xkcd: The Race (sort of featuring the Fillion, the Glau, and the Staite)

The brilliance of xkcd (http://xkcd.com) cannot be understated, but sometimes creator Randall Munroe not only reaches the mountaintop, but leaps above, avoids a pack (a gaggle?) of Reavers, and lands on a Browncoat’s fannish heart like a ballerina wearing combat boots. As when, for instance, he tributes Firefly.

So, without further ado, I invite you to enjoy the w00t-tasticness of a special 5-part series you may have missed titled: “The Race”.

Shiny, or what?

And that’s just a taste of xkcd. You need to make this usually 3-times-a-week commentary of squee-licious geek/nerdiness a constant part of your diet. Seriously.

(For those wondering, the strips were released via Creative Commons with a few caveats. I’m pretty sure I’m OK. I think. That’s another reason you should hie thee to xkcd — to smooth things over, just in case. Don’t make me have Summer get an actual bag of meerkats to sic on ya.)
