It might be late in the day, but Wednesday is not over until we post our Webseries of the week!
Today we are officially highlighting a webseries we have linked to before. The webcomic xkcd is published regularly, if not quite daily, and features geeky stick figures as they deal with love, relationships, math, science, and other assorted geekery. It’s often clever, though occasionally too geeky for its own good. Here’s the most recent comic:
Enjoy!

Since the Infomavens cannot escape all things geeky (and by “cannot escape” I mean “embrace”), I had to share these beautiful holiday cards from the Hubble web site. The best part about these delightful cards? They’re free to download and print!

I often find myself linking to, or Retweeting, articles on the Wired Magazine’s GeekDad Blog. They just find some of the coolest stuff out there on the web, movies, tv and popculture. This morning’s post is no exception – it’s a plug for a new show, Sci-Fi Science: Physics of the Impossible on the Science channel.

As if the very concept of the show wasn’t already enough to make me tune in, GeekDad added this enticement:
They’re going to make lightsabers that actually work.
The show premieres tonight at 10pm EST, on the Science Channel. Check your local listings.

Recently we posted about why people make lists. Since then, lists seem to be popping up everywhere. And now, especially with Thanksgiving around the corner, people are making lists of things for which they are thankful.
I, personally, am thankful for the lists. Here are a couple I came across this morning, that I thought were worth sharing.

I expect there will be more as we get closer to Thanksgiving, and Year-End Reviews, so check back for more in the weeks to come. If you have a list you’d like to see us highlight, let us know in the comments!
