new xkcd and abstruse goose
Nov 25, 2009
For some reason, both xkcd and Abstruse Goose comics today were very entertaining to me!! Yay!

Sep 17, 2009
That's right folks, the first ever XKCD book is now officially out and available. It's available in the xkcd store for a price of $18.
The author, Randall Munroe, says...

It was neat to go back through various huge stacks of old drawings, some on the back of school assignments, and scan them at print resolution. I also had fun with the marginal notes. I'm really excited to finally have it in print, and I'm looking forward to seeing people and signing copies at the release events this weekend. I'm also excited about getting back to work on some other projects which have been on hold for a bit, at least one of which will involve lakes and a recently-acquired Arduino."
Top 10 list of geeky math comics / webcomics
Aug 31, 2009
I'm a math geek, so I enjoy reading the occasional comic strip that's math related. Here is my list of the top 10 webcomics/comics that I read on a regular basis:
1. Foxtrot - Surely, everyone knows this one. It occasionally has a lot of math humor but is currently on a Sunday only publication schedule.
2. xkcd - Updated every Mon, Wed, Fri, and a very popular webcomic online.
3. Abstruse Goose - Funny webcomic updated regularly, but often physics related as well.
4. Spiked Math - New daily webcomic in color (this should be on the top of the list since I created it ;-))

5. (x, why?) - A funny webcomic, and has over 350 comics published to date.
6. Brown Sharpie - Updated every Mon, Wed, Fri, and can be quite humorous.
7. Brightly Wound - Often contains physics and astronomy as well.
8. twisted pencil - Usually updated Tue/Thu and contains lots of puppets.
9. mathTICS - Usually has some pretty funny strips. Not sure if the author is as active right now and the archive only has the first 100 strips.
10. Indexed - Interesting concept. Mostly consists of venn diagrams and graphs.
