Monday... what a shit day really. Weekend was rough, and today I'm just tired. I doubt I'll do any actual work here today, seeing as there hardly is any for me to do. So naturally, I'll grab at anything remotely interesting to do for the next 8 hours. Or... 7 hours by the time of writing. Dull prospects for a dull monday. It even looks like it's gonna rain.
So what is a man to do? Well there is a number of sites and things I read on a daily basis. Like the imdb frontpage, along with the 16-20 news stories from the industry. Most of it is mindless drivel like who's been divorced, or who's suing who etc. etc. but once in a while there's something interesting. I do the quiz and take the poll. Then there's my rss ticker. A plugin in firefox that lets me subscribe to rss feeds and have them scroll at the bottom of my browser. It's a really good way of staying up to date with sites you don't necessarily visit daily.
One of these sites is xkcd.com - a web comic strip. I forget when I stumbled upon this first, but I'm following it adamantly afterwards. It's one of my favorite webcomics. It paints a picture of geeks that isn't stereotypical, and thus true to life. It's tagline is "a webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language", and that hits the spot well. Apparently it's made by a former roboticist from NASA, a guy who's now doing this comic thing fulltime. I've much admiration for this dude. Check his comic out. It's a fun read.
