Every now and then we come across a website that we would like to share with our visitors for for shopping, as a technical resource, or because it is simply fascinating:
The Sleevehead is a fascinating blog with a view of clothes that is a blend of equal parts beautiful clothing and a thoughtful commentary on the future. I usually talk to the gentlemen who writes the blog about clothes but we always end up talking about technology and how it changes our lives.

"The gentlemen members of the London Lounge agree to defend, preserve and perpetuate the cultural heritage embodied in the sartorial arts for future generations. Each member will use his energy, skill and education to render comprehensible the virtues of true elegance and good taste to those who seek advice and counsel. The parameters that define good taste are appreciated within these walls as liberating and not restrictive." A friendly and relaxed environment at the The London Lounge reviews many aspects of sartorial elegance. My favorite part of which is the fabric descriptions. Michael Alden very gently and politely keeps the information flowing along. |
"For several years I have been picking NFL games against the spread and doing pretty well (around 56 percent over 12 years or so). Doing pretty well, that is, as long as I don’t put any actual money down. Once that happens, all is lost. And of course we all know that gambling on sporting events is illegal in most circumstances, and that gambling in general is a pox and a blight, unless the racket is controlled by the state and the proceeds, at least for public consumption, are earmarked for education. At this point gambling ceases to be a vice and becomes sound fiscal policy." Patrick L. Sullivan is rumored to be a talented fisherman and sports writer, but the truth is that he is an entertaining and witty observer of life with a slightly warped sense of humor.
