April [chat]'s Day

Because posting fake news stories is apparently witty.

April Fools day is internet-christmas.
our favorite websites give us gifts of fake stories and we laugh.

laugh like a cracked out baby

For some reason I feel compelled to get things done today. I want to make progress on projects and accomplish something.

Unfortunately everything I need to do requires that other people do things as well.

And since I will only be here until sometime in early July and they will be here for much longer I have to wait for them to do their inane crap before I can do my inane crap which requires their input.

So I think it's time to read some news sites.

_J_ said...

So G4 covered the Adult Entertainment Expo this year.

And, really? I prefer coverage of a porn convention to reruns of Ninja Warrior.

_J_ said...

Wireless Extension Cords

PC Habicase

Oh, ThinkGeek...

Mike Lewis said...

At least two fake Bizzard announcments:

Here and Here

Unknown said...

wowwiki has some stupid ass crossover with guildwiki. I expected more from them.

_J_ said...

Kotaku posts are all cake related today.

_J_ said...

@Mike

You posted links to two blank pages.

Unknown said...

See if these are better, the wow related ones. Molten Core for the console and a bard class

_J_ said...

I want a bard.

Anonymous said...

i heart my companion cube.

as good as Molten Core and the bard class is - nothing can beat the Deckerd Rap.

mikey (posting from a public computer)

_J_ said...

Did you buy a companion cube?

Mike Lewis said...

they keep selling out before i can get one - also they cost $30.

_J_ said...

"they cost $30"

And they don't do anything.

_J_ said...

If you have yet to go to vgcats.com and read the comic posted at vgcats.com I suggest that you go to vgcats.com and read the comic posted at vgcats.com.

Probably best to do it today (4/1) rather than another day.

_J_ said...

Obama: How to be President.

I heart Obama.

_J_ said...

I think youtube may have won this April Fool's day.

Every Feature Video on the homepage links to RickRoll

Mike Lewis said...

there was a story on Cnet's The404 podcast yester. Sony Music, which holds the writes to Rick Astley's music, has been allowing clips from the video to be used in mash-ups without payment.

I guess someone in Sony's legal team has a sense of humor. And loses the mis-use of 80s music as much as i do.

as a side note: if i had my druthers, the cracked out baby at the top of this chat thread would replace rick rolling. Inasmuch as the cracked out baby has more fun ripping up paper than Elliot The Dog

Mike Lewis said...

it seems that my links in the post #5 didnt work because i left out the '='. This is what i get for forgeting my laptop power cable at home and having to use the crappy computer in my office.

_J_ said...

"it seems that my links in the post #5 didnt work because i left out the '='. This is what i get for forgeting my laptop power cable at home and having to use the crappy computer in my office."

Your only task for the rest of this week is to explain how it can be the case that your inability to type '=' is in any way related to your using an office computer rather than your laptop.

I'll send a note to your professors if you like.

Because what is required now is nothing less than some silent contemplation on how an inability to type '=' is based on the computer upon which one types.

Unknown said...

I didn't see the Tauren marine yesterday! I wants. Did you see the 'Action Moovie'? Watching the 5 Tauren marines wipe out the incoming force of 12 or so marines was amazing.

_J_ said...

I did not see the video. I cannot watch it at work and at home I played WoW and did my taxes.

Speaking of which, doing my taxes made me want to vote for Ron Paul.

Lee Hamilton Supports Obama!

_J_ said...

Who?

Andrew said...

An important southern IN politian
its kinda a big deal. cause the southern IN dems will listen to him. He is the only dem my father ever voted for. He was very popular

Andrew said...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_H._Hamilton

_J_ said...

According to the people with whom I work I look better with my House beard than I do clean shaven.

Also, Australia is having a toad killing day.

These two things are not related.

Unknown said...

Link appears to be broken...

_J_ said...

So it is.

Australian toad killing day.

_J_ said...

If they did pay $.40 per toad I might move to Australia and become a professional toad killer.

Mike Lewis said...

How i forgot the =
about a year ago i started using a program called program callde "TextExpander."

For the most part it acts like an audio create program. There are some words i spell wrong, and spell wrong the same way over and over. TextExpander sees my misspelled words, and fixes them.

I can also program it to insert bits of commoenly used code, like the html markup for links. i type {hreff} without the braces, and it inserts {a href=" "}{/a}.

on tuseday i forgot my laptop's power cable...and was using the computer in my office

_J_ said...

I guess I'm mostly confused as to how someone can consistently spell a word incorrectly and upon this realization they would not learn the correct spelling.

The letters we use to create words do not themselves have an inherent property other than what we give them in our learning to utilize them. If one consistently spells rake "raek" but can correctly spell "take" then it is not the case that one's understanding of "e" and "k" is somehow flawed. Rather, one's understanding of the particular word, the combination of letters, is flawed.

If there is a system to the incorrect spellings, if certain words are always spelled in the same incorrect way (as you indicate) then the error is not random but rather systematized, consistent, predictable.

So why not just fix the system?

Unknown said...

I'll fix your system!

Mike Lewis said...

Ill system you!

_J_ said...

Eat my system!

Mike Lewis said...

nobody is eating anything of anybodies!

_J_ said...

That's it! Pile on Kyle!

The biggest disappointment of the "future" is that 'bots aren't helpful housekeepers or dangerous maniacs or even wise-cracking movie goers, but rather they're fucking computer programs that advertise for piece of shit websites.

So sad.

Mike Lewis said...

i find it strange that we don't get more posts from bots.

since we have open posting and all.

_J_ said...

I employ anti-bot kung fu.

Mike Lewis said...

oh

_J_ said...

You question my kung fu?

Caleb said...

He is master of the bot-disappearance jutsu!

_J_ said...

It's true.

_J_ said...

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

This is the anime that girl everyone in Japan cosplays as came from.

I think I need to watch it.

Roscoe said...

And Lego Beta Ray Bill goes unappriciated for want of Warner Bros. and Epcot-stylee 50's Bots of the Future.


le sigh.

_J_ said...

You do realize that I had to google "lego beta ray bill" because of that post.

And found NOTHING.

Hate.

_J_ said...

JOY!

If you search digicatalog at google the fifth search result is my rant.

I hadn't even thought of that when I named it.

Unknown said...

He may have been more appreciated had you made a link

Some day you won't have to suffer because <a href="address">descriptive text</a> will no longer be confusing.

Roscoe said...

Don't mock my disability, Kyle. It still stings.

In other newses:
Tommmorrow night - Christopher Walken on SNL

Tonight:

Mikey prepares for Spoilers OMG.

Goddammit, it'll be good to get back in the tv watching and dithering game. Stretch some old unused muscles.

_J_ said...

"will no longer be confusing."

But it's currently not confusing.

Oh, I see what you did there.
