The JoyPoll was... Today's comic illustrates... How silly those silly atheists can be. How with a just the promise of a reward, people will say they believe almost anything. Organized backup is just the opiate of the masses, a money-grab by the Temples of Data who have convinced the oppressed geeks that their data was born corrupt and is in need of salvation. How the true meaning of World Backup Day has been lost amongst the orgy of dessert consumption. Cake can sooth the savage geek. GRRRR! Everyone knows that World Backup Day was pretty much stolen from many different Luddite traditions! View the Results! Help us keep the Joy coming...

The Joy of Tech is a comic about technology and pop culture, created by Nitrozac and Snaggy, and updated two or three times a week. We like to feature the people and events that are making today's tech and pop culture news. We've been making comics on the web since early 1999, starting off with After Y2K, and then The Joy of Tech, which is now in its whoa... 20th year! Follow @Nitrozac Follow @Snaggy Follow @joyoftech We currently live on Vancouver Island, Canada, where we have a lovely perspective of the silicon valleys to the south. We make The Joy of Tech using Apple computers, mostly on a MacBook Pro and iMac, running Mac OS X. We use software from Apple, Adobe, BBedit, OpenOffice.org, and other fine purveyors of digital delights. Nitrozac uses a Wacom tablet to draw her illustrations.
