It's "Galapagos" or "Galápagos," not "Galapogos."

You miswrote OP’s miswriting in the third version :)

Argh, autocorrect got me. Thanks, fixed.

Aaand now OP has fixed it in the HN post title. Still wrong in the linked article.

He's not referring to the real islands, but rather the state of mind imposed upon existence on Vancouver Island.
