Skeptic Magazine, founded by Michael Shermer of Cal-Tech–famous for his battles with Holocaust deniers and UFO-ologists–went all web 2.0 and got itself a blog.

Throughout high school and much of college, I remember eagerly waiting for this quarterly publication with its glossy covers and New Yorker length articles. Over the years, I was introduced to the thoughts of S.J. Gould, James Randi, and of course Michael Shermer, as well as Thomas Henry Huxley, Alan Turing, and Alfred Russel Wallace.

I have since lost interest. I simply don’t care to read further debunking of alien abductions, Reiki, and human cryopreservation. I’m sure as long as the Hyrda of human delusion sprouts heads, Sceptic Magazine will thwack, thwack, thwack away; so more as a gesture of general support than one of actual interest, Skepticblog will be added to the biolog roster. Oh yeah, and they stole Phil Plait from Scienceblogs!
