April Fool’s Day Round Up
I thought about doing my own April Fool’s post (something about guest bloggers destroying this site, landing a full time job blogging for John Edwards, or quitting blogging to stay in Japan at a Zen monestary) but decided against it since jet lag is the mother of all procrastination aides and has a way of making written sarcasm sound cruel.
Instead, I settled on offering up a collection of my favorite April Fool articles of the day. I’ll continue updating it throughout the day. Have fun:
- Robert Scoble spies an Apple executive using an iReader, a hardware reader for eBooks.
- TechCrunch buys F***ed Company because the end of the boom is near.
- ShoeMoney closed down his own site.
- Gmail now supports paper.
- Jajah buys Vonage.
- John Chow gives up blogging to travel around the world.
- Casey Serin buys a million shares. The comments are the real hilarity (as usual).
- Google announces TiSP: Free WiFi.
- Paris Lemon has a cool April Fool’s roundup.
- Valleywag Hates April Fool’s Day. Makes sense when you consider they pretty much do satire every day.
- This better be April Fools: No Cat Day At Google. Ever.
- Slashdot added a new feature: Slashdotit!: allowing readers to rank stories, Digg style.
- Some seriously nerdy fantasy products at Think Geek.
- Twitter related startup.
If you can’t get enough, check out Wikpedia’s list o’ Foolish Pranks (hat tip Rex Hammock) or this awesomely comprehensive list of all things Fool at urgo.org.
Disclosure: The above reference to “Paris” could be Paris the city, Paris Gellar from Gilmore Girls, ParisLemon the blogger, or Paris Hilton. I have no financial relationship with any of them.

Just turning on my computer today and starting my browser made me feel foolish.
I think I have April Fool’s Day hangover, getting ready for work today.
