I like this article: Lord of the Memes by the NYtimes on intellectual trends
It was on the ST too.

"Today, Kindle can change the world, but nobody expects much from a mere novel. The brain overshadows the mind. Design overshadows art."

"When you first come across some obscure cultural artifact — an unknown indie band, organic skate sneakers or wireless headphones from Finland — you will want to erupt with ecstatic enthusiasm. This will highlight the importance of your cultural discovery, the fineness of your discerning taste, and your early adopter insiderness for having found it before anyone else."

Fantastic.
Witty. W a sarcastic undertone. I like this guy.
( crap. just notice we got the same granddad specs. muhaha.)
