GeoCities is shutting down today. To commemorate this, xkcd.com has been redesigned.

@ the site design.

It's interesting how he was able to realistically emulate such a shoddy site design. When you're that competent at something, it's hard to make intentional crap.

I was very impressed with that too, especially the blinking <blink> HTML

I would totally do Randall Munroe.

In a totally non-homo way, just out of respect for the man's awesomeness.

Brilliant.

Off Topic but not worthy of its own thread, I have a copyright question:

As a musical theater composer (read: dork) I am currently writing a song cycle. I want to take the idea behind the choir of angels strip and make that into a song. Is that infringing on any of his rights?

If you don't sell it I don't he will mind.

And

The new site design is amazing. I feel it should stay that way.

@Secludedmayhem: Certain prog metal guitarists have gotten away with making songs out of certain Korean comic books, and certain metal giants have gotten away with songs about certain works by Aldous Huxley, Frank Herbert, Coleridge, Heinlein, and others...

You can't copyright a concept. If you're simply using the idea behind it rather than making a direct adaptation then there should be no issue.

Thanks for the advice. Good to know. Now I can move forward without fearing a law suit. YAY!

If I really wanted to be a huge nerd a nitpick there are some things I would change about the Lord of the Rings section if you were going by the books.

However, since this is going by the movies it is pretty accurate.
