Introduction

Hello all, welcome to my blog.  This is my first blog, so constructive feedback is appreciated.

A little about me:

I'm a science enthusiast, who makes it a point to try to understand all areas of science, and I endeavor to keep up with what's new.  I'm an avid reader of books, listener of audio books and podcasts, and watcher of documentaries.  

I'm a skeptic (not a cynic), which means that I don't just accept claims without understanding the evidence, and the reasoning, behind those claims.  For the exact same reason, I'm also an atheist, which simply means I'm a non-theist, in that I do not hold any god-belief.  Or to put it another way that you might relate to, we're all atheists when it comes to other peoples gods.  I simply use the atheist label, to describe my own lack of theistic belief in all gods.  I'll become a theist as soon as someone can demonstrate that their god exists.  If you have any good evidence, I would certainly like to know.

My reason for this blog: 
I'm often the go-to-guy, when it comes to evaluating new health claims, science claims, anti-science claims and supernatural claims.  My intention is to use this blog as a continuation of that function.
