He's cool and such, but he hates flash photography! He was definately a grumbler when I went up to get a book signed!
Well, he was keynote speaker at a conference for the South Carolina Science Teacher's Association. And me and my Dad tagged along with my mother, some of the science teachers walked out on his thing however, because he was quite against what a lot of them believed in teaching. He's pro-macro-evolution, and many of the teachers in SC only teach micro-evolution alongside creationism. (usually) -- (macro-evolution is the teaching "we come from apes", and micro-evolution is like how the bird's beaks over change of time adapted to what they needed in their enviroment) -- And there was some other stuff that they walked out on, I'd have to ask my mother more about it, cause I was more or less "It's Bill Nye!!! YAY!!!" kinda got blindsided about what he was talking about, because as this was mainly for adult teachers, he didn't act like he did on the TV show. XD
I'm smart....but not that smart. XD Either way, I waited an hour and a half to get to him, I had two books, and two cameras. He signed both of the books, and with a grudgeance he allowed me to take two pictures. He dosn't like flash photography, and I told the lady (who was taking the pictures) that she dosn't have to do the flash for both of them at all. So he didn't mind it so much.
Sorry for the long drawn out thing. Just figured I'd throw my two dollars in there!
