Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

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.

The spacebar on my macbook is not being nice, and being somewhat unresponsive. I am fearful of messing up my laptop, can someone remind me of the appropriate/available method for cleaning it, and whether that would help? (Yes, I do tend to be eating food while using the computer, I am a bad bad person)

It showed up on my iGoogle page.

Instead of Google, it spelled out Topeka in Google colors.
