Comic Relief
I was looking for a little levity and I came across the popular web comic XKCD which is full of geek related giggles. The comics were so good that I read them all in a single sitting. If you start at the beginning you can watch the author Randall Munroe refine his style as he progresses through more than 300 comic strips.
But before you set out on your comic adventure, I feel it’s only fair to warn you that Mr. Munroe used to work at N.A.S.A developing robots and whatnot so an appreciation for occasional high level math references will prove beneficial.
Here are some of my favorites:
- The math behind rotation explained
- Why I don’t answer every Page Flip question
- A boat is never just a boat
- Guaranteed to work at least once
- Small talk and big ideas
- A joke that only a person who’s written too many color-fading tutorials could love
- Looking for meaning
- Big pictures and small insights
- The quiet and awkward
- I always get the third guy
- Moebius Snopes
- Honesty is not always the best policy
- Loving the beauty of emerging patterns
- A good point
