I think his twitter feed @tomstandage is very interesting. He's kind of the cool uncle who knows about lots of fun things going on. He's written a number of books like "History of the Worlds in 6 glasses", which I enjoyed.

He plays the drums, and he is (or at least was the last time I checked) in charge of the "back half" of the Economist. (The part after the news.)
