It’s that time of year again, when I go to Dragon Con and talk science and space and so on and so forth. Do you dare to stalk the wily Granade?<\/p>\n
The Dragon Con Late Show<\/b>. Every morning at 9:00 AM, Hyatt Centennial I-III.
\nEvery morning at 9 I and my co-hosts Brian and Ally will go through the latest news, schedule changes, and what\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hot for the day. And this year: guests! We’re growing up into a real morning chat show.<\/p>\n
Your Lying Eyes<\/b>. Friday, 7:00 PM, Hilton 202.
\nYou think in high resolution, but you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t see in it. Discover how optical illusions show how much of your sight is really in your mind.<\/p>\n
This is a fun one. I show a lot of nifty visual illusions and you get to learn how much your brain lies to you about what you’re really seeing.<\/p>\n
DOOM! Evil Geniuses for a Better Tomorrow<\/b>. Saturday, 2:30 PM, Hilton Crystal Ballroom.
\nHomebrew nuclear reactors! Liquid nitrogen kitchen recipes! Plus a new Evil Plan will be revealed!<\/p>\n
This year we’re taking evil plans from the audience, auditioning for new minions (since the old ones have a bad habit of catching fire), and in general having some fun with science.<\/p>\n
What The Cast \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Live!<\/b> Sunday, 10:00 AM, Hilton 203.
\nWe’re doing a live taping of our long-running WhatTheCast podcast. Bring your finest convention stories to amaze and amuse us.<\/p>\n
Disasterpiece Theatre<\/b> Sunday, 11:30 AM, Hilton 203.
\nSometimes you gotta kick around ideas to formulate Hollywood movie pitches.<\/p>\n
Alex, Brooke, Matt and I will propose the finest movie pitches ever, for certain values of “finest” meaning “most horribly terriblest”, and yes “terriblest” is so a word shut up. We’re planning on a secret guest, and rumor has it we may be pitching a movie based on Welcome to Night Vale<\/a>.<\/p>\n You Can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t Get There From Here<\/b>. Sunday, 2:30 PM, Hilton 309-310. I managed to schedule myself for three nearly back-to-back events on Sunday, so it should be fun seeing just how fried I am by this panel. But it’s going to be fun — I’m going to turn everyone into rocket scientists in 55 minutes with only three equations and one graph.<\/p>\n Phew, that seems like enough for one convention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s that time of year again, when I go to Dragon Con and talk science and space and so on and so forth.

\nJump in that rocketship and fly directly wherever you want… never mind about orbital trajectories, velocities, and gravity wells.<\/p>\n
