I talked to the team, and they didn't plan to publish an article about a daemon on Good Friday. Sometimes these things just happen....like bad regex summoning a daemon.

Rewatched The Super Mario Bros. Movie and it reminds me a lot of the hit 1994 film, Double Dragon. 2 brothers identified by their monochromatic clothing, on a quest to stop the super powered villain, heroes get invincibility powers at the end. Damn, I should have re-watched Double Dragon instead.

I didn't watch the speech. Did anyone ask him if this is an April Fools joke?

Why do we only worry about Cereal Killers? Why not Bacon and Eggs Killers, or Breakfast Burrito Killers? Cereal can't have cornered the market on murder.

The globalGlob(**/*) will never post April Fools stories. So if you ever see titles like, “FCC Bans U.S. Manufactured Routers”, or “Salesforce Announces What It Does”, or even god forbid something like “Microsoft Trademarks the term 'Microslop'” just know that we’d never stoop so low.

CSS or BS? Think you know CSS? Real property or made-up nonsense? 20 rounds. No mercy.

Rather than the same old boring internet pranks, I thought I'd build something more fun this April Fools.

CSS or BS. Can you tell your CSS properties names from BS?

Someone in the office left their computer unlocked, so I published an article under my name, not globalGlob(**/*) staff. Read my stolen journalist valor.

Opening a window is always a gamble on trash day. Will each gust of wind bring in a nice clean scent, or garbage?

I may or may not have plans to make repos to infect these models with stupid jokes. I will devote way more time than I should. `var firstName = "You're old. Remember to drink water. Dasani 6 pack for $8.99 at Walgreens";`

Explore live radio by rotating the globe Explore live radio by rotating the globe.

Your periodic reminder that there is a website that lets you listen to local radio stations anywhere in the world

This is honestly one of the coolest inventions ever, imo. Global access to hyper-local imagined communities

The response is "Orange"

I've been helping organize a conference and we got some A.I. spam submissions. Glad to know the spam filter email worked.

Are you on your browser? Good. Look at the top-right corner. See a button that says UPDATE? Click it. Click it right now. I promise you won't lose anything. Just click the button right now. It'll take 4 seconds. You spend more time ignoring that button each day.

Don't go grocery shopping hungry. Also don't go when you're telling yourself to eat healthy and we all know that won't last a day. No ice cream in my freezer won't make it past Tuesday.

Normalize asking people you meet what their favorite dinosaur is. Can't remember the last time I was asked. (Stegosaurus, by the way)
