yesterday and had some pretty rockin’ vitals. Blood pressure: 100/70 Heart rate: 44 bpm I’ve been told by a couple of nurses that those are pretty athletic numbers. I also benched over 200 lbs for the first time in my life. 200 lbs is 117% of my body weight. I [...]
Living the dream, because it sure feels like one…
July 24th, 2011 JT Eberhard My parents were on the road this weekend seeing a boxing match. My father sent me this email upon their return. So, I’m checking out of the Best Western Route 66 Rail Haven motel in Springfield this morning and the desk clerk pulls up my bill and says, “Oh! Are you related to JT Eberhard?” [...]
That’s not much…
July 24th, 2011 JT Eberhard It is a sad day. One of my favorite, most irreverent youtube atheists has come down sick. She tweeted about it and I offered support in the same way droves of Christians think they’re going to solve the world’s problems. If you’ve got a free moment, head over to her channel and tell Pandy [...]
Jessica Ahlquist, the tiny giant
July 24th, 2011 JT Eberhard Jessica Ahlquist is the high school student fighting her school’s administration to have a Christian prayer banner removed from the gymnasium at her school. I first met her in April, at the American Humanist Association’s national convention in Boston where Jess received a standing ovation from all those in attendance. Yesterday Jess wrote about the [...]
Morning ramblings from a guy who knows little about the subject matter
July 24th, 2011 JT Eberhard “I don’t think, honestly, that we’re an animal built to be happy. We’re an animal that was built to reproduce. I think the happiness we find, we make.” ~ Helen Fisher, neuroscientist I just saw a snarky video by Rebecca Watson titled “Dating Advice”. I lol’d. It reminded me of one of my favorite TAM [...]

Convict the killer – convict unreason
July 23rd, 2011 JT Eberhard A man has gone on a killing spree in Norway. The death-toll is at 91 right now. If you want all the gory details along with some solid commentary, Ellen Lundgren has a good post up at Skeptic Freethought. It always seems insensitive to write about things like this so soon, but I think we [...]
Management through monotony
July 23rd, 2011 JT Eberhard I went shopping last night and it occurred to me that there was another facet of my battle with anorexia I could share. Shopping for me is easy. I don’t require a list, I don’t need to meander through the aisles to see what’s good. I know precisely what I’m going to get every time [...]
Friday fitness: the JT, Sid, and Conrad show
July 22nd, 2011 JT Eberhard And away we go! Conrad: This week Conrad, legitimately, dropped below 200 lbs for the first time. For this, he gets the Friday Fitness gold star for the second week in a row. That’s a huge accomplishment! Good work, Conrad. He also added 10 lbs to his leg press routine, which is now at [...]
