Two year Biopsy-versity via XKCD I’m not going to go into the history here, you can figure it out. I had a few close people go though cancer. Its not fun, but when you beat it, its big. Best wishing XKCD(er). Permanent link to this comic: http://xkcd.com/1141/ Image URL (for hotlinking/embedding): http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/two_years.png… Read More
Swiftkey gets the XKCD bump Forget TechCrunch, Venturebeat, New York Times .. heck, forget HuffPo or slash dot for that matter. When you can get your app talked about on XKCD, well you now you have hit the bigtime. And it sounds pretty cool if the new version can do this. I think I have and older version of swiftkey… Read More
XKCD – tumbler.com replaces band names Normally I would have just read this XKCD comic and thought, yea that’s true and moved on. But something about this made me think, yup here is another sign that the interweb is changing things. I do remember using the expressing ‘ that would make a cool band name’.

Yes if “Mars Needs Moms” is proof of anything, making something 3D does not help make something bad, less bad. What does that have to do with today’s (tomorrows) XKDC comic? Not a damn thing.. Just wanted to say that. Now… Read More

I don’t know much more then anyone else about radiation, but I… Read More
Visual representation of the bounded problem of tic-tac-toe OR someone w/ too much time on their hands – This appeared in XKCD today and I just had to write a little post on it. My first thought was; this is a nice visual representation of how you can solve a bounded problem. A bounded problem is where all the possible solutions can be discovered as in tic-tac-toe. An UN-bounded problem is where… Read More
XKCD goes all terminal on us Ok, this has nothing to do with mobile devices, or NetTablets, or Augmented Reality, – the stuff I normally write about; but what the heck, its April 1st and I’m a huge XKCD fan. Thus, with much love; I share that XKCD changed their home page to work like an old Unix terminal. (Course, those… Read More
