There aren't too many ways to "mathematize" Charo's name, which is actually
María Rosario Pilar Martínez Molina Gutiérrez de los Perales Santa Ana Romanguera y de la Hinojosa Rasten,
or so she says.

A Sad Week for New York Yankees Fans

I haven't decided yet whether or not to add this into the "official" comic count on (x, why?) on the CG site.

"Love parallelogram" just didn't have the right ring to it. And if you love it, you have to have a ring on it.
"Love trapezoid" was right out.

There were so many absolutes in the classic cartoons, and the only shades of gray were the penguins and rabbits.

It's been too hot to work on this stuff, so there's a bonus comic today.

Other than "GOL!", I have no clue what they're saying on the Spanish station. But they have much more enthusiasm than the guys on ESPN or ABC. And they seem more intelligent, too.

And if things were really well-timed, this would've been posted a couple of days ago.
Happy Fourth of July!

More on Pythagorean Triples

For those that have read my posts (and related comics) dealing with Pythagorean Triples, the blog Theorem of the Week has an entry about them.

Self-Promotion, the Results

So I self-promoted my "Self-Promotion" comic because I wanted to either be ironic or be whatever it is that people call "ironic" but really isn't but makes English teachers rip their hair out.

I expected downvotes and negative reviews and comments from those that saw the URL and the user id of the poster (both containing "xwhy" in them) without clicking on the link to see that that was part of the joke. The jokes back on me.

The results: 260+ views on Stumbleupon, with no comments and no one listed as liking it; 150 visits from reddit, with 4 up votes and 3 down votes, and no comments; and no one saw it on digg, except me.

On the other hand, David Morgan-Mar posted a link on his Facebook page. Over 700 hits, 11 people liked it, with two comments.

Self-promoting doesn't pay. Especially when you have a small, select audience to begin with. I'm happy to have you.
