You April Fool, you.
For your April Fool’s Day merriment:
*The History of April Fool’s Day. Why am I not surprised that scholared believe it began in France, a country founded on making others feel stupid?
*A very long list of web-related April Fool’s Day silliness.
*Kinja, the blog-reader application funded by Nick Denton that my friend Meg has been heading up has launched in beta. This is not a joke. The New York Times, the world’s most humorless publication wrote something about it. Meg also announced that she’s leaving the project at the end of this month. No kidding here.
*Joshua Davis’s annual peek-under-the-hood of the history of his website Praystation. His cover art only includes 1998-2000. What happened to the rest?
*The annual St. Stupid’s Day Parade right here in San Francisco. My home.
