xkcd @ Google

Randall Munroe (only the creator of one of the best comic strips in the world) gave a talk at Google today. Among the highlights:

• Guido van Rossum asking him "Do you expect me to fly?" (you'll need to have seen this.)
• Randall only discovering that the guy who asked that question was Guido after the talk was done.
  
• Donald Knuth (yes, that Donald Knuth) asking him "What's the name of my O(log log n) search algorithm?"
• Randall sketching (on a sheet covering a projector) an impromptu Google logo created out of his xkcd stick-figures.
