comics.scottk.net - Trigonometry

In my experience trigonometry was one of the most useful branches of mathematics. Tangent has always bothered my nerd brain since it spikes to infinity because of division of zero.

Infinity Algorithm

Rather than make an algorithm with an infinite loop as a nod to infinity this comic uses a class and function so the code line spells out “infinity” and the output is “infinity” as well.
Letter of Inheritance

Having played multiple characters in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim one of the mechanics I dislike the most is the Courier. There are multiple things he can deliver but the most common is the Letter of Inheritance. Unfortunately, most of the time the only reason the NPC died was that you were near by and triggered something hostile, like bandits or dragons.
Web Development Pitfalls

Web development like most development/programming projects have pitfalls that other projects do not have to deal with. People can have an idea of what goes into building a house but since the development/programmer population is small compared to the overall population there is not as much understanding.
Nerd Tiles

This comic for the web developers/programmers generates the tiles that spell out four different nerd names: nerd, geek, dork, and dweeb. This could have been made simpler with just HTML and CSS but where is the fun in that. So it also includes JavaScript.
Ecodeji - Fibonacci sequence

This is a silly algorithm using JavaScript to make EMOJI character icons function as JavaScript keywords. It isn't a practical way of doing it but it is short enough to print on merchandise for fellow members of the nerd, developer/programmer, and IT communities.
Vetruvius [Stick] Man

A nerdy graphic showing a stick man version of Leonardo Da Vinci's famous drawing Vetruvius Man. It also shows the code that generated it.
VECTOR

A nerdy graphic that shows vector text spelling “VECTOR” and the SVG markup that generates it.
The Important Elements

A comic for coffee lovers shows the most important elements on the periodic table and the molecular structure of the caffeine molecule.
American Pride

A nerdy web developer/programmer comic showing the HTML/JS/CSS to generate an American flag.
Do You Binary?

A nerdy developer/programmer greeting. It shows the binary ASCII representation of "Do you binary?"
