Why You Guys Make No Ridiculous April Foolery This Year?
« on: Tue, 01 April 2014, 14:44:29 »
Hey GH,

Just wonder why nobody pulled any silliness this year for April Fool's Day.  I was waiting for something extra st00pid this year for some reason. 

Wasn't it last year that boost had that fake sale?  And didn't Inlikeflynn do something similar the year before that?

Anyway, I guess it's not too late!

Clacks for a penny! (c)

Lemme see what you got.

Yesterday I was considering doing what MOZ did and pretend I was leaving the keyboard game, and create a fake ad to sell all my stuff. But then I realized it'd be a waste of time, since nobody would miss me if I was gone anyways...

Ok fine, I exaggerated. Slightly...

You could just be the exception that proves the rule, though. :P

Yeah, that boost is a rascal.  And I know him IRL, so I can say that with affection.

BTW, I recently lost the use of my hands in a cooking class accident, so now I type by swinging my pen!s around and slapping the keyboard.  I was wondering what is the most comfortable keyboard for the slapping pen!s method of typing?

Yeah, I saw that one.  But that gag has been done before.  That is not the truly st00pid that I was expecting.  I guess my expectations were too high.  Oh and by "truly st00pid" I guess I really mean funny, even if totally ridiculous.

The problem is timezones.

By the time most of you start posting these things, it is already 2nd of April over here.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
