			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just a quick note of congrats to Mr. Seguin on securing a job with Engine Yard.  I read about it on <a href="http://www.engineyard.com/blog/2010/welcome-back-wayne/">the blog</a> this evening while desparately catching up on my RSS feeds from the Christmas Holidays.  Wayne&#8217;s a great guy (from my few IRC and podcast encounters with him) and based on the guys I do know working at Engine Yard already, he&#8217;s going to have a great time.  </p>
<p>You can read <a href="http://www.engineyard.com/blog/2010/honey-im-home/">his first post</a> all about Ruby on Rails in the Windows environment&#8230;. an effort that (as someone who runs all three of the major OSs) would be well appreciated <img src='http://thinkinginrails.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Congrats Wayne!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://thinkinginrails.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/i_write_code-4717.gif"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-357" title="I Had This T-Shirt" src="http://thinkinginrails.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/i_write_code-4717.gif" alt="Programmer Funny Comic T-Shirt" width="325" height="271" /></a>OK, just another silly diversion, and a bit of a silly list.  <a href="http://avit.ca/">Andrew</a> mentioned <a href="http://abstrusegoose.com">Abstruse Goose</a> to me in the <a href="http://webchat.freenode.net/#fv.rb">#fv.rb</a> channel, I responded with <a href="http://notinventedhe.re">Not Invented Here</a>, and well, I figured it&#8217;d be good to put a few down.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://xkcd.com">XKCD</a> &#8211; A given, should not even be mentioned.  I insult you by even thinking that you <em>wouldn&#8217;t</em> already be subscribed.  I&#8217;d also be insulting you if I implied that you shouldn&#8217;t forget that there are also forums and other community goodies that are just as good as the comic.</li>
<li><a href="http://notinventedhe.re">Not Invented Here</a> &#8211; Great cartoon about a programming shop, with a lot of &#8220;does he spy on me&#8221; moments lately.  <a href="http://notinventedhe.re/on/2010-4-26">Case in point</a>.  Best of all it&#8217;s not that old so you can go and catch up fairly easily.</li>
<li><a href="http://dilbert.com">Dilbert</a>.  An old staple of the pain that programmers working in the big tall buildings in the big companies feel.  I fell out of love with Dilbert a while back, but something pulled me back in with a few cases where I&#8217;m pretty sure Scott Adams is working in my company.  Here&#8217;s a <a href="http://dilbert.com/2010-04-19/">prime example</a>.</li>
<li>I just found <a href="http://abstrusegoose.com">Abstruse Goose</a> through this great <a href="http://abstrusegoose.com/262">R2D2 Hacking The Death Star</a> post.  Hooked and subscribed.</li>
<li>Not exactly a comic, but the <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/84556/whats-your-favorite-programmer-cartoon">What Is Your Favorite Programmer Comic</a> on StackOverflow has some awesome gems as well as some that aren&#8217;t part of any series.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.geekculture.com/joyoftech/">Joy Of Tech</a> is an Apple oriented cartoon you&#8217;re sure to enjoy.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.virtualshackles.com">Virtual Shackles</a> is fairly new to me as well, but beautifully drawn, and funny as hell.</li>
<li><a href="http://geekandpoke.typepad.com/geekandpoke/">Geek and Poke</a> is a look at the modern socialnetworkconnectedtwittering world.</li>
<li>Another not-programmer specific one, but you have to love <a href="http://theoatmeal.com/">The Oatmeal</a>.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.jeffzugale.com/justabitoff/">Just a Bit Off</a>.  What more can you say about a comic that has a comic like <a href="http://www.jeffzugale.com/justabitoff/archive_page.php?comicID=217">this one</a>. Oh my&#8230;.</li>
<li><a href="http://userfriendly.org">Userfriendly</a> is a site and community I&#8217;ve been <a href="http://ufies.org">involved with</a> for a long time, and even though Illiad is in a &#8220;rerun&#8221; stage, this is a classic strip that deservies your attention.</li>
<li>Generally speaking, programmers have completed some form of post-secondary education, meaning that <a href="http://www.phdcomics.com/comics.php">PHD Comics</a> will have some relatable situations.</li>
<li><strong>New: </strong>Out of print, but great to browse the archives is <a href="http://hackles.org">Hackles</a>.</li>
<li><strong>New:</strong> I can&#8217;t believe I missed <a href="http://www.gpf-comics.com/">General Protection Fault</a>!</li>
<li><strong>New:</strong> Designer oriented, still looks good: <a href="http://bradcolbow.com/">The Brads</a> &#8211; example <a href="http://www.bradcolbow.com/archive.php/?p=227">flash bashing</a> <img src='http://thinkinginrails.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  - <a href="http://twitter.com/andrewvit">@andrewvit</a></li>
<li><strong>New: </strong><a href="http://www.ubersoft.net/">Ubersoft</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Anyone got some suggestions of any that I&#8217;ve missed?</p>
<p><strong>Updated:</strong> Thanks for the suggestions, I&#8217;ve added those to the list!</p>
