Another Take on ‘Going to 11′

I’m not going to attempt to take credit for starting a resurgence of the Spinal Tap “our amps go to 11” meme, but since I referenced it in Inside the DS8700 Part 2, I’ve seen it in quite a few new places.  Perhaps I’m just sensitized to it now.  The latest place I’ve seen it is on Randall Munroe’s brilliant xkcd webcomic.  (Fair warning, Randall’s sense of humor is a little unusual and some of his comics may be considered by some to be unsafe for work.)

Click to be taken to the punchline

I almost never fail to be amused by Randall’s work, but this one almost caused me to choke on my coffee!  It’s very, VERY, good.  It’s also all too true in the technology industry.  For those of you who aren’t familiar with xkcd, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
