I got a good chuckle out of Flickr's April Fools announcement of the "new look" for all of our photos, with retro dithering!
I must be just the right age for this gag because trying it out brings back memories of crappy printed newsletter photos, slippery old faxes, web dithering of GIFs when you had to similate color blends beyond the limited palette screens could show, punk rock flyers, Quark Express and Freehand, my "computer assisted printmaking" class at MICA, manually making halftone PMTs for print with a plastic screen and a room-sized camera, and of course our high school newspaper, "The Black & White"!
I like the way they made other parts of the page "computer-y" too, with the monospaced fonts and black and white where they could.
I saw one blog that touted, "I think this is a game changer. Take that, Instagram!"
From the Flickr blog today: "Your photos, re-envisioned!
We’ve been working around the clock on our bold new design, destined to become the default view for all photos on Flickr – and we can’t wait to show it to you today!"
ひどい！ ひどすぎる！(笑)
届いて喜んだのも束の間、マニュアルに「Program Volumeのつまみを回して下さい」と書いてあっても、俺のProにはそんなつまみなんかねぇーーっ！
よっく見ると、KAOSS PADって本体上部にでかでかと書いてありやがる。
でも、あくまで中身はKaossilator Proなんです。いや、まじで。液晶も緑だし。(笑)
これは初期不良で送り返すべきか悩む。いや、悩まないか…。
届いたのが4/1っていうのが、どんだけ出来すぎてるんだか。今まで生きてきた中で最大級のエープリルフールイベントでした。(涙)
The Aliens were seen taking some classic items from a local boot sale which sold for 500 credits on Intergalactic e-bay

Last night Helen put out a shirt for me to wear which she doesn't do often, but i do appreciate. However, this was one of my favorite work shirts where i had worn out the elbow and she said she'd fix by turning it into a short-sleeved shirt.
She did that and more. When i put the shirt on it felt scratchy by the sleeve and when i saw the lace trim i howled with laughter, went back into the bedroom and kissed and laughed the morning into light.
I decided to wear it to work, pretending i didn't notice that the sleeves were 'funny.' And i made it through 2 meetings (one with 4 different directors) without anyone saying anything to me.
At the end of the 2nd meeting when Tim asked if anybody had anything else to report, i said that I did and began to tell them that "Helen sets my shirts out for me and i didn't realize the april fools joke until i got to work..." Laughter and not a little bit of relief.
The funniest reaction was much later when the head of Medical Records told me that she was glad that i told everyone it was an april fool's joke because she was mortified because she (seriously) thought i was perhaps wearing women's underwear under my clothing and that somehow a small part was showing!
I am Helen's sweet April Fool and love her fiercely!
