No April Fool’s Post From Me

Published by John under Easy Listening. Popularity: 1%

There are a lot of April Fool’s posts out there. Google, NPR, Powell’s books.1 I generally love April Fool’s, but I do enough fooling the rest of the year, so have decided not to post an April Fool’s joke like so many others. In fact, I’ve decided not to post at all.

Nope, no posts about something crazy that happened in The Gorge. No posts about something that I built, or didn’t build.

No posts.

I’ve decided to give you all time to read other pranky posts– and I’m sure there are a lot. I’m not posting at all, so you have time to go peruse other great sites– sites like Stack Overflow where you can see the great thread on comments. Or go check out XKCD– I’m sure they have something going on.2

No, don’t bother coming here, because there won’t be any post on April 1st from yours truly. I’m going to be conspicuously silent and refrain from writing to give you space to enjoy other, better fare.

Probably a good thing, too, since I wouldn’t really have anything funny to say anyway

Greetings! I’m John Metta, writer, hydrologist, programmer, and a digger of all things tech nestled snugly in the Columbia River Gorge (i.e. Heaven). This blog started as a test bed for programming social media apps, but eventually became something that, for whatever reason, people actually read. In fact, people read it so much that I had to create a whole other blog called Mettaprogramming for the geeky stuff I write. Feel free to email me at or contact me on Twitter @mettadore.

A Glorious Day!
