Comic strips and art:

• SMBC: Where does the time go when you play online games?
• XKCD: Server Attention Span
• The Joy of Tech: The Internet is running out of tubes. (via @brionv)
• Classic Spamusement: They hold a whole lot of it. I had no idea….
• Bizarro on Facebook slacktivism (at Failblog).

Sci-fi and fantasy:

• Keeping Up With the Cardassians. For months, this is what I heard every time someone mentioned the Kardashians. (What can I say? My brain is more attuned to Star Trek than to reality TV.)
• Author Robert J. Sawyer answers pointed questions about Flashforward and the TV adaptation, including what went wrong. I have to agree that it was really hurt by focusing too heavily on the conspiracy arc.

Coolness!

• Discovery spacewalk seen from the ground (Thierry Legault, of course!)
• Majestic Snow Batman towers over Vermont
• Ultra hi-res moon. The full-sized image is 24,000 x 24,000 pixels and half a gigabyte!
• Flash Coffee is a product tie-in just waiting to happen! (That F’ing Monkey). It would fit right in with the Central City Track Team shirt.

Tech stuff:

• Gmail accidentally reset thousands of accounts last month. (They got it back — this is Google after all.) I’ve come to rely heavily on Gmail, but I still keep a local copy of all my email in case something like this happens. (Engadget, via @pobox)
• 6 ways to use public Wi-Fi hot spots safely (C|NET).
• Mobile Content Is Twice as Difficult (Jakob Nielsen’s Alertbox)
• Map of smartphone marketshare by OS & manufacturer [dead link]. It’s a 3-way split between iPhone, Android and Blackberry. iPhone & Blackberry are of course each one manufacturer, while Android is divided mainly among HTC, Samsung and Motorola. (via @androidandme)
