Bloggers also synthesize, like librarians do - make connections between various seemingly unrelated things. Have you read Orson Scott Card's novella about the librarians of Trantor, based on the Foundation series? It's what made me want to be a librarian. These librarians sift through endless online data, clicking on whatever looks interesting, and forging connections between things, essentially adding meta-data about the connection they made - in other words, blogging, only without the individual posts. It sounds like the coolest job ever.

Gnomic Utterances. These are traditional, and are set at the head of each section of the Guidebook. The reason for them is lost in the mists of History. They are culled by the Management from a mighty collection of wise sayings probably compiled by a SAGE—probably called Ka’a Orto’o—some centuries before the Tour begins. The Rule is that no Utterance has anything whatsoever to do with the section it precedes. Nor, of course, has it anything to do with Gnomes.
