coincidence?

I read this article in Breathe magazine written by Tucker Shaw about how he documented every meal he ate in 2004. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Religiously documented. I love this kind of thing, the cataloging of the mundane, cumulatively adding up to a portrait of a person or place or time. I am also quite impressed with the discipline and dedication an exercise like this represents.

So tonight I'm randomly searching new websites and I check out this site for the British design firm Howdy. One of the sections on the site is called Neil's Meals, which turns out to be his documentation of every meal he ate in 2004 (lot's of curry to be exact, in contrast to Tucker's penchant for hotdogs, eggs and waffles). Do these guys know each other? This can't be a coincidence.
