No foolin'

The April Fools joke is that there's no April Fools entry on the blog this year. Unless you think all the entries are pretty foolish. (And you may be right.)

Instead, I've noticed that the blog is climbing towards its thousandth entry. This post is the 953rd to be exact, as actuaries like to be. Kind of hard to believe that I've found nearly a thousand different things about game shows worth a full entry. Not to mention the hundreds of items that have gotten brief notices in the faux tweets.

By and large, game show blogging has been very enjoyable. I'll admit that sometimes the effort to post something or other gets a little annoying. But it's good for me somehow, just like Latin in high school.

The blog does give me a sense of freedom I don't get on Internet boards, where I have to obey the rules and mind the moderators and not get into overly ridiculous fights with other posters. (I can endure the just plain ridiculous fights.) The blog really does feel like my personal little corner of the Internet, where I get to be my own moderator.

So thanks to Google for the free use of their facilities. Even if they're collecting information on me.
