knowledge vs research skills
It seems Jeremy and I are not the only ones who excel in ability to find information rather than stored knowledge..
Really, that's great.. all this time I thought I was alone with my dirty, little secret!

Personally, I think having the ability to find answers is better than having the ability to simply remember them. Is this the difference between intelligence and knowledge?

I worship at the altar of Google too. ;) Memorization is overrated.

I feel better after reading this entry and Jeremy's one, happens to me all the time, "hey you know a lot!!" and I think to myself well thanks to google.
So let's light some more candles at the altar of google :)

It's great to see that I'm not the only developer with his 'secret' :-)
The 'information lookup skill' is a very important in today's world IMHO.
Luckily I've always had quite some talent for it since I learned to read ;-)
