Battelle the Grump

OK, some of you have given me shit for having no sense of humor regarding Google’s April’s Fool post. Sorry. It was funny, OK? FUNNY. But…well, I guess I’m overanalyzing. I’ll be on vacation week after next, and I promise, I’ll come back with my priorities straight.

Meantime, Yahoo’s Slacker spoof was also funny. I liked this line, clearly a dig at Google Print:

And yes, Ask’s was funny too!
