I'm a bit obsessed with accuracy in my watches, not necessarily in them being very accurate (I appreciate it when they are, but wouldn't necessarily pay for them to be regulated), but in knowing how accurate they are. I used to use a very basic method of checking and recording accuracy - timing them against my solar atomic G-Shock at the same time each day and then making a note of the deviation in Evernote or Google Keep.

After seeking information from the AD I plan to buy my Breitling from, they've quoted me 15% below msrp and no tax. That changes my numbers somewhat: Darn, that only gave me 1%! Oh well, better than nothing. Won't be getting any donation money this week due to this cold/whatever. At least the weekly payment went down.

Other well known craftsman will be there, but the website does a poor job of telling you who will be there. That said, it is only eight bucks and ...
Since it’s National Poetry Month (no, I’m not crazy, you mean you didn’t know?) I thought I’d post one of these blog entries about my favorite poet. And then I realized that I don’t really have one. On the surface, the task seemed simple and straightforward. But after some consideration, I realized that to pick a poet was no easy task. And the reason’s not because I adore scores of poets or that my collection is so expansive, but because I find it difficult to define what poetry is. At times I’ll ...
