Guide
This page will slowly evolve over time to be a central navigation point and operations guide for the skep/dad blog. Of course, that capacity will depend on the writing of articles, the linking of information, and the growth of the blog itself. Navigation includes links to overview-pages, starting points for discussions, interesting or highly-trafficked articles, and other important locations.

Edmonton Skeptical Society
As of October 2007, I’m soliciting interest for skeptics in the Edmonton, Alberta, Canada area who are interested in forming a skeptical society to contact me. Please do so through this blog or via Facebook (through the Edmonton Skeptical Society Group). Below are some of the articles that pertain directly to that effort.
Recurring Themes
I get fired up about something and write an article on a topic only to realize that the underlying theme is something I’ve touched on before and overlaps with another article. I guess there must be some core issues in skeptical parenting and raising critical thinking kids. Below are some of the themes that have emerged so far in at least two articles.
- Uber-Marketing of Children’s Products
- Skeptical Parenting in General
- Enjoying Myths and Stories in Popular Culture
- Products and Skepticism
- Reading to Kids
- The Skepdad TV Guide
- I’m not a doctor but…
- 1000 Rational Thoughts – Wherein I often become far more philosophical than skeptical, but open the door to some insight and commentary about the things I’ve been pondering.
References, Quoting, and Discussion
The skep/dad blog endeavors to provide full attribution to quoted information referenced in articles. As in any editorial, these references and quotes have been interpreted to support assertions of the articles.
If you feel your information has been quoted without proper attribution, please contact the site administrator with the correct information and we will amend the mistake as quickly as we are able.
If you feel your information (or any information) has been mis-interpreted, or otherwise used to obtain incorrect conclusions, please be aware that we are very welcoming of fair, open, and balanced discussion. Please add your opinion and voice to the article. Comments and discussion can be made using the tools at the bottom of each individual article. Comments that are off-topic, slanderous, libelous, offensive to readers or the author, considered hate-speech, or otherwise use inappropriate language will be deleted. Comments that make claims or assertions should reference those assertions with published literature. All published comments will be moderated at the discretion of the author and editor — this is an open autocracy, but publication is a privilege and never a right.
