I am somehow not surprised to find that you enjoy that series.

Similarly, I suspect that you are not surprised to find that I am deeply enjoying The Diamond Age. I am only halfway through thus far, but I deeply loved "Dinosaur's Tale". (It was quite difficult for me to not call you last night, but awakening you at 1:00AM to simply state "glee" seemed like a bad idea. :)

Had I thought about it I would have surely realized it wasn't possible for you not to be a fan of xkcd....

EPOCH fail was one of my favorites!

I seem to recall reading Diamond Age. Good book.

Funny why it is so appealing.

I agree that it is interesting, and I'm curious to find out what happens. But ultimately, it is about two people who have been hurt, and are reluctant to be hurt again, yet still need to be connected. Maybe it is good that they start out by acknowledging that they have been hurt and don't want to be close to anyone. (This way, nobody is surprised when mines go off.)

It is so interesting, I think, because most people can identify with either character--wanting to push people away so as to avoid being hurt, but still wanting to be connected to people.

Sweet! Thanks for pulling those 5 together. I'd read them individually as they came out, but sparsed out enough to not really connect the story together. I love that cartoon.
