I learned very early on in life that not everyone wants to hear every fact in the world, even if you want to tell them everything you've ever read.

I read comics and I did science, and never really put them together until I accidentally found myself in the middle of one.

Man, Farmville is so huge! Do you realize it's the second-biggest browser-based social-networking-centered farming game in the world?

The thing about the Internet is that you can write something... for a very narrow audience and make a living at it.

One of the things I've learned with doing 'xkcd' is that you sort of give people, 'Here's the thing, and here's the button you can press to get another thing.' Sometimes that can be more easy to digest than, 'Here's a long page of things.'

It's tempting to just write a comic called 'Everyone Mail Randall Munroe Twenty Bucks' - maybe it would work, and I could just close down the 'xkcd' store and sit on a beach and draw pictures and make snarky Reddit posts for the rest of my life.
