The Internet and April Fools Day
Posted on | April 7, 2005 |
The relationship between the Internet and April Fools Day is such that I couldn’t believe anything I read on the Internet Friday. It’s funny at first, but once I have to read every single thing with my bull$@!# radar on, it gets old (*ahem* Slashdot). I did document a few I found amusing.
I found the Gmail storage expansion graph the most humorous. And, really how can you compete with a service that will offer infinity + 1 email storage?
It took me nearly a day of PHP.net use to realize why I thought something seemed different. Conclusion above.
Everyday could be a prank day at Woot, however, for April Fools Day they brought out the moving buy button. Not only did one get to chase it around the screen, it resized the browser window. Of course, I only came across the gag after it was the “Sold Out” button. Apparently, enough people still figured out how to buy the item of the day.

Nicole, what is that skin you’re using on Firefox?

Noia eXtreme
It looks like it hasn’t been upgraded to work with 1.0.2, but as I haven’t updated FireFox yet, I’m still running it on 1.0.1.

Hello everyone, Happy April Fool’s Day!!
My dentist told me he had good news and bad news.
I said, “Give me the bad news first. Maybe the good news will cheer me up.”
“Well, you need a root canal,” he started, “and complete lower bridgework. It’s going to cost about $3,000.”
“Ouch!” I exclaimed. “What’s the good news?”
“The good news,” he beamed, “is that I shot a hole-in-one yesterday.”
Happy April Fool’s Day!
