Misread
July 17, 2007 – 7:10 PMWhen I’m lying in bed with my Powerbook, I’m probably either about to go to sleep, or trying to wake up. In either case, my eyes are usually bleary, my brain tired, and I’m likely skipping through RSS feeds trying to catch up on my internet gossip.
So headlines get parsed a little funny sometimes. It’s sort of like reading The Onion, except when I double-take and go back, the headlines are never quite as entertaining as they were on first pass.
Some good ones from this week:
Jesus deals another blow to RIAA’s war against on-campus filesharing
(was: Judge deals another blow to RIAA’s war against on-campus filesharing)Look Back at 40 Years of Reagan Hits
(Look Back at 40 Years of Reggae Hits)Quest for Synthetic Orgasms Calls for New Rules, Critics Say
(Quest for Synthetic Organisms Calls for New Rules, Critics Say)Cyberpanic Crowd Pushes "Psychic Information Welfare"
(Cyberpanic Crowd Pushes "Psychic Information Warfare")
I’ll continue to share these as my poor tired brain generates them. Stay tuned!
