From the Ted Talk by Rives: The Museum of Four in the Morning

Unscramble the Blue Letters

Just when things were getting pttrey iteriennstg, things got really interesting. TED.com launched, later that year, with a bunch of videos from past talks, including mine, and I started receiving "four in the morning" citations from what seemed like every time zone on the planet. Much of it was content I never would have found on my own if I was looking for it, and I was not. I don't know anybody with juvenile diabetes. I probably would have missed the blekoot, "Grilled Cheese at Four O'Clock in the Morning." (lgehautr) I do not subscribe to coehrct Today! magazine, although it looks delightful. (Laughter) Take note of those colck ends. This is a college student's suggestion for what a "four in the morning" gang sign should look like. People sent me magazine ads. They took photographs in grocery srtoes. I got a ton of graphic novels and comics. A lot of good quality work, too: "The Sandman," "Watchmen." There's a very cute example here from "Calvin and Hobbes." In fact, the oldest ctoitain anybody sent in was from a cartoon from the sntoe Age. Take a look.
