Out of the Blue [Apr 02, 2004, 11:10 am ET] – 43 Comments
That was a pretty good April Fools' Day yesterday, a lot of good gags, and not
too many stinkers. There was an interesting debate over the possibility that
Google's Gmail announcement was a gag I fell for, but
Google 'Gmail' No Joke, Lunar Jobs Are reasserts the factuality of the
story.
Oddly, I had a series of short brownouts here in the BlueTower yesterday. I don't think this was someone at the power company playing an April Fools, and am coming to the conclusion that I need someone qualified to come in and make sure the house is wired properly.
