Made out of people

Brad DeLong uses Google as his storage

Brad DeLong mentions that Google is the best way of finding his own materials. It's faster to type a few keywords than it is to search through his records--and as such, he finds himself posting more and more to his weblog.

I do the same: Google is, in some sense, "distance one" from everything. A quick check of my Googel search history shows "StringLabeller" (a term unique to JUNG), "Everyday collaboration" to find a copy of my CHI paper, and even "Danyel Fisher resume" to find my own resume.

Yes, it's two clicks off of my home page. But Google is faster.
