I’ve done some April Fool’s jokes on this blog before but this year, it sort of snuck up on me so I didn’t have anything planned. Instead, I’ll link to a new sub-Reddit that was created just to track various 2012 April Fool’s stuff from around the web. Speaking of Reddit, they had their own […]

Although MetaFilter has its usual snark in talking about this release (“All that data […]

And it ain’t […]
If you’re like me, you probably woke up yesterday to find your Facebook, Twitter and other social feeds flooded with links to a video called “Kony 2012“.
