April Fools´ Day, who´s playing pranks?

Tom — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 07:32:20 +0000

Today is April Fools´ Day, the world plays pranks on one another, and bloggers throughout the blogosphere will pretend that today, they are all comedians.

April Fools´ Day or All Fools´ Day, though not a holiday in its own right, is a notable day celebrated in many countries on April 1. The day is marked by the commission of hoaxes and other practical jokes of varying sophistication on friends and neighbors, or sending them on fools´ errands, the aim of which is to embarrass the gullible. In some countries, April Fools’ jokes (also called “April Fools”) are only made before noon on April 1st. It is also widely celebrated on the Internet.

I remember one year my best friend decided it would be entertaining to change my soundsettings on my laptop. And the devil never sleeps, while im at university, booting my Sony, a pirate screamed: “Yes, that is a hornpipe in my pocket and I am happy to see you, Arr!” They all looked up and some were shocked, some amused and the only way I would get my face back was to stand up and Ahoi! them back. All maties who know me better, im the best pirate of the worrrld!

Anyhow, it’s April Fools´ Day. Go out and embarrass your friends and family or share one of your own embarrassing moments.

Julio Diaz has a daily routine. Every night, the social worker ends his hour-long subway commute to the Bronx one stop early, just so he can eat at his favorite diner. But one night last month, as Diaz stepped off the No. 6 train and onto a nearly empty platform, his evening took an unexpected turn. Read the rest….

Bryan Veloso is back and his message is distorted. The design is perfect as usual and the only star i have in my heart is the avalonstar. Good to know you´re back. What a impressive comeback, its mysterious and inspiring and now i know why it took him so long to comeback.

Three Generations Of Mac

Shawn wanted to do a personal, “real-life” benchmarks to see how the three current Macs in his office compare to one another. It helped me alot because i had many open questions. Im going to buy me a brand new powerbook in may and im sure it will kick my shoes off. And Shawn is right, benchmarks and infos are always interesting.

Some Updates

The last weeks were ver hard and intensive. My parents moved, they had to move from a 5 room flat into a smaller one with only 2 rooms. It was a long way to manage this vacation but we made it. The hardest part was to build up/down all furnitures especially the one from the kitchen. My parents arent very happy with the move, but they live alone now and 5 rooms are too big for them, and it was too expensive i think.

So, for now its time to take a shower and relax this evening, the following week will be an andventure again. Bit late with this, but happy easter!
