April Fools Site: Website 15.0!!!

Posted April 1, 2004, 4:03 p.m.

To mess with people, I decided I would come up with a crappy design for my site and put it up as an April Fools joke. Here is the supposed “Website 15.0!!!” that went up on that day. Made in 2004.

Website 15.0!!! April Fools.

Scott Bradford has been putting his opinions on his website since 1995—before most people knew what a website was. He has been a professional web developer in the public- and private-sector for over twenty years. He is an independent constitutional conservative who believes in human rights and limited government, and a Catholic Christian whose beliefs are summarized in the Nicene Creed. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Public Administration from George Mason University. He loves Pink Floyd and can play the bass guitar . . . sort-of. He’s a husband, pet lover, amateur radio operator, and classic AMC/Jeep enthusiast.

The rules are simple: they lie to us, we know they’re lying, they know we know they’re lying but they keep lying anyway, and we keep pretending to believe them.

There can never be any real opposition between religion and science; for the one is the complement of the other.
