Year: 2005

P2P Revolution: Opera Announces Platform-Independent Real-Time Speech Technology, dubbed “Opera SoundWave”. Hysterical.

Another good one from Google — Google Gulp. Unlike last year’s April Fool’s announcement, this one is pretty clearly a joke…

Press release is here, I’m certain this will cause a stir…

Been way too busy to stoke the creative flames the past couple days, so here’s a list of links to past April Fool’s jokes I’ve done over the past couple years: 2004: IRS announces WYSKster 2003: Google Acquisitions Create ‘Movable Bloggerland’ (still my favorite) 2000: Bill Clinton to Launch E-Commerce IPO (with Erik Heels) 1999:…

(Disclosure: I helped set up and maintain the original campaign blog. I have nothing to do with the Senate site.) FYI, in case anyone’s wondering: you can’t comment…

Great new group blog over at Corante, Between Lawyers, a veritable who’s who of leading lawyer/bloggers. Early posts look great, a definite must-have in the aggregator.
