Cool and funny
An exceedingly cool photograph of “urban typography” and a web comic you should be reading.
An ill-humoured man is a prisoner at the mercy of an enemy from whom he can never escape.
I don't do the “link blog” thing very often, but this is just too cool not to acknowledge: urban typography.
And since this is just a link blog thing, if you're not reading xkcd, you're missing out on a real treasure of romance, sarcasm, math, and language. Goto and Lisp Cycles seem to be popular at the moment. In no particular order, Su Doku, Self-Reference, Digital Rights Management, Science, Beliefs, Pointers, and E TO THE PI TIMES I are among my favorites. And, recently, RTFM.

My fave will always be Regular Expressions. Partly because I've never bought the "... now you have two problems" bit.
Now you have two problems?
Referring to Jamie Zawinski's famous saw:
"Some people, when confronted with a problem, think 'I know, I’ll use regular expressions.' Now they have two problems."
from comp.lang.emacs.
Rewritten by me thus:
Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know! I'll use a computer!" Now they have 10,000 problems.
