Update, 10am 2 Apr 2004: What? It’s Friday? I thought it was Saturday. <grumble> #

Update, 1am 2 Apr 2004: Well, that was fun. Hits from Boingboing, Mathowie, WaSP, and a bunch of other places, with my bandwidth intact. Anyway, I’m stuck in Baltimore right now, having missed the last train back to DC, and starting tomorrow I’m going to enjoy a nice, long, relaxing weekend with Amy at the Cherry Blossom Festival. More words soon on standards, markup, color palettes, image compression, and designing for traffic. Have a good Palm Sunday weekend and remember to set your clocks ahead. #

Happy April 1st. In addition to M4WeSt, there’s more craziness going on elsewhere on the web:

• On Blogs4God: B4G to acquire B4A and B4B and MS to acquire RCC.
• You got Metawiki in my Metafilter. And JRun must be some kind of bandwidth throttle control.
• Bowman and Shea. CSS thieves, the lot of them.
• Web standards, the new V1ÄgRä. Your website is soooo big.
• Netscape returns. XML surrenders.
• New Google job opening. You’d be a lunatic not to apply.
• Lycos comes to this. (Wait, what’s that? What do you mean it’s not an April Fool’s joke?)
• PEX’s “administrative” forum is showing. (registration required)
• Quake in I.F. mode! Now Pong is no longer alone.
• Thinkgeek now carries Hunger Eliminators, Hamster Habitat Casemods, PC Bakers, and Super Secret Binary Shirts.
• Radley Balko is going premium. $29.95 a month is reasonable, I suppose.
• Homestarrunner failed to renew. If you have a fast connection, go look. Now.
• Batman Begins. Check out the Monster BatHummer.
• Bunghole Discharge. The Low Carb Possum sure looks good.
• Chicken Bomb. I smell fowl play.
• BMW: A New Way to Cook. Electromagnetic Food-what?
• Mac G5 Cubed. But I’m not getting one till it comes in a Cube casing.
• Klingon Eye for the Human Guy. ngaghchuqbogh loDpu’ be’pu’ ghap DIbvaD wo’lIj vuD nuq!
• Jeeves in boxers. “Wardrobe malfunction.” Heh.
• It’s the end of an era. Dawg.
• More here. And here.
