Leave Me Alone box.

Awesome. I wonder how much time it took to make this anti-social trinket? Its a mechanical representation of being hungover and trying to sleep as someone else (the human hand in the video) tries to wake you up. It should have a self-destruct feature if the switch is clicked too often, that would be uber-emo.

The next Rickroll?

This is the next rickroll. Its annoying, overstated, and probably a huge hit in its country of origin. Rick should be proud.

Wing Night gets Rickrolled.

On Tuesday nights my friends and I go for wings to a local pub and I jumped on the opportunity to rickroll an entire pub full of people trying to enjoy a hockey game. The above pic is the jukebox at the restaurant.  I know rickrolling is getting old so stay tuned to the next post for a video that will replace all this Rick Astley once and for all.

Google uses gmail for April fools.

 

 

Google and the gmail team have put together a hilarious prank page about a new “feature” for gmail. The new feature is custom time, by setting the custom time the email will be delivered to the recipients inbox following the time that you dictate, like 6 hours ago. Its basically a time stamp that you create and the email will be delivered chronologically as opposed to actually. Take a look. 

  

The tech community takes april fools really seriously.  

Apple CEO Steve Jobs Interviewed by Mahalo

 

  I don’t know how they did it, but Mahalo got Steve Jobs to give an interview. I know I’m excited for the new iPod Air. 

Twitter. Its their fault.

According to UPI, many San Francisco companies are banning the use of electronic devices at their meetings. These blackberry/iphone/laptop haters are blaming the use of computers and the like on lower levels of attention displayed during meetings. These companies have no idea the can of death-worms they are opening if they make the wrong choice here. They think that people will pay more attention when they cannot connect with others via electronic means, what they fail to realize is that those very electronic means are the only thing keeping their meetings from dissolving into the carpeted area of a grade three, behaviorally challenged, elementary class. Their employees need twitter, facebook, digg, and OE (fingers crossed) just to get through the meeting. I recommend these companies watch “Lord of the Flies”, they should get the point.

Herpes?

The above photo has exploded with over 5000 diggs. I have looked at this picture for a while and I cannot come up with a single reason to answer the oh so obvious question; Why?
