In that way, I wonder whether our brains aren't becoming less like indexes and more like librarians. The situation isn't quite as Peter presents it: The key skill isn't knowing where to find information. It's knowing where to find where to find information.

So I've had a gigantic (blog)crush on been reading Ezra Klein for years, but that statement above just makes me go <3<3. He was at The American Prospect for years until he moved to the Washington Post to needle the crotchety old bastards there. He's smart and incisive, knows disturbing amounts about health care policy, and likes Sichuanese food. So you should read him.

Also, you should download the Barsuk and Sub Pop Amazon samplers. They're free and they're fantastic and help me not look hopelessly out of date when people ask me what the cool kids are into these days.
