- 📚 The Annals of the Heechee by Frederik Pohl A little action, a lot of interesting playing with AIs and 'machine-stored intelligences', and, again, an unfortunate subplot involving sexualizing young girls. ➡

- NIN Strobe Light is Out! Generally, I'm not much for April Fools on the internet, as much of what's out there is dumb, mean, or some combination of both. This one, though, I'm good with. ➡

- Why I Wish NIN’s ‘Strobe Light’ Was Real As the day wore on, I started thinking about just why this particular joke appealed to me so much, and why -- as horrid as this may seem to some people -- yes, I wish this one wasn't a hoax. If this were a real album, I'd _gladly_ pay good money to pick it up. ➡

- 2006 Emerald City Comicon I spent a few hours wandering around this years' Emerald City ComiCon today. Most of the pictures I've posted to Flickr are of the costume contest, but there's quite a few from my wanders through the showcase floor as well. ➡

- Best. April. Fools. Story. EVAR!!!1!!11! With Star Trek: Enterprise hanging by a veritable thread the last two years, a new direction for the show has recently been unveiled that is being hailed both as a triumph of corporate synergy for the Viacom-owned Paramount Pictures, and a way to keep the show on the air. ➡
- Boring Area Guide Today Boing Boing pointed to the masterfully-done parody of their site, Boring Boring. Reading it in my newsreader, I was treated to the following automatically-generated ad after their post... ➡
- Congratulations Marc and Laura! Assuming all went as planned, at some point earlier today, my friends Marc and Laura got married. Congratulations, you two! Sorry I can't be there, but my best wishes go out to both of you. ➡
- Gothic…but not a Goth Ogre's been running a 'Kill Your Idols' week on his journal this week, asking people to take their favorite musician, filmmaker, author, and artist down a few notches. To wrap things up, today's topic was 'your scene', which prompted this brilliant post by chrisbynum that absolutely _nails_ much of why I've never self-identified as 'Goth'. ➡
- April Fools Day I tried coming up with something amusing to post for April Fools Day, but couldn't come up with anything I really liked. So, failing that, I'll just remind everyone to have fun today, and try not to get too suckered. :) ➡

- April Fools! Well, yeah, okay, so it's the 2nd now. In lieu of actually posting any sort of joke, a few fun April Fool's links… ➡
- Bow down before the one you serve Well, I conquered the world tonight. Twice actually. ➡
- The same way in any country …voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country. ➡

- Bye-bye Andersen Okay. How's this for an 'April Fools' day post -- I got fired. Unfortunately, this isn't a joke. ➡
