Wishing @Twitter would add support for showing XKCD comics inline on twitter.com

I agree that it would be nice to have each XKCD comic load inline. Until it is supported, I thought I would bang out a Kynetx app to do it. Only took me an hour while helping my wife get ready for work and out the door so I feel pretty good about it. There are a few things I could add to it but it works and it’s simple. You can use the app as a Google Chrome extension or a Firefox Extension.

My wife is a big fan of the work done over at Avalanche Software. She showed me their art blog that they do for fun the other day and I thought that this illustration was awesome enough to put on my desktop for at least a week or two. Maybe it will even remind me to work harder. More than anything it makes me smile and laugh. So here it is
