I’m back!

Actually, I came back from Edmonton almost a week ago to an office full of work and deadlines.

I did have a good time at the “Exile” workshop up at the U of Alberta. Hung out with some old friends, read a paper on myth theory and the Hebrew Bible prophets, drank some beer and ate a ton of curry at the New Asian Village.

I also got to finally enjoy a liquid rationalization with Ian of Terahertz fame, Sonia, Bill, Nathan and a representative sample of the rest of the University of Alberta Atheists and Agnostics Club. Ian and co., of course, are the twisted minds behind the FSM “expelled” trailer spoof, and are jolly good company over a few jugs of beer.

Here is the trailer:

Anyway, the A&A@UofA were busy writing a letter of complaint to the university higher ups about the way the text for the graduation ceremony includes some kind of reference to the purpose of a university education is to glorify god. Let’s hope they get that changed!

Anyway, thanks to Ian and crew for the hospitality and the club buttons.
