1. You may recall that I'm an ambassador for the young people's sexual health charity Brook. Some Brook employees are running the London 10K race next weekend (I am not able to join them, sadly, due to my injured shoulder) to raise funds for the charity. If you'd like to help support all their hard work, you can donate here. Please give generously: we need people like Brook.

2. I'm proud to announce that alongside some very distinguished writers – Richard Dawkins, Charlie Brooker, Ben Goldacre, Richard Herring and many others – a contribution of mine has been included in the upcoming book, "The Atheist's Guide to Christmas". The book is edited by the wonderful Ariane Sherine – founder of the Atheist Bus Campaign – and you can pre-order it now. All proceeds go to a wonderful cause: the HIV charity, The Terrence Higgins Trust. Buy it now, in time for Christmas!

3. Speaking of Ben Goldacre, I will be chairing his "Beyond Bad Science" and Bill Thompson's "10 cultures" sessions at Open Tech this coming Saturday, as well as moderating Suw Charman-Anderson's "Women in Tech" session. They – and all the other talks – are going to be great sessions with some fantastic debates: come along and join in!
