Dammit. I was going to sign up, but now I'm afraid it'll conflict with my plans to go to work at Google's new office on the Moon.

Decisions, Decisions.

Actually, this looks pretty good. People and organizations like this will lead the way forward into space. Relying on governments alone will leave us waiting and paying for a long time. I especially like the way they've cast a wide net with their plan and survey. Leveraging the transportation expertise of Virgin with the information management expertise of Google seems like a potent combination. Futuristic visions like this are very exciting, it feels like science fiction is becoming science fact. Our destiny as a species lies beyond cradle Earth. Out there! Life's (as we know it) next great diaspora!

What is today's date?

Isn't Google pretty well known for their 4/1 jokes?

01 Apr 2008, of course. Why do you ask?

Yep. They have one going.

I heard they have a big one planned for this year; can't wait to see what it is!

Let me know when it happens, please?

Oh! Me too! I *love* a good joke.

WTF?!?

I feel so... used.

this is april 1st, mind.


and i thought it was gonna be galled project Googin?

Screw them. The bastards never responded to my application to go work on the moon. I won't give them the satisfaction twice.

Probably for the better. No jobs on the moon. You would have ended up on welfare.

I know that. I *knew* that. All along.
