\"\"<\/a>Well, You should too.<\/p>\n

If you are a programmer, nerd, computer geek, math wizard, or even an internet hipster(those people that laugh at LOLcats. I think.) You need to be reading XKCD.<\/p>\n

What is XKCD? well its a little known(sarcasm) web-comic started by a CNU graduate with a degree in physics who started scanning his old math\/sketching graph paper from school so he would not lose the work. Who said goofing off in class would return no results?? Suckers! that site receives a TON of traffic now, they also sell t-shirts, which are hilarious and hard to resist(And I dont even like t-shirts! jk, just not ‘humor’ ones).<\/p>\n

Either Way, I am very thankful it was started. It has provided many days of laughter at the expense of me and my co-workers. When you are having a long day of programming, a quick shot over to xkcd.com<\/a> and your day will instantly be brightened.<\/p>\n

It usually updates every couple of days, newest post is always on the home page. Also, they are very short and to the point. Which is great for our attention spans.<\/p>\n

I would love to hear from others that enjoy the comic, or newcomers that are glad I recommended it!<\/p>\n

Let me know! I would love to hear from you! Till next time….spend a few hours reading XKCD!<\/p>\n

And No, this is not a paid post, just a die-hard fan of the comic’s point of view.<\/p>\n

They also have a blog here<\/a> if that’s what floats your boat.<\/p>\n

What does XKCD stand for?<\/h3>\n

It’s not actually an acronym. It’s just a word with no phonetic pronunciation. It stands for the comic and everything the comic stands for!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
