    I laughed aloud when I read this. So I am just going to leave it here. Happy Friday, all. Credit for the piece goes to Randall Munroe.

    Last Friday my friend tweeted about the new Pew definition of what a Millennial truly is. I began thinking of a joke about how to define the next generation. Alas, the always spot on xkcd of Randall Munroe beat me to it. (Though his is far better than what I could have imagined.) Credit for…

    Happy Friday, everyone. We made it through to week’s end. And you know what that means. It’s time for a drink. Thanks to one of my best mates for sharing this comic from Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal. He shared it with the comment: “I now understand your love of gin.” Credit for the piece goes…

    I am working from home today, which likely means finding a little cafe or sandwich shop for lunch. And that is the only reason I am sharing this post from xkcd. Credit for the piece goes to Randall Munroe.

    I managed to find myself in a handful of airports over the last few weeks. Consequently I brushed up on my airport codes, the three-letter abbreviations you often find on boarding passes and data displays. Well, if only I had seen this particular reference from xkcd.

    On the Friday after the president retweeted support for British extremists, then when told it was inappropriate, told off the British prime minister. On Twitter. But at least we made it to week’s end. So Happy Friday, all. Credit for the piece goes to Jessica Hagy.

    Hmm, interesting week I suppose. But at least it’s Friday. So enjoy this line chart from Indexed that I thought was appropriate given some of this week’s news. Credit for the piece goes to Jessica Hagy.

  • What If Designers Ruled the World? Or At Least the Country

    Happy Friday, all. We made it. So today we enjoy an xkcd post about how graphic designers would change the country if they seized control. Though to be fair, if this graphic designer seized control of the country, he would not be interested in just adjusting state borders. He’d probably work on the margins and…

    I had dinner with an old friend earlier this week and in the course of our conversation we discussed the bans of knives and guns from hospitals. That reminded me of this xkcd comic from last week. Credit for the piece goes to Randall Munroe.
