Toasting the xkcd book
Jennifer 8. Lee (watch her TEDTalk) and our friends from Reddit hosted a reading in New York tonight for one of the geekiest comics on the web: Randall Munroe’s xkcd. It’s a comic that once, we’re proud to say, namechecked TED; now the strip has been compiled into a printed volume. Aside from all the TEDster connections, though, the event is neat because of the beneficiary: Room to Read, a nonprofit that builds libraries and supports education in the developing world. The New York benefit sold out, but if you’re in the Bay Area, you might try for tickets to readings in SF (on Sept. 21, benefitting the EFF) or Silicon Valley (on Sept. 22, benefitting Room to Read) to check out the book — which we can only hope contains xkcd #541.
