And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It was probably just observing a moment of silence in advance of becoming obsolete once the iPad is released.

I had a bad HDMI cable - it must have had an internal break or short, because I had to move the cable around to get it to work (and it either worked 100% or the picture was complete static)

I wonder how they got static from a digital signal? Do the TVs have static generators?

Hey. New board.

xkcd is AWESOME today. I don't know if it's an April Fools thing or not, but even though there's no new comic on Thursday you should all check it out.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Gris is evidently a skimmer.

Er, of Natter.

ita evidently doesn't pay attention to what thread she's in.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

How does one go about making a podcast? Or, more importantly, since I still own a Nokia made in the year of our Lord 2000, making it available to listen to on a phone?

Excellent, thanks, Jon. So, I'll assume that once it's up, people with iPhones and such can download it wherever? I've been tasked with setting in motion a podcast garden tour, so people can take self-guided tours and be able to play small segments for a given area.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Anyone see Google's logo for April 1st?

No! I tried to go to google, but it kept taking me to my igoogle page, so I didn't see the logo.
