New Website for Eastern Division of APA

I’ve put together a website for the Eastern Division, and social media accounts on Twitter and Facebook. Here are the relevant links.

http://www.apa-eastern.org
https://www.facebook.com/apaeastern
https://twitter.com/apaeastern

The website should be pretty useful as it stands. I hope it makes it clear how people can get involved with the “Get Involved” menu option, and most of the options includes online forms that people can fill out.

I hope to add a lot more functionality to the website so that it is an even more useful tool for APA members, but for now – I think this is a good start.

Two New Versions of Skeptical Theism (Draft)

I’ve recently completed a draft of a paper callled “Two New Versions of Skeptical Theism” for an edited volume. This will definitely be going through a round of revisions, and so I’m posting a copy here in case anyone is interested in reading it and giving me comments or feedback. If you have anything, I’dContinue Reading

Gettier Case in Revenge

Amanda was wrong by the Graysons. She switched identity with someone named Emily, so she could come back and plot revenge against the wealthy Graysons. Amanda now goes by the name Emily, and she has become independently wealthy.

Server Move Is Almost Complete

The migration of my website to the new server is basically finished. But it will take about 48 hours for all of the Internet service providers to get the memo to point my domain to the new server IP address. So, some of you will see the old site and some of you will seeContinue Reading

Website Makeover!

You’ll notice that the website looks different. I’m using software that makes it easier to build my own custom WordPress sites, and I’m trying to do something super minimalistic. This is what I’ve got so far, but I’ll be playing around with it over the next several months. But the site has undergone a majorContinue Reading

Neil “Logic” Feit

My department chair is now an internet meme, and it’s awesome.

Then I got kind of addicted to making them. Here areContinue Reading
