Kate, Mark, and other cool geeky people concur that xkcd is worth a look.

In the spring of 2005, I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a degree in International Relations and a general focus in the area of environmental politics. In the fall of 2005, I began reading for an M.Phil in IR at Wadham College, Oxford. Outside school, I am very interested in photography, writing, and the outdoors. I am writing this blog to keep in touch with friends and family around the world, provide a more personal view of graduate student life in Oxford, and pass on some lessons I've learned here.

In a similar vein are my two favourite dinosaur comics:
copyright law
and
compression schemes
I rather like this strip from xkcd.
That is probably because I can still recall the exact intonation of those words in the film.
This one is geeky and touching.
Also funny: perhaps the best political gag ever shown on The Simpsons.
This XKCD strip shows the best reason I have seen so far to shell out $350 for an Amazon Kindle.
If Amazon would guarantee five more years of free wireless Wikipedia access on the Kindle, I would seriously consider picking one up, despite the fact that I have no interest in buying eBooks.

XKCD book is out
By Cory Doctorow on Happy Mutants
The first-ever XKCD book, “xkcd: volume 0” is now officially out and available. Part of the profits go build schools in Laos. XKCD is my favorite geeky webcomic of all time, and Randall Munroe, its creator, is a swell guy. I’m very glad about this indeed.
Animating the XKCD “I Love the Internet” strip
I picked up a copy of xkcd: volume 0 in Toronto this weekend.
In addition to some great (old) comic strips, it seems to include a bunch of new jokes and puzzles rendered in red.
