Doing It Wrong, Done Wrongly: A Demonstration I am trying to write a post and needed, for reference, to find a certain past tweet. So I went to Google and, limiting the search to my tweets (using site:URL), typed in one of its key phrases. Specifically, the phrase doing it wrong. I could not find the particular tweet I’d wanted to reference, but I did have several past tweets with the same search phrase. Once I read all my wrong results for doing it wrong, I went back to the draft of the post I’d started. By which point I’d kind of forgotten why I’d needed to find that particular elusive past tweet. So to recap: In looking for ‘doing it wrong’ I found the wrong search results, thus doing wrong by my original goal.  It is a complete cycle of wrongness, likely to continue in perpetuity. And, OMG, how fucking wrong is THAT? __ P.S. For more on Doing It Wrong, see Moltz, who illustrates the concept better/more wrongly than anyone else alive.

Doing It Wrong, Done Wrongly: A Demonstration

I am trying to write a post and needed, for reference, to find a certain past tweet. So I went to Google and, limiting the search to my tweets (using site:URL), typed in one of its key phrases. Specifically, the phrase doing it wrong.

I could not find the particular tweet I’d wanted to reference, but I did have several past tweets with the same search phrase.

Once I read all my wrong results for doing it wrong, I went back to the draft of the post I’d started. By which point I’d kind of forgotten why I’d needed to find that particular elusive past tweet.

So to recap: In looking for ‘doing it wrong’ I found the wrong search results, thus doing wrong by my original goal.  It is a complete cycle of wrongness, likely to continue in perpetuity.

And, OMG, how fucking wrong is THAT?
