I hate today

Well no, actually I don’t hate April 1, I have a good reason to love April 1, but I hate trying to read RSS feeds or even news stories because you never know what to believe. On top of that, not many people actually do anything remotely funny as an April Fool’s joke anymore. There were a few exceptions, but mostly, they were just lame retreads of the same thing people have been blogging for years on this day, which are just on-line versions of the same things people have been saying for years. Blah.

Oh, yeah, the reason I love April 1? Angela and I went on our first date April 1, 2000. We went to see High Fidelity, with John Cusack, and then went to grab some dinner at the nearby Appleebee’s.

Naturally, we went there for dinner tonight as well, but we didn’t pull out the High Fidelity DVD. 😉

    Staying Away from iOS7 for now

    Unless you’ve been living under a rock, or otherwise disconnected from social networks, you are probably aware that Apple released the latest version of it’s iOS. Of course, it does appear to have some cool features, but as the proud owner of older iDevices, I’m not going to be spending my day getting the update….

  • After work, work..

    Since I was already in the “web programming” mood when I got home, what with the ATOM feed on Angela’s blog, and since the DNS seems to have caught up with the server move on the child abuse site, I went ahead and upgraded the Movable Type installation over there, and added an atom feed…

  • Remember Curation?

    “Who said it? Why do I trust them? Have they been wrong in the past?” Once upon a time, in the blogging world, the idea of curation was an important one. The idea was that while we wanted to be generous with sharing and linking to others, we also wanted to be responsible curators. The…

    Going Back to Delicious

    If you subscribe to the RSS feed here you may have noticed that the daily “links” posts haven’t been happening. There’s actually a reason for that. A while back, when Yahoo announced they were dropping Delicious, I went in search of an alternative. I starting using Diigo to save my links as I was perusing…

    New Orleans

    Sure, we actually went to New Orleans back in October and I am just now getting around to uploading them to Flickr. As a hobbyist photographer, New Orleans is a great place. You can hit the French Quarter take some shots, pick up a good meal, continue out to St. Louis Cemetery, and wind down…

  • Light Bulb Moments

    Today was a very good day. I had two training sessions scheduled, back to back, covering two very different topics. One was supposed to be a class, but turned into one attendee, on working with transcripts in Summation. The second one was a scheduled one-on-one training session on using an RSS reader. In both sessions…

  1. I agree wholeheartedly. I have spent most of the day reminding myself it is April Fools Day. Really impacts the productivity.

    At least it occurred on a weekend, so we won’t have to deal with this during the work week.

  2. I’m glad we didn’t turn out to be a joke or maybe we are but we’re both in on it.

    Love you!!

  3. Congratulations to you both.

    Eeye’s website (a security company) was replaced with a hacked page saying that the site had been compromised and free keys were available for the software. When you clicked the link it pointed you to the real site with the free links.
    Blink looks pretty good although it pops up messages like crazy when you first switch it on.
