momentary scanning error 5704

My roommate has been buying this one cereal lately and leaves his empty boxes by the back door for someone to take out. Anyways, I have seen these empty boxes repeatedly in the past month and never take more than a moment to look at them as I walk into the kitchen.

However, each time I see them, my mind reads “Oat Cheese Cheerios”. Even though I know that they are Oat Cluster Cheerios (at least looking delicious from the box’s marketing perspective), my mind still registers Oat Cheese. Adding insult to injury, the more I think about Oat Cheese Cheerios, the more I see Oat Cheese Cheerios. The result is that I am curious as to what oat cheese would taste like. Maybe oat cheese processing requires the elimination of acceleration from goat cheese manufacturing. Kind of like decaffeinating coffee. I’d be up for trying some.

Question: What would you talk about if you were given 3 minutes at the TED conference? Answer: You’d talk about something you love. This 3-minute talk by Hotmail venture capitalist Steve Jurvetson is wonderfully executed, enhanced with fast-paced visuals, completely stutter-free and is the best way you’ll spend 3 minutes of your Thursday afternoon.
