I want to have something analogous to a really well-informed entomology professor with me at all times, only better: I want one who can hike as well as I can, and see as well as I can, but be a thousand times smarter about bugs.  That’s all I really want.  When we get that, it will be the next step, equivalent to how it was when we first got the web.  Now you computer jockeys and internet hipsters, how do I get that?
