Joy of Tech: The Last Macworld Post (We Promise)

While we usually feature our cartoon dudette and dude–Nitrozac and Snaggy–from Geek Culture’s Joy of Tech in Voices now, there was one leftover comic about Apple’s Macworld that deserves special attention.

That’s right: The Macworld Expo Survival Kit (gas mask optional!).

The Joy of Tech and Suckerbucks, I Mean, Zuckerbucks!

We love those clever cartoon dudes–Nitrozac and Snaggy–over at Geek Culture’s Joy of Tech, so much that we hope to showcase them more on the AllThingsD site in the future.

To kick it off, what better way than to show yesterday’s most excellent explanation of why social-networking pretty lady Facebook is worth those 15 billion samoleans, a la J. Wellington Wimpy (”You know how many hamburgers that is?”).

More Mossberg Fan Club News

We were kidding last week in our post about our longtime opinion that News Corp. owner Rupert Murdoch should set WSJ.com free from behind its paid wall that one way to make money was to create a number of premium services, including perhaps starting with a Walt Mossberg fan club.
