5:06:03 PM xkcd-dude: I hope you aren't hurt
5:06:13 PM xkcd-dude: but I've added a line to my hosts file
5:06:28 PM xkcd-dude: so reddit resolves to localhost
5:06:36 PM xkcd-dude: where this page is served: http://xkcd.com/no/

According to Ohanian, his personal blog was created "so [he wouldn't] clutter [their] reddit dev blog. [...] This blog used to be a glimpse into web 2.0 startup life, but now that [they]'ve sold out, it's an assortment of design/startup/geek-related things."
