Every year around this time, the marketing department gets together to plan a strategy for April Fools\u2014we say \u201cstrategy\u201d because we take it seriously. And every year, some questionable ideas inevitably arise (someone invariably brings up illogical data center locations and has to be shot down). Patrick\u2019s wife has been going on about a Cloud-Enabled Pizza Delivery joke (thanks to Lebron James\u2019s pizza exploits at \u201cBlaze Pizza\u201d<\/a>\u2014nice name by the way). We\u2019ve kindly had to let her down as well.<\/p>\n But this year, obviously, is different. And, given that there\u2019s already more than enough confusion going on in the news when it comes to COVID-19<\/a>, we all agreed that it was not the best time to add any more by making you wonder, \u201cDid they really replace their Fireball service with cats?<\/a>\u201d No, this isn\u2019t the time for April Fools posts and shenanigans, but that doesn\u2019t mean you, our faithful blog readers, can\u2019t have a little fun at our expense.<\/p>\n We\u2019re completely focused on ensuring that our services deliver for you all, and part of that effort involves keeping up morale across our team and among you, our community.<\/p>\n We hope you and yours are doing well, and in lieu of spending a lot of time creating something new to help folks chuckle, we wanted to share some of our April Fools posts from years past\u2014which we hope will help you crack a smile in case you missed them.<\/p>\n One of the first things Andy did when he joined Backblaze was come up with an excuse to put on his Blues Brothers outfit and hum a few bars. He didn\u2019t think this video was still online; we want to assure him that it is.<\/p>\nAndy Singing<\/a><\/h4>\n
