What made me happy today? The new xkcd!
xkcd is most likely the webcomic I've been reading the longest. It started in September 2005 and if memory serves, I started reading xkcd somewhere at the end of 2007. The comic's tagline describes it as "a webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language". Randall Munroe is the brains behind it and I have to say, he is doing a hell of a job. Mind you, this is a comic without an actual storyline, it's just something different each time. Also, xkcd is not an acronym but just four letters.
Over the years, xkcd has become my little oasis of funny geeky moments during the week. I absolutely love xkcd, and it's too bad it only updates on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. And I keep going back for more, because some of the comics are so darn relatable, while others are downright funny.
Lucky for me, about half a year ago, Randall started doing 'xkcd: what if' every Tuesday, in which he answers a reader's hypotetical question with physics.
