xkcd
i love xkcd. sometimes it feels like he's writing a comic about the childlike fantasies i'm supposed to have outgrown but am too embarrassed to admit even to myself that i haven't. other times it's just so sweet and sooo torn right from the pages of my apparently-not-so-unique life.
he's running a series right now that might as well be called "the cruel tutelage of donald knuth."
whether it's the 8 year old girl hacking the unix mainframe in jurassic park, angelina jolie in hackers, or the dime-a-dozen cyberpunk vixens cruising thru the datasphere wearing a virtural reality glove and a black leather miniskirt -- straight nerd boys have such entertaining fantasies about nerd girls. considering that most engineering departments are still only 10% women, i think we gay boy nerds got the numbers on our sides for once :)
fyi, my husband is so totally the girl from the comic strip :P i'm the luckiest man alive :)
