Cameron&#8217;s view of the world is EXACTLY THE SAME AS MINE. I briefly asked myself: do I have a split personality, and does my other personality have a website of its own? It is possible that when I think I&#8217;m sleeping, I&#8217;m actually awake as &#8220;Charles Cameron,&#8221; busily saying the same things Jonathan Schwarz does? Or is it the other way around, and when Charles Cameron goes to sleep he transforms into &#8220;Jonathan Schwarz&#8221;? And&#8230; is either one of us a superhero?<\/p>\n<p>I then discovered the strangest thing of all. It turns out that unbeknownst to me (or &#8220;me&#8221;), Cameron was already aware of this website, and had linked to it twice.<\/p>\n<p>So I recommend Cameron&#8217;s site. I myself look forward to following it and his work. But he better not start hitting on my girlfriend, because she might like him exactly the same amount as me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It seems Jonathan Schwartz is still tracking &#8220;side by side&#8221; quotes and images, just as I&#8217;m still tracking &#8220;DoubleQuotes&#8221;.
