Daww, that was nice of him: Randall Monroe's made me the punchline of another XKCD!

Update: Hey, this is from 2008! I missed it then. No matter -- it was funny then, it's funny now.

Starwatching

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    “Great bloggers of the Past…” “Cory Doctorow…” Sounds more like it was a veiled insult to me… :p

      Maybe he is blogging from the past, which might explain why he’s reporting on 2008

       Better be famous and hated than unknown. :-D

    We’re missing the important question here. When the tag clouds parted, what did you say, Cory?

      “iStone”

      Oh the level of irony…

       All the blog posts got strikethroughs maybe ?

    What’s with this “past”  business?  Everyone knows that the blogosphere is a hyperspatial construct that exists at all points in the space-time continuum.  Cory is everywhere and everywhen!

    ‘less’ is ‘more’, non?

    I wonder if all this time he just assumed you didn’t like it since you didn’t at least acknowledge it (like the other xkcds mentioning/starring you which I know you know about)?
