[Adding an xkcd cartoon to my last post made me remember that I had this leftover post that I never published.]
I’m ruthless in pruning my work email down to the essentials. In particular, I auto-archive emails about different speakers at Google. So many neat/fun speakers are always visiting Google that if I started going to all those cool lectures, I’d never get my regular work done.
I’m at peace with that choice, but it does mean that sometimes I find out about awesome speakers at Google by reading about them on an outside blog.
I missed Randall Munroe, the guy that draws xkcd, which is a bummer. It’s one of my favorite net comics. Here’s my favorite xkcd. My second-favorite is this map of the internet, because some real internet cartographers used the idea and made a real map of the internet with the same basic design.
If you like xkcd, Ellen has a great post about Randall Monroe’s visit to Google.
