—Randall Munroe, "a clip from roficon - starring xkcd!"

According to Ohanian, his personal blog was created "so [he wouldn't] clutter [their] reddit dev blog. [...] This blog used to be a glimpse into web 2.0 startup life, but now that [they]'ve sold out, it's an assortment of design/startup/geek-related things."
