Not because I was immensely dissatisfied with Radio, just because TypePad is the better service. That, and Robb's Law: I don't want to have a weblog (any website really) on a domain that I don't own.
Ik ben verhuisd

Niet omdat ik heel erg ontevreden was van Radio, maar gewoon omdat TypePad beter is. En omdat ik er een website kan hebben op mijn eigen domeinnaam.

Order doesn't matter, huh? "English University", huh? WOW, well if someone you probably don't even know tells you that someone told them that it happened at an English University, then it must be true!!
Dollars to donuts it's an urban myth and will show up on snopes.com soon.
Granted, the topic is very interesting. But don't take the story hook line and sinker.

Comment from Martin on September 16, 2003 08:50 PMUnderstanding the context is key!
From: Restoring the Vision, Government Technology Volume 16 Issue 12 Aug 3 p15 sidebar
A phenotropics presentation Jaron Lanier gave at the University of California at Berkeley included the following quote, for which no origin is found.
"“ ... randomising letters in the middle of words [has] little or no effect on the ability of skilled readers to understand the text. This is easy to denmtrasote. In a pubiltacion of New Scnieitst you could ramdinose all the letetrs, keipeng the first two and last two the same, and reibadailty would hadrly be aftcfeed. My ansaylis did not come to much beucase the thoery at the time was for shape and senqeuce retigcionon. Saberi's work sugsegts we may have some pofrweul palrlael prsooscers at work. The resaon for this is suerly that idnetiyfing coentnt by paarllel prseocsing speeds up regnicoiton. We only need the first and last two letetrs to spot chganes in meniang.” "
Lanier tied this quote to phenotropics by saying language theorists seem to make a mistake in assuming natural language is more like computer language than it probably is.
My phenotropic work examines a radically anti-parse/anti-protocol approach to computer science,” he said. “I naturally wonder if natural language can also be understood with less reference to the kinds of structure usually found somewhat in common between it and traditional computer science. What if comprehension could survive all manner of scrambling, particularly of word order and word variation choice, like tense? My hypothesis is that even a tiny amount of the mysterious element we call ‘context’ can correct even very high levels of scrambling.”

Theh.
When I was a curly headed baby
My daddy sat me down on his knee
And he said, son you go to school
You learn your letters
Don't you be a dirty miner like me.
I was born and raised at the mouth
of the Hazard Holler.
Coal cars rambled past my door.
Now they're standing
In rusty rows all empty
And the L&N don't stop here anymore.
I used to think my daddy was a black man
With scrip enough to buy the company store.
Now he goes downtown with empty pockets
And his face is white as the February snow.
I was born and raised at the mouth
of the Hazard Holler.
Coal cars rambled past my door.
Now they're standing
In rusty rows all empty
And the L&N don't stop here anymore.
Last night I dreamed I went down
To the coal yard
To draw my pay like
I always did before.
But them old kudzu vines
Were growing through the doorways
And leaves and grass were growing
Right up through the floors.
I was born and raised at the mouth
of the Hazard Holler.
Coal cars rambled past my door.
Now they're standing
In rusty rows all empty
And the L&N don't stop here anymore.
Het arrangement op Johnny Cash's "Silver" is, erm, anders dan ik het gewoon was van Michelle Shocked, maar miljaar zo goed.
