William Gibson Quotes

That Cory Doctorow piece had a quote from William Gibson:

The street finds its own use for things.
That bothered me, because it reminded me of a quote Tim O'Reilly cited last week, and I couldn't remember if it was the same quote.

Turns out it wasn't. Digging though my archive of memorable URLs, I found this link, which I must have come across through the fsb list. Here's the Gibson quote Tim used:

The future is here. It's just not evenly distributed yet.
I wanted to make mention of the quote Tim used in my previous journal entry, but had the hardest time finding that article -- it's not listed on the index of Tim's blogs. Quite frustrating. What's even more frustrating is not knowing if this is intentional (a blog entry that's not supposed to be on the general index), or unintentional (an indexing error that fails to pick up this particular entry, and possibly a others...)
