I am sorry if you beleived it. It was a really bad attempt. You all are smart people. I never planned on it getting this big. But it did. (Come one, I know the Google logo. I am actually a graphic designer, I just wanted to see reactions if it was a crappy back.)
Oh, right, I also DO know CSS and HTML. Just clarifying that. I never was going to let this go on longer than 12 hours.
Read the video descript for more info.
July 9, 2009 at 3:49 pm |
Why do you feel the need to persistently reinforce your alleged “knowledge” of CSS/HTML?
The lady doth protest too much…
What a plonker.
July 9, 2009 at 3:52 pm |
Don’t know, lol. People just gave me a lot of crap when the blog was in normal WordPress default…
But yeah, I am a graphic web designer so its like “I didn’t go through all that schooling to not brag. XD
July 9, 2009 at 4:02 pm |
Not bad.
believable, good show on basically suckering the internet for a day.
Hopefully we will see the real thing soon.
July 9, 2009 at 4:05 pm |
Exactly. I love Google so much…
Giving all this teasing makes people want the real thing. It creates energy. I always wanted it to be a one day show so people will be like ZOMG GOOGLE.
So there you have it, I did this to advertise Chrome OS
July 9, 2009 at 4:09 pm |
Nicely done.
July 9, 2009 at 4:13 pm |
I can’t believe you as being a professional graphic designer – not when you own such an ugly table.
July 9, 2009 at 4:21 pm |
Thanks. A lot. My deceased grandfather made that for me by hand.
Thanks.
A lot. =(
July 9, 2009 at 6:16 pm
The fact that your grandfather made that table by hand is just about as legit as those Chrome OS leaked screenshots.
July 9, 2009 at 10:53 pm

Umm…you didn’t fool everyone you thought you did. Just because a lot of people saw it doesn’t mean they believed it. I mean, you totally got the Google logo wrong, whether you did it on purpose or not.
And don’t try to make this into some epic achievement. Your video is vastly inappropriate. You’re not a legend, you’re not getting any attention after today. This is it. This is your fifteen minutes of internet fame. Go back to being nobody, why don’t you?

Judging from your poor grammar and spelling skills, I’d say you’re a programmer and not a graphic designer.
July 9, 2009 at 5:09 pm |
You are a graphic designer, yet your YouTube video intro looks like shit.
Final Countdown is way overdone these days (Thanks, Arrested Development).
July 9, 2009 at 5:12 pm |
Haha! Yeah, I really didn’t have time to do anything decent video wise right now. I just wanted to get the video out and end this.
But I use Adobe Photoshop CS4 and I edit videos in Premiere/After Effects. I have Pinnacle Studio 12, but I don’t use it that much.
SO I was adventerous and decided to use WIndows Crappy Maker
July 10, 2009 at 12:24 pm
I’m pretty sure everything you’ve said about “using gradients” to “experimenting with Windows Movie Maker” is just a shit attempt at covering your ass.
Just admit that the hoax was shitty and not done on purpose to “trick people”. You still fooled a lot of people. Don’t play it off like you’re hova
