xkcd – Hoverboard
You can’t help but love xkcd. Most of the time, the author Randall Munroe draws single, one-off images. Occasionally, he goes all out and creates truly wonderful comics. A few previous examples include Time, Pixels, and Click and Drag. This … Continue reading

Pixels
I’m a huge fan of xkcd. The most recent comic, entitled “Pixels“, is one of those that you can spend a long time getting lost in. Similar in scope to “Click and Drag” and “Time“, “Pixels” invites you to scroll … Continue reading

Guardians Of The Galaxy Trailer 2
New trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy! It’s all very exciting, isn’t it? I really love the music in the trailers! A thief, two thugs, an assassin, and a maniac. What could possibly go wrong? Onwards!
Free Speech
Free speech is important. Vital, even. However, some people don’t quite understand what free speech actually is. The above comic, from the ever brilliant xkcd, explains clearly what the right to free speech is. Read it, understand it, learn it. … Continue reading

Making Things For The Web – The Oatmeal
The Oatmeal has created a wonderful comic entitled “Some thoughts and musings about making things for the web“. It’s rather long, NSFW, and utterly brilliant. Above is just the first panel of it, and I highly recommend you head over … Continue reading
