1st April 2006
I was going to write something about how April Fools day rarely works on the internet but Anil Dash already did:
Hey, there! I’m your friend, so I didn’t want to be the one to tell you. But someone had to: Your April Fool’s Day joke sucks.
Really, it does. April Fool’s works really well if you’re either genuinely funny or if you make something that’s plausible enough to actually trick someone for a while. “Just do something stupid” need not apply. And it’s especially hard to be appropriately clever on the web.
No foolin’.
In other news, we’ve won a Peabody award. Yeah, that’s it. A Peabody award.
