FTBCon (Free Thought Blogs) is an all-online convention, a chance for a lot of people to get together and hangout while listening to people talk about atheist and skeptic issues. I proposed a panel on whether human immortality is a good thing or a bad idea \u00a0in principle when Myers first asked for submissions, and a few hours later I had managed to fall\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/lanyrd.com\/2013\/ftbcon\/sckxht\/\">into this<\/a>. :) I\u2019ll be speaking with<a href=\"http:\/\/www.davidbrin.com\/\">David Brin<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/freethoughtblogs.com\/pharyngula\">PZ Myers<\/a>, and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/yudkowsky.net\/\">Eliezer Yudkowsky<\/a>, which is amazing as they\u2019re all on a level significantly above mine. I guess there\u2019s some advantages to moving quickly and organizing things. Anyone who\u2019s seen any of these people speak before knows that this is going to be extremely cool, and very thought-provoking.<\/p>\n<p>The panel will taking place over Google+ on Sunday, July 21st, at 12:00noon Pacific Time\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/wwp.pacific-standard-time.com\/\">(GMT -7<\/a>). To watch, go to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/102600088268197126924\/posts\">PZ\u2019s page here<\/a>, it\u2019ll start streaming at the appointed time. You can chat with other people (and submit questions to the moderators)\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/wbe001.mibbit.com\/?server=irc.synirc.net&amp;channel=%23pharyngula\">right here<\/a>. Afterwards the recording will be put on YouTube, I\u2019ll post a link when it becomes available.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/lanyrd.com\/2013\/ftbcon\/\">full schedule of all FTBCon sessions is here<\/a>. Wouldn\u2019t ya know it, I\u2019m on at the same time as the Atheists in Pop Culture panel, with Rebecca Watson.
