An interview with James Randi on his legacy and his mortality

We interviewed Randi at TAM in 2013 and had a discussion with him about his life’s work and his thoughts on dying. I’m giving you early access to this interview. I will post it to the public tomorrow. We might play it on the live stream tonight as well.

I hope you all are well.

-Jay

James Randi

Our friend and hero James Randi has passed today. I am crushed by this news. Our relationship with Randi goes back 30 years. He was 92. Even with a long and wonderful life It's horrible to know he is gone.

Skepticism would not have the footprint it does today without him. He influenced and helped shape the movement.

SGU Productions Game Show Project

Hey everyone! 

If you joined us at NECSS this year you may have seen the game show we ran. We received a ton of great feedback from the audience. The truth is though we knew that if we had the time there was so much more we could have done to make that game show better. We decided to commit the time to do it and are now at the point where we are ready to test run the new and improved version of the show. 

Here is where you could help. We are looking for test contestants ...

NECSS 2020 & Virtual Reality

SGU Patrons,


NECSS is 5 days away and we hope you can make it! Here is the link to register: https://necss.org/


We have something really cool to share with you. If you are a patron at the $8 level or higher you will have a chance to join us in the SGU private VR room during both days of NECSS. We only have 30 seats available because of resource limitations. It turns out that running a VR server is serious business....
