Randall Munroe, the fellow from XKCD, is to be revered by future generations, I think. He's a good mind and has a good impact on-line, indeed. I've not read a periodical so enlightening before. He also keeps a good blag. His recent laser elevator post is a good example. Also, consider his side projects, like TheFairest.info, and LimerickDB. I hope I can contribute half as much as he does someday. Ha, I'm even his elder!
I do like the highest rated limerick of to-day:
There once was a buggy AI Who decided her subject should die. When the plot was uncovered, The subjected discovered That sadly the cake was a lie.
I'll clarify that I don't feel competitive. That would be painfully ridiculous. But the effect he has pleases me so dearly.
I wanna say something snarky about the dude, but I just can't.
ReplyDeleteI hope his melancholy hopeplayfulness is infectious.
When did you discover him again?
