Curious, George: Déjà Vu How often do you experience it? Does it bother you, or do you enjoy it? It never really bothered me until yesterday's David Copperfield post. The moment I saw the post, I kinda freaked out; it was the most intense case of déjà vu I have ever experienced. At first I tried to convince myself, "surely I must have read this somewhere else." But then I saw Chy's comment, and I knew that something was awry. It was as if I was living Groundhog Day... And yes, yesterday was quite a bad day for me! Why, why did my déjà vu have to involve David Copperfield!? Is this some evil mutation of the David Hasselhoff recursion??

Portrait of a Master

Much has been written about Philippe Dufour, his mastery of the craft of watchmaking, his insistence on perfection, his stubborn-ness to remain close to the art of his forebears, his open-ness to sharing with collectors and other watchmakers alike.

Open letter from Michael Moore Here

Any idea where all our helicopters are? It's Day 5 of Hurricane Katrina and thousands remain stranded in New Orleans and need to be airlifted. Where on earth could you have misplaced all our military choppers? Do you need help finding them? I once lost my car in a Sears parking lot. Man, was that a drag.

Olympic Lobbying If a proposed bill goes through, it 'will make it illegal to combine words like "games", "medals", "gold", "2012", "sponsor" or "summer" in any form of advertising.' No more "Summer Hits". No more "Gold Cards". No more bongs for heroic deeds. And the calendar will jump a year. More proof that the (say it with me) OLYMPICS has nothing to do with sport.
