      Glocker Z-Day Round-Up

      By consumerist.com, 9:10 AM on Mon Apr 3 2006, 667 views

      glockerzday.jpgOn March 28th, 2006, a strange Venusian satellite streaked an eerie fluorescent parabola across the sky, irradiating the world's cemetaries, funeral parlors and abattoirs with an extraterrestrial radiation. Four days later, the dead walked, slavering for human flesh and tasty brains. And we were here covering it.

      Just in case you missed Saturday's day-long coverage of the zombie apocalypse on the Glocker sites (the agglomeration of vaguely tech-oriented sites on the Gawker network, containing Gizmodo, Lifehacker, Consumerist and Kotaku), here's a round-up of all the posts made on April 1st. Gizmodo became Gizombo. Lifehacker became Deathhacker. The Consumerist became The Flesh Consumerist. And Kotaku got a zombified subtitle.

      The full list of Z-Day posts across all sites is after the jump:

      • Gizombo: Keeping Readers Living [Gizmodo]
      • Deathhacker: End of the world? Yeah, Right [Lifehacker]
      • Announcement: The Flesh Consumerist [Consumerist]
      • Kotaku: Making Your Last Life Count [Kotaku]
      • Morning Deals Round-Up [Consumerist]
      • Wal-Mart Big Boxes Serve As Zombie-Invulnerable Forts [Consumerist]
      • McDonald's Can't Keep Up With Undead Demand [Consumerist]
      • Companies Replace Indians With Zombie CSRs [Consumerist]
      • Use Google Maps To Track Zombies In Your Area [Lifehacker]
      • Ask MetaFilter Roundup [Lifehacker]
      • Picking the right tool for the job [Lifehacker]
      • Zombism obviating social networking services [Lifehacker]
      • Geek to Die: How-To Date The Dead [Lifehacker]
      • Zombie Survival Guide [Gizmodo]
      • Winchester XXX-Magnum Zombie-Killing Shotgun Shells Flying Off Shelves [Gizmodo]
      • Hemopurifier: Human-Powered Blood Filter [Gizmodo]
      • Crowd Control: Toro Lawn Boy 10367 [Gizmodo]
      • Jetlagged? Turn into a zombie [Gizmodo]
      • Zombie Hand Holds Leash, Flips Bird for You [Gizmodo]
      • Chomp! MDS Silver Bullet Rock Bucket [Gizmodo]
      • Essentials: Snowpeak Titanium Spork [Gizmodo]
      • Neptunic Bite-Proof Sharksuits [Gizmodo]
      • Crowd Control: Stihl HT 100 Pole Pruner [Gizmodo]
      • Miyamoto Announces Nintendo DSkin [Kotaku]
      • American McGree Announced American McGee's Hansel and Gretel [Kotaku]
      • WoW Alliance Dwindles As Players Transition To Undead [Kotaku]
      • After Z-Day, Sony Confident There Will Be No PS3 Shortages [Kotaku]
      • Will Wright's Spoor [Kotaku]

      If you're wondering who to blame, Glocker Z-Day was a Consumerist joint. Joel Johnson and John Brownlee wrote almost all of the posts across the four sites. Ben Popken, of course, did nothing. Go Consumerist!
