More XKCD Goodness
Just submitted my final batch of grades for the Fall 08 semester and thought I’d celebrate with a long-overdue trip over to xkcd. What do I find, but this quip about Somerville, Massachusetts:
xkcd #522
He obviously made these up, but SOOOO funny! In a snake-eating-its-tail outcome, see the Google Trends result for “I hate this website”, which spiked (in the US, but in no particular region) because of this comic.
I discovered them in reverse order, but here’s the most recent comic, featuring a great reuse of one of these keywords:
xkcd #526
I think it says something about me that:
1. I think this is funny.
2. This is how I celebrated a professional milestone (my first semester as a “professor”).
3. Blogging about it is how I rounded out the first hour of my 2nd wedding anniversary. (Tina went to bed at 11:00, and yes, I have a gift and card for her, and we have dinner reservations. But still.)
Happy New Year!

Are you sure it’s not internet addiction-driven insomnia?

like most addictions, it’s a vicious cycle.
