I found this on my feed on Facebook and found it amusing ;-)  In attempting to amplify stuff less over on that site, I decided to post it here. Back when my VW Beetle had a tape deck, I had seen iPod adaptors that converted the audio using a tape casing that had no magnetic tape in it.  I wonder if this is what Laserbeak had on the show ;-)

 I came across this during April Fool's this year, but I completely forgot about it.  I found a screengrab while cleaning out my desktop the other day :-)

 OK... here are some screencaps of some things I saw around the web last Friday that made me chuckle a bit :-) That's all for April Fool's 2022 ;-)

 Another set of April Fool's jokes from this year.  This time from Duolingo, Sunkist, and Form Labs :-)

 Here's another April Fools... this time from Star Trek Online, a mashup of the Pathfinder and the Yaeger (and yes, I'd fly this... if it weren't exploding when you first set foot on it 😂)From the announcement:The Pathyeager was the brainchild of Starfleet’s first Pakled ship designer, Nahamcam [Nuh-ham-kam], inspired by the old Dominion War-era USS Yeager and the Clumpships of the 2380s.Splicing

 I would say that I'll miss you - but you can't depart quickly enough.  I think this bitmoji sums up the year :-)

The other post was getting a bit long, so I am continuing it here (who knows, there may even be a part III!)Marvel's Agents of SHIELDI rather liked this series. It follows a group of SHIELD agents who are protecting the earth from whatever big bad happens to exist.

How to Be Black by Baratunde R. Thurston My rating: 5 of 5 stars I won this book at a conference a few years back (Baratunde was one of the keynote speakers) and I finally had a chance to read it.  For someone who didn't spend all of my formative years in the US, I think the subject is approached in a humorous and approachable manner.
