April Fools

So my family held me back from doing any April fools day jokes at work. The confetti over the doors didn't fly. Neither did the industry-rattling press releases I drafted. Oh well, I can live vicariously through Google.

Google recently released an improved 3D CAD software. Is there anything these guys can't do? It's free for playing around, and you can upgrade to a professional version or share your designs with the world.

When I think about all the hours wasted in video games, Sim City and Sim Tower ate up as much of my time as Zelda. They felt like living games and I was the emperor. Well, Google wants you to play Sim Campus, a promo to build buzz and trial of SketchUp, and build up their 3D database. Very smart.
