Steven Johnson on his use of DEVONthink as Tool for Thought: in the NY Times, on his weblog. [ Ø SMLF • ]

"[T]he qualitative change lies elsewhere: in finding documents I've forgotten about altogether, documents that I didn't know I was looking for."

"Now, strictly speaking, who is responsible for that initial idea? Was it me or the software? It sounds like a facetious question, but I mean it seriously. Obviously, the computer wasn't conscious of the idea taking shape, and I supplied the conceptual glue that linked the London sewers to cell metabolism. But I'm not at all confident I would have made the initial connection without the help of the software. The idea was a true collaboration, two very different kinds of intelligence playing off each other, one carbon-based, the other silicon."

Synergetic Intelligence."[T]he organization supporting Linux has matured more dramatically than most outsiders realize." [ Ø SMLF • ] Automatic Meaning Discovery Using GoogleCharles Simonyi: "The key difference between programming in the abstract and programming as a business is that there is a solid purpose in business. Otherwise, it is just an abstract activity, like playing a game of chess. When you are at the end of the game, you jumble the pieces. The game is gone. When the program is done, some people use it, and I see they enjoy it, and I derive enjoyment from that. Some of them even pay for it, and some of that money finds its way into my pockets, which I then spend on visiting Egypt, or flying a helicopter for half an hour, which is, by the way, a lot like programming projects: The launch and landing are spectacular, the ride can get very tiring, and the whole thing can come apart at any time."
