April 1st, 2025 @ Electronic Design: Electrical Mayhem
What you'll learn:
- Why there can still be some humor in the world.
- How engineers and editors while away the hours.
- Why we have to put an explicit explanation about an April 1st article so that the search engines don’t ding us for something humorous.
Welcome to another iteration of Electronic Design's and Microwaves & RF's April 1st series of articles designed to stupefy and entertain the engineer in you.
We hope you will read them all and then take our poll to let everyone know your favorite.
If you don't find one to your liking, then check out the articles from previous years.

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.
I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
