Skeptobot Video Rants #1 - Astrology

I wasn't going to put this on the site properly. It's a little too embarrassing and quite clearly a first attempt. But the absolute lack of content on the site for so long makes me feel like I deserve to be embarrassed.

Basically, the urge to play on the site whilst writing up the thesis meant that when someone asked me if I liked astrology I ranted a little about how it was terrible. Then in moment of procrastination I took that little bit of text and make a quick movie out of it. Mainly to learn how to use iMovie. This was the result:



What do you think? You can be harsh now. It's not a rant for a start...

Oh and anyone thinking I've put this here whilst the viewing figures for the site are at the lowest, allowing me to bury it before people return, is spot on.

Loved it. Made me giggle, although you might want to check with your lawyers, because I think Goldacre has patented the "intelligent 12-year-old" look and sound ;)

Cheers!

Yeah, hearing my voice back again was one of the most emasculating things I've subjected myself too for a long while. How people put up with it I don't know.

Talking of Ben, I've got to get back to the badscience forum next week. I've avoided it like the plague whilst finishing up my PhD because it leads to hours of wonderful procrastination.

If Burma's activities impugn Astrology, does Hiroshima impugn nuclear physics?
