Eric Bonabeau is interested in randomness and luck. (His book Swarm Intelligence has been a scientific bestseller for eight years and provided the inspiration for another bestseller, Michael Crichton's Prey.)

His demonstration of Recombination:

Sometimes, having a prepared mind means only to be human.

Steven Johnson, author, founder of proto-'zine Feed, now capturing local knowledge at Outside In. (The Providence version came up for me automatically.)

Johnson on Outside In: "City papers aren't going to cover granular news -- a new deli opening."

The takeaway meme here: "Hunch-supporting environments."
