Dag, the notes for each Babbage and Lovelace comic are as funny as the comic. Not so much in the witty/funny way, as the "holy shit that visual joke was based on a real thing."

For example:

Did Charles Babbage actually design an error pop-up for the Analytical Engine that said ‘WRONG’? Come on I couldn’t make up something that funny in a MILLION YEARS!

As well as:

-The punchline to the cheese story is, in fact, a chart.

Both of which link to the source material.

Oh, snap. Gawker calls out the top ten people who need to come out of the closet: [link]

How the hell is Elton in the closet?

It's the other guy in that picture. Did you not read the words??

Did you not read the words??

Apparently not. Who the hell is Chance Crawford?

I wanna say Gossip Girl?

Don't you read the words, Jesse? That's what they say.

I, for some reason, don't need Anderson Cooper to say he's gay.

I didn't click back to confirm, because I don't really care who he is.

Richard Simmons isn't out? Because I have no gaydar and am notoriously bad at this game. And yet? Hello?

Went out and was social with writer friends today (even taking the visiting one to Third Place Books where they LURVE her and they treated her like a total rock star!)

Now I'm home and in inside pants, since it's an inside pants sort of day, all rainy and cloudy and delicious.

Hec, I feel your pain on the project, although honestly, you're much nicer than I would be. If it was up to Nate, I'd help him with everything and not in the "I want you to help so I can learn," but more in the "please help/do this for me" sort of way. So I have to hold firm and let him take his lumps.

The upside is, it seems to be sinking in and he's actually starting to turn work in that's of a much higher caliber overall. *crosses fingers that it sticks*
