We used to have to take time off from work --or at least leave work early-- to watch the Olympics on TV. Now we can thank the engineering marvels of DVR and web replay for protecting our love affair with the Games from our evil work schedules. We are, rightly, mesmerized by the combination of talent, discipline, skill, and genetics embodied by the world’s greatest athletes.

I heard the oddest story about the Nike Just Do It campaign the other day. Apparently 'Just Do It' was inspired by the final words of killer Gary Gilmore, 'Let's do it' - before he was shot by firing squad in 1970s Utah. Adman Dan Wieden of Wieden+Kennedy changed the 'Let's' to 'Just' to give it better emphasis. "I'm sure they didn't want anyone to know that that was the genesis of the

Even if you don’t care about football shoes, this Nike commercial provides good entertainment value. Montreal-based filmmaker Patrick Boivin (of Iron Man vs. Bruce Lee fame) directed the stop motion spot starring a marionette version of footballer Andrés Iniesta. Aardman produced the animation, South Korea’s Coolrain created the figures, and Wieden+Kennedy (London) was the agency.

This is what I found when I was out walking today. (It would have been a run, except I seem to have screwed up something - groin, IT band, quads - it's not happy.)



A feather with an orange quill. I think it might be from a flicker. I picked it in case Teen wanted to make it into an earring.

A dime. I always like finding money. It says In God We Trust on it. It's a reminder we'll be okay. I've been waiting for a big check for nearly a month now.

A Just Do It keychain fob, identical to the one I carry. It's getting harder and harder to find these, since the campaign was in 1988, 23 years ago. I have an alert for them on ebay, but they only come up a couple of times a year. I've lost a couple myself over the years, so maybe this one is just coming full circle. (The key with the pink circle was my father's house key. He died in 2003.)
