Oh April Fools, You Bring Me Joy
Every year April Fools’ Day delivers wacky internet hijinx, and it seems like each year sites try to outdo themselves and each other. Some of my favorites from today thus far include Facebook’s LivePoke system (which I absolutely wish were real) and Google’s free in-home, toilet-based broadband. More awesomeness to be updated throughout the day!

Mark Day Comedy
I’ve found my new favorite comedian on YouTube. His comedy is sophisticated, well-timed with the news cycle, and his delivery is perfect. The style reminds me of ZeFrank but not nearly as manic. You really should check him out, here’s a link to his video list on YouTube.
An excerpt from his self-description on his profile:
Mark Day is a grumpy, bald Scotsman who lives near San Francisco.He claims to enjoy stand-up comedy, suburban living and smoked pork. Also the music of Judas Priest and John Coltrane (not at the same time). His dislikes include almost everything else. Mark recently became and American citizen, and is looking forward to his next trip to Europe, where he will pretend to be Canadian. He has a funny accent. But so do you, in the right context. Find him on myspace.com/markday
