I was reading the Surfin’ Safari blog, and they linked to xkcd, which had such an interesting name, and was located under “Shameless Nerdery”, that I had to click on it. It turned out to be a (sort of) webcomic, but it’s great! I’ve already laughed incredibly hard. Be sure to scope the about page and read the last question, it is painfully true, and I almost died when I read it. Here’s another one: Valentine: Karnaugh. You will not understand it unless you’ve had some sort of design class involving digital circuits. Quickly: there are these things called Karnaugh maps which are used to simplify circuits, because it turns out to be much easier to build a complex circuit and then simplify it than it is to build a simple circuit in the first place (which should be blindingly obvious to anyone who has ever built anything, ever).

You should listen to: Andy Hunter. The entire album Exodus is very good. I just bought it on iTunes with my dear friend Indorphin’s birthday gift.

So I was reading some of those comics. And they were kinda funny, because I didn’t understand them, but I knew that you would, and so it was amusing. And then I got to the one about “that’s what she said.” And I got a little sad. Because I KNOW those people. And then I kept reading, and it got funny again. So it’s okay now.

Whatever you did/didn’t do to Cox angered them – they cut your internet.
