RBA (XKCD)

Monday, August 18th, 2008

Today’s XKCD comic was brilliant as usual, and required one to know of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air in order to grasp its meaning.

Alt: This is a story all about how I started drinking.
Examples of Bel-air vs Reverse Bel-air:
Bel-air:
I ate some pretty bad food at this really dingy diner last night and I think [...]

Voting Machines (XKCD)

Friday, August 15th, 2008

Yesterday’s XKCD comic was fantastic as always - depicting a very good analogy!

Alt Text: And that’s *another* crypto conference I’ve been kicked out of.  C’mon, it’s a great analogy!
Obligatory advert:

This comic reminds me of South Park - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proper_Condom_Use. The teachers should have been replaced by Chef in this episode. WLOL. (Rip Isaac Hayes, BTW.)
A Freemanic [...]

Freemanic Paracusia (XKCD)

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

Wow! Today’s XKCD comic is kinda weird.

Img Title: It’s amazing what it does for YouTube comments.
Quoting from The Neurological Side of Neuropsychology:
The term paracusia refers to an alteration of volume, timbre, or some other distortion of sound. This may be both unpleasant and persistent. Unlike tinnitus and other auditory perceptions caused by end-organ disease, paracusiae [...]

Google Maps (XKCD)

Monday, August 11th, 2008

Today’s XKCD comic is truly funny and the situation depicted can occur in real life.

Alt text: Apparently Google assumes you’re traveling during the ferry’s normal operating hours.  We lost two hours circling that damn lake (to say nothing of the Straw Man).
It reminds me of an episode of Doctor Who - The Sontaran Stratagem. Nav-sats [...]

Paleontology (XKCD)

Friday, August 8th, 2008

Holy Cupcake! It’s been 15 years?!!! *gasp* My human vessel is getting old.

Alt-text: Dinosaurs totally jumped the ichthyosaur when they got rid of Brontosaurus.
I’ve never watched Jussaric Park 3. The first one was the best IMHO even though it had inconsistencies.
Do you recall the Jurassic Park movies? Did they make you show more interest in [...]

Regrets (XKCD)

Monday, August 4th, 2008

I’m typing a short entry because I’m totally drunk right now. The cough medicine I’ve had several intakes of, has enough alcohol to knock down a mad woman/man (….or an alien.)
Today’s XKCD comic reminds me of someone with whom I had shared an orange juice. @ someone(you know it’s you I’m referring to) -> If [...]

Frustration (XKCD Comic)

Friday, August 1st, 2008

Alt text: ‘Don’t worry, I can do it in under a minute.’ ‘Yes, I’ve noticed.’
Like always, today’s XKCD comic is brilliant! It’s a chastity bra for cute geeky girls who can unlock it in less than a minute.
Say, a geeky male lover wants to unlock the bra for some unknown and weird reason (like saving [...]

Cautionary (XKCD)

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

Today’s XKCD comic is so cool.

Alt. Text: This really is a true story, and she doesn’t know I put it in my comic because her wifi hasn’t worked for weeks.
URL: http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/cautionary.png
Fantastic and so true! And he teaches the newbie all the man pages without focusing on the xorg. She’s lucky to have such a cousin. [...]

Things Fall Apart

Monday, July 14th, 2008

Good morning people
Gosh, I love this new XKCD comic. Indeed - ‘I’m nothing without you’ is a fucked-up sentiment.
It is obvious tha the girl doesn’t want him, but he hasn’t realised that yet. The next thing she’ll probably say is “I don’t know what to do anymore. Things don’t work.” He’ll cling on [...]
