Charlie Rose is interviewing Google CEO Eric Schmidt as part of a series on innovation. Schmidt said he thinks Larry and Sergey and Gates and other tech founder types are extra smart, but distinguished from normal people by another dimension of their brains, an always-on quality making them incapable of not seeing new things.

Mark Twain
Chapter 6, Life on the Mississippi.

It's in this chapter that Clemens makes a deal with a river boat pilot to be taught the river from New Orleans to St. Louis, some 1,300 miles worth of Mississippi. It wasn't the five years I lived in St. Louis that made me like the big river's lore and history, though that augmented it. My dad has had this book on his shelf as long as I can remember. I've never read it straight through. You don't have to. It's the kind of book you can dip into, and I've done just that in little 20 minutes here, 3 hours there chunks since I was about eight.

Dabble's beta quietly opened last night 

Or at least that's when I got my e-mail. Mary Hodder's Dabble. It's a way to organize and share online media.

I'm not sure what I'd use it for, but I really like how it works. You place an "Add to Dabble" link in your browser's links toolbar. While on a page you click on the Dabble link and a frame opens, showing its discovery of the video and graphics contained on the page. No audio, it doesn't look like. You describe it and tag it, and it becomes a part of your collection. Plus you can search the collections of other users.
