The James Randi Educational Foundation has now posted the official video of my Amazing Meeting 2012 talk online, here it is:

Hey, I made it on this video. I’m the woohoo at the very end. Also I can hear my camera clicking there at the end too. A cameo appearance!

I remember noticing that woo-hoo at the time!

  Yeah, I tried to shut up because I was right under the podium taking your picture at that time and didn’t want you to get distracted.

Just took some of Tim’s quotes and linked the video to his Wikipedia page. There is my 5 minutes of work done crowd-sourcing today.

Remember anyone is welcome re-write the blurb I left to make it more readable, I would actually be pleased.

This was one of my favorite TAM presentations! I’m glad the video is out so I can use it to recruit even more help.

I was one of the people in the audience for this talk, and I remember when you said, “But Tim, I’m not a webmaster or I’m not a software developer, I don’t have the skills necessary to do those things!” my husband and I looked at each other, because I *am* a web developer and he’s a software developer, and it sounds like somebody somewhere might need our skills. Where are some places we can go to help out?

You know, I hadn’t thought about it before, but perhaps creating some sort of “skeptic service bureau” to connect folks with different skills to work on projects together might be a useful service…
