In an effort to economise, from 1 April, Barclays bank has switched to in-house steam powered computers.
Staff are being asked to take turns in the basement stoking the coal fired steam engines which now power their IT systems.
Unfortunately the only opportunity I had to photograph the bank was during their 10.30 tea break, so no steam was coming out of the chimneys.
My blog with tips, advice, analysis and stories.
IT WAS SUCH A FUN APRIL 1ST at the SAINT STUPID DAY'S PARADE in SAN FRANCISCO. There is no other event in the world where folks gather to HAVE FUN and poke fun at the imbedded horrid capitalist explotation of the world. NO VIOLENCE just FUN...
Everyone came in costume...ADDA came as a REPUBLICAN BURNING IN HELL (which we all know in our deepest of hearts is where all REPUBLICANS and RIGHT WING A-0's will end up) !
Everyone gathered at the EMBARCADERO then proceeded to the WORKERS STATUE...then to the OLD STOCK EXCHANGE for the wonderful spoof...SOCK EXCHANGE...everyone tossing old socks in the air ! A RIOT!
Onward to the BANKER's HEART...the big, black marble rock in front of BANK OF AMERICA...where everyone tossed their loose pennies at the banker's greedy heart!
There was tons of good fun, great signs, good vibes, political statements, and incredible costumes
(BTW...so much more fun, much better and more creative than the WONDERCOM folks who have to rely on someone elses creativity! geesh)

This was my attept at an April Fool Joke..
I participate in a forum where we do a monthly challenge to learn a new photography technique. This month it was my turn to chose the technique.
I chose "Dark Aperture Photography".
This is a technique video I made to demonstrate the idea behind it - vimeo.com/39556279
Happy April Fool's Day!
One of you (Sheena) actually said, "Oh... he is just lovely, lovely, lovely. It never ceases to amaze me how much you both look alike. Hey mb, if you've got baby pics of yourself, why not post them up for us to make a better comparison?"
To which I now say, er, I did.
And yes, we do look alike as babies.
Hahahaaha! Fooled ya.

APRIL FOOL'S DAY in SAN FRANCISCO is celebrated with the annual ST. STUPID's DAY PARADE which starts out at JUSTIN HERMANN PLAZA and winds its way through the Financial District.
Absolute F-U-N !
This year the corporate BAIL-OUT greedy pigs were honored as well as the general STUPIDness of well, anything & everything!
Some highlights are featured here...such as the rally at the SOCK EXCHANGE (Pacific Stock Exchange) where socks were exchanged by being thrown in the air!
The ST STUPID'S DAY PARADE went to CITIBANK, 101 CALIFORNIA...where it was lunch hour and the PARADE shouted to the businesspersons...GO BACK TO WORK!
...and of course, the PARADE would not be complete without a visit to the cold black BANKER'S HEART in front of BANK OF AMERICA where folks tossed pennies at the black marble 'sculpture'.
The faces of the tourists and the businesspersons who didn't have the slightest idea of WHAT THE HELL was going on.
A very ONLY IN SAN FRANCISCO event!

Anna and Jackie decided to punish George for not coming to the office on April Fools' Day and avoiding any potential pranks.
The best part is that the Post-It notes are reusable when taken down. Or he can leave them there and grab them as he needs them.
this kid had a cool rain jacket with a monster head on the hood and was also wearing lady bug rain boots.

This is real!
As most of you noticed, yesterday's post was our april-fools-contribution. No, Freddy Schenk was not surfing with us...
But this one is real: It's a real nice wave in the real Andalucia camp with a very real Ben! Kattuuschh!1!

...when you pry it from my cold dead fingers.
I love my TX very very much. If somebody ever tries to do something to my TX, they will suffer unspeakable pains that will certainly involve wires and definately require high voltage.
In case you were wonderng, I had .nida take a picture of her Digital Rebel box for April Fools. I'm still shootin' film. :P
34/65 with the following text:
"We have your bunny. If you do not comply, we will kill your bunny. If you go to the police we will kill your bunny.
All we want is 200 carrots in small untraceable slices and 10 carrot cakes By noon tomorrow.
Or the bunny gets it
Don't contact us. We'll contact you!

This is the prank I'm pulling on all my coworkers today. So far I've gotten 8 victims!! HILARIOUS! (Works on both ball and optical mice!)
The whole office is a buzz with people banging and shaking their mice. One guy said he traced the cord back to the computer and rebooted it twice and before thinking to flip the mouse over.
