Aw. Great picture of Max! No foolin’!
Must be Maximus’ birthday? Miss you little guy!
Yep, I got down to the “Square Eggs” video (I wasn’t playing them but I was believing every one) before I remembered it was April Fool’s Day. I’m chalking my slow up-take to jet lag 😀
And on jet set news, Barb and I made it home safely to Chicagoland tonight. But we’re dead-tired and trip-wired, so I have to go decompress. Good night y’all!
Yep, you had me with the beer vid…I R soooooo gullible.
Best picture – is of your boy Maximus!
Thanks for that.
I want a complete useless for the weight 42″ tablet. 😆
Oh boy Max was a happy gay!
Google’s Pokemon Challenge sounds like a fun use of augmented reality technology. Someone should really do it!
The Smart Glove will happen one day.
Everything else was pretty lame. Maybe I just don’t get the whole April Fool’s thing.
@Das
As I can see that you didn´t. Could You read the final comments of the day 30, the birthday of batman? Please. 🙁
Thanks for the video roundup! I’ll share late but oh well. :)\
I like this April Fool’s Day prank from 2004: http://money.cnn.com/2004/04/01/technology/google_email/
1GB per person just for E-Mail? Hahahaha! Pull the other one!
@JeffW – Are you going to the last Stargate convention in Chicago in August?
Happy April Fool’s Day! Miss you, Max!
Awwww Maximus.. what a good boy. He’s dearly missed.
I’m so glad square chicken eggs aren’t real. Holy cow! The poor chickens who would lay those eggs. Ugh
I posted a pic of a gorilla-bird on a site saying it was squawking loudly and had woken me up. It has the head of a gorilla and body of a crow. Someone actually believed it was real. o.O So that happened yesterday.
Hope everyone made through April fool’s day unfooled.
~Maximus was such a smiler and a cutie. {{{hugs }}}.miss his posts..
We had the usual “Burning Man is cancelled” faux news, plus a new spin on fire spinning, solar powered poi.
Every year I dread April 1st….
Love the picture of Max!!!!!
@Das:
Happy Anniversary! The Flintstones is probably the best send up! 🙂
@arcticgoddess:
The whole family is going and we’re already signed up. But I’m still trying to decide if I’m going to do something for the centerpiece contest or not…I have a pretty busy year ahead with the Corvette restoration, increased business travel, a conference paper due in September, weeks of travel to Savannah, Tampa, and stops in between. Whew! I’m getting over-whelmed just typing it!
Still, I’m looking forward to that weekend as a nice break before the busyness of the last half of the year sets in.
@sylvia and Sparrow_hawk on Joe’s Japadog visit:
If we get Joe and Akemi to Chicago at some point, I think we should introduce them to a real Chicago-dog joint. Any nominations come to mind? I was thinking Portillo’s as a start:

Thanks for sharing these! Gotta get me one of the cool sLablets. Sweet picture of Maximus.
Or maybe having Petunia around has made you do a few double takes…
@last Stargate convention
I don’t like that naming. I’m certain it won’t be the last ever Stargate convention, especially if the series comes back at some point in the future. Perhaps I’m being a bit literal but still.
<> Hugs buddy. We all miss you but I’m sure dad has a ton of stories he still has not told us about you. Happy Birthday! Hope heaven has an endless bowl of all your favorite treats.
