Daylight Atheism Has Moved to Big Think

Ebonmuse — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 23:29:30 +0000

Change has come at last! As of today, Daylight Atheism is officially moving to its new home at Big Think. I'm planning to hit the ground running, so be sure to go there to see all my new posts.

For the moment, www.daylightatheism.org still goes to this site, but expect that to change very soon. Within a few days, I'm going to put in a redirect that will send anyone who types that URL to my ... [visit site to read more]

Still Here, For Now

Ebonmuse — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 13:46:24 +0000

As I mentioned earlier, yesterday was my official start date as a blogger for Big Think. However, it appears they're not quite ready yet, so I'm going to continue blogging here for now. I'll update with more information when I have ... [visit site to read more]

Daylight Atheism Moves to Big Think

Ebonmuse — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 10:45:04 +0000

Well, I think I've kept you all in suspense long enough. :)

Today, I'm announcing that I've accepted an offer to join Big Think, a media website whose purpose is to bring together ideas, opinions and commentary from some of today's great minds. Big Think's signature offering is its video interviews with an impressive range ... [visit site to read more]

A Change Is In the Air

Ebonmuse — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 10:44:12 +0000

Here in New York, it's been a hot, relentless summer. But in the last few days, the first hints of fall are making themselves known: the earlier fading of the light, a sudden crispness in the air, a touch of cool in the breeze. And since autumn is a time of change and transition in the wider world, it's only fitting that it be the time for a change in this site as well.

Daylight Atheism has been my home on the 'net for over five years. I've always thought of it that way, as you can probably ... [visit site to read more]

Batten Down the Hatches

Ebonmuse — Sat, 27 Aug 2011 13:16:30 +0000

As I've mentioned before on this blog, I'm a born-and-bred New York City native. And as you may have heard, there's a bit of rough weather headed our way this weekend. In fact, it seems like freak events are becoming the new normal: first, the absurdly huge blizzards we got this winter, then the earthquake earlier this week (yes, I felt it), and now the hurricane. Sheesh, nature, what did we ever do to ... [visit site to read more]

New Translation on Ebon Musings

Ebonmuse — Sun, 31 Jul 2011 01:41:59 +0000

I forgot to post this one along with the other translations that went up recently, but I'm happy to add that Ebon Musings now has a Portuguese translation of "All Possible Worlds". Thanks to Petrucio for the effort (and the ... [visit site to read more]

New Translations on Ebon Musings

Ebonmuse — Sat, 16 Jul 2011 02:38:16 +0000

I'm happy to announce that new translations have been posted for several of my articles on Ebon Musings, representing not one, not two, but three languages. My devious plan for world conquest is proceeding exactly on schedule!

First up, a Greek translation of "Unmoved Mover", complementing the visit site to read more]

Poll and Feedback: Proposed Advertising Policy

Ebonmuse — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 17:12:30 +0000

Since the beginning, I've resisted having paid ads on Daylight Atheism. But I'm wondering if the time has come to change that, and I'd like to know what readers think of the idea.

I've been thinking about this because, lately, I've been getting a more-than-usual number of e-mails from strangers who want me to promote their projects or give them financial help. The other week, there was one from a liberal Christian pastor who deplored how right-wing Christianity has become and wanted my help ... [visit site to read more]

On the Treatment of Guest Authors

Ebonmuse — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 17:46:10 +0000

Hi folks,

Now that I'm rested, I've been catching up on the posts written by my guest authors, as well as the 200+ comments they attracted. I'm mostly up to date now, and I have to say a few things about the way they were treated.

In particular, I want to speak to Leah's posts on mockery as a component of atheist strategy. I knew as soon as I saw those posts that they'd draw some sharp ripostes, which is fine. I'm not averse to people disagreeing with my guest authors - as some commenters ... [visit site to read more]

I Have Returned

Ebonmuse — Mon, 30 May 2011 11:57:05 +0000

By Ebonmuse

Greetings, all. I'm back safely from Spain - actually, I was back yesterday, but pretty much went right to bed when I got home to sleep off the jet lag and recover from general sleep deprivation. (You see, we were in Barcelona on Saturday night, which was when the home team won an important soccer match. The people were very enthusiastic in their public displays of approval, resulting in neither my wife nor I getting much sleep the night before our flight...)

In any ... [visit site to read more]

Meet Your Guest Admins

Ebonmuse — Sun, 15 May 2011 14:15:43 +0000

As I mentioned earlier this month, today is my first anniversary, and to celebrate, my wife and I are taking a vacation abroad. (We'll be going to Spain, where hopefully I'll be able to avoid the vicious hordes of elderly Catholics.) We'll be away from this coming Friday until Memorial Day weekend, and I'll probably have limited internet access. But never fear, Daylight Atheism won't go dark ... [visit site to read more]

Call for Guest Admins

Ebonmuse — Sun, 01 May 2011 19:32:56 +0000

As regular readers might remember, I got married last May. Well, I'm fast approaching my first anniversary (holy cow, it's been almost a year already?!), and MissCherryPi and I are planning to go on a trip to Spain later this month, the week of May 22, to celebrate.

Since I'll likely have very limited internet access and less time for writing while I'm away, I'd like to find a few capable ... [visit site to read more]
