Often, but not always, I interview more people than I quote in a story. And of course, people I interview tell me much more than I'm able to put into an article.
It is a sad and true fact of my job.
This week, in writing about Amazon's text crunching, I had the pleasure of speaking with Maciej Cegłowski, a former hacker who recently quit working on search engines for the humanities to become a painter.
He even built a cool little app that maps the relations between literary characters in Russian novels.
Unfortunately, in the rush to make my deadline, I couldn't figure out how to put his nuanced comments into my story.
Though my readers are poorer for not including even a mediated version of his thoughts in my story, you can find him writing about New York City's worst pizza, over at his blog, Idle Words, which so well-written I'm embarrassed to link to it from here.
