I'm headed to Dallas today for my brother's wedding! Before I leave, my pick of the week's top 5 items of interest:

1. Despite the controversy, it looks like Microsoft's Office Open XML will be ratified as an ISO standard.


2. Adobe has interesting news about Photoshop CS4: it will run on 64-bit Windows but not 64-bit Mac. This is a good article to read about the concerns of developing cross-platform software. (Thanks, Allan)


3. Have you been rickrolled yet?


4. Is Google in a slide?


5. Three days ago was of course April Fool's (and my father's birthday- any relationship? ). I pulled a joke on a fellow colleague, but nothing that would make this list. The best joke I saw was on Wikipedia. Anyone else have a favorite?

April Fools

I guess it's time I came clean. Michael, you're on Facebook! And you're one popular guy... already 26 friends!


Please don't turn me into the Facebook police.

Update on 4/3/2008:

Michael said he thought this was a pretty funny joke, and he promised to login once a year on April 1 to see if anything has changed. So if any of you want to be his friend, send in a request. I'll check his Facebook account about once a month and answer any outstanding friend requests. Let's see if we can push his friends count at least to 100 by April 1, 2009!
