Another Microsoft blogger that I should have known about before: K.C. Lemson, a Program Manager on Exchange, who has been blogging since September 2003 about Exchange, Outlook, and other parts of the Office System.

Among her valuable posts for end users:

• How to hyperlink into the middle of a Word document
• Flag messages with a single keystroke and other Outlook usability tips
• Pointers to coming security features in IE in Windows XP SP2 (hint: bye-bye, Gator)

...and those are just on her front page. Among the rest of the posts: insights into life at Microsoft, being a PM, being married to a fellow Microsoftie, etc., all really personable and highly readable. Subscribed.

A round up of odd April Fools’ gags across the Net:

• The first annual March for Web Standards hits Washington, DC today. Hide those nested tables and non-validating pages, everyone!
• The EFF is merging with the Department of Justice and spoiling for a fight with the ACLU. Place yer bets.
• Read Google’s S-1 filing with the SEC yet? I bet Larry and Sergey were surprised that that lava lamp wholesaler got as good a deal as he did.
• Via Pho, a new Internet RFC (3751), the Omniscience Protocol will help copyright holders determine when computer users have committed an illegal activity with their properties (see also Slashdot).
• The BBC says that a Cold War era nuclear landmine was to be filled with chickens to regulate its temperature.
