Waiting until this evening to write the post left me with no good examples of dumb shit people do on April 1st.
Maybe the ones that infuriated me most in the past were ones that were personal. Joystiq was pointing out all the bogus shit, which was good of them. I really liked the Gmail Custom Time thing. It was clearly fake, but very funny and clever. The Virgle thing didn't resonate with me, so I thought that was lame, and the video of the Google founders felt so awkward.
When I heard that YouTube made all the featured video links on the front page Rick Roll you, I enjoyed that too.
What I always hated was when a friend would try to convince me of some bogus shit, and you'd call them on it, but they'd insist and insist and insist it was true. So then I'm stuck with either playing into this stupid fucking game or basically calling my friend a liar. I like to trust my friends, so that always was an awkward option.
I'm still waiting to get some stupid text message April Fools. I'm sure it will come from a female (or maybe a guy under the age of 20).
The weekend visiting John was good. We had a good time. His new place is really great, I would recommend you all schedule a visit. When I get mine I'll send out the open invite for you to all visit me.
P.S. - We still never planned a mass meet up.
