Hypocrisy

Google Zooms In Too Close for Some in the New York Times. The article, discussing privacy issues surrounding Google Street View, uses as its human-interest lead a woman named Mary Kalin-Casey, who a few days earlier discussed Street View with BoingBoing and complained that anonymous people on the Internet could see her living room and her cat.

Wordie. Wordie! It’s not Werty but hey.

A few summers after I got my nickname I attended camp with a kid who spent the entire seven weeks asking me to spell stuff. I figured he knew I was sixth grade spelling bee champ or something. It wasn’t until the second to last day of camp that I realized he thought my nickname was “Wordy” and that he assumed I was a word genius (or something).
