xkdc ftw

It’s been a long time since I checked xkdc. Half an hour of endorphin later, I am ready to pronounce xkdc the number one comic of my adult existence.

Relevant to my current courses, my past courses, my experience of my town, my experience of my current coarse load and zeppelins, other zeppelins, it generates perspective, reminds me of the the person I wanted to be in highschool (what was wrong with that guy?), and is just generally, you know, funny. All this in black and white line drawing, except sometimes in shaded colour. It also uniquely satisfies my odd, semi-geek craving for geek humour. Oh yeah, plenty of that.

(Orson Scott Card however can bite me.)

Yes! It reminded of the exhilaration I felt when I finally mastered Perl and regular expressions (http://xkcd.com/208/) and provided proof that not all males are oblivious to the often blatantly anti-female environment in computer science (http://xkcd.com/322/).

I actually thought about the perl comic when you knocked together that lat/long parser in class. I didn’t know you were a fellow xkcd fan or I would have said something at the time. I probably should have guessed (you did knock together a lat/long parser in perl script when the need arose).
