Images) 07/16/2004 08:46 AM

Reader Lee Crane sent me images of the DC/Incase Skatebag, the backpack announced yesterday designed specifically for Powerbooks and iBooks, although I have a sneaking suspicion that you could even put a gnarly PC laptop in there just fine. It's not skatepunk-priced, though -- this plasticy camo bag will set you back $120. Guess it's time to start gleaming the pube, you little boarding bastards.

MacMinute has a little write-up, too, including a picture of the DC/Incase iPod/iPod mini sleeves, as well.

Has anybody seen any pictures of this DC/Incase Skatebag that they intend to sell at Apple (it's got a place for a Powerbook, iPod, and skateboard). I'd like to get a couple for the skate-rat commune that lives on my block right before I torch their building.

Cute InCase iPod Mini Sleeves

Cute InCase iPod Mini Sleeves 09/22/2004 10:19 AM

Not much detail beyond the pictures, but it looks like InCase (the same people that make the iPod skateboard bag) is prepping new sleeves for the iPod mini. I could do without the one with the flames, but the turntable case is pretty ingenius. I'm surprised that hasn't been done that already. (Thanks, Ken!)

Gawker's new editor Jessica Coen points out these little hoodie iPod cases from a little boutique called "C.Ronson" located somewhere in a district called "Nolita" in a town she says is named "Manhattan." And then she started puking, and I don't know why. When former Gawker editor Anna Wintour Choire Sicha was puking, we always knew it was time to force feed him a donut and hide his needles, but now I'm just lost.

So, try a donut, Jessica! From the look of his desk, Choire always seemed to like the powdered ones.

Some of the cases, from the likes of Louis Vuitton, Dior Homme, and Gucci, are okay, if surprisingly plain, but Kate Spade's fuchsia mock-crocodile leather case with brass accents and Paul Smith's colorful stripes look like a lot more fun - and are almost affordable, at $55 and $115 each (I said almost).

Of shoes and meat

Of shoes and meat 07/28/2004 06:17 AM

« Welcome to Missouri, land of meat and shoes! »

One of the most impressive things about Finns is their grasp of geography, well, at least all the ones I know seem to know far more detail about the planet we inhabit than any other people I've ever met, which is a dramatic contrast to Americans who seem to have some difficulty placing their own country on a political map of the world. If you read Finnish, you'll get a good chuckle out of Peter Elk's [Finnish expat living in NYC] look at an old geography book and it's descriptions of US states. If you don't read Finnish, well, the summary is that some of the state descriptions are pretty hilarious.

Missouri, for example, is the "Meat and Shoe State". I mean, Missouri, land of the Ozarks and home of the 'throwed[sic] roll', evokes the image of meat and shoes? Lambert's does have really great rolls if you remember to duck and their iced tea is served in giant mason jars with free refills, too. I kept trying to imagine of a reason why anyone on the planet would think of shoes and meat when describing Missouri. And then it dawned on me....Missouri! The Sho[e]-Me[at] State! Someone in Finland heard Shoe-Meat instead of Show-Me! Of course! :) The slogan has been in use for a long, long time and has a somewhat interesting origin.

The most widely known legend attributes the phrase to Missouri's U.S. Congressman Willard Duncan Vandiver, who served in the United States House of Representatives from 1897 to 1903. While a member of the U.S. House Committee on Naval Affairs, Vandiver attended an 1899 naval banquet in Philadelphia. In a speech there, he declared, "I come from a state that raises corn and cotton and cockleburs and Democrats, and frothy eloquence neither convinces nor satisfies me. I am from Missouri. You have got to show me." Regardless of whether Vandiver coined the phrase, it is certain that his speech helped to popularize the saying.

Other versions of the "Show-Me" legend place the slogan's origin in the mining town of Leadville, Colorado. There, the phrase was first employed as a term of ridicule and reproach. A miner's strike had been in progress for some time in the mid-1890s, and a number of miners from the lead districts of southwest Missouri had been imported to take the places of the strikers. The Joplin miners were unfamiliar with Colorado mining methods and required frequent instructions. Pit bosses began saying, "That man is from Missouri. You'll have to show him."

However the slogan originated, it has since passed into a different meaning entirely, and is now used to indicate the stalwart, conservative, noncredulous character of Missourians.

Well, in all honesty, Missouri did have the Brown Shoe Company in St. Louis and the enormous stockyards in Kansas City [in Missouri in spite of the name] back before it became better known for Budweiser Beer and John Ashcroft. I think the new state slogan should read, "Missouri! We're real sorry about Ashcroft!" Or, maybe, "Missouri! Getting dumb sports fans drunk since 1906!" Missouri does have a few redeeming qualities like Mark Twain, Chuck Berry and Vincent Price. It's home, but as Mark Twain so wisely quipped, "Familiarity breeds contempt..." I will henceforth refer to it as the "Shoe-Meat State". :)

Because it's July [read everything is closed for summer holiday and I'm bored] and I'm, of course, far more entertained by state slogans than anyone probably should be, I'll offer a more honest selection of state slogans for the easily amused. They're notoriously bad and ridiculed all over the US [65k pdf] for being the product of horrible PR wonks.

• Alabama: Wonder Full ∴ Wonderful? Alabama? "Yes, we have indoor plumbing."
• Alaska: Beyond Your Dreams, Within Your Reach ∴ "Screwing the environment for your SUV"

• Iowa: Come Be Our Guest ∴ "Iowa! Be our guest as you surely won't stay!"
• Indiana: Enjoy Indiana ∴ It used to be "Wander Indiana" which had TV spots with an empty car toodling around the state which gave you the [realistic] impression that the state put you to sleep. "Indiana! Enjoy our dullness!"

Medium Footwear's collection of new shoe designs look pretty cool. They seem right about midway between skate shoe and hipster shoe to me (tending towards hip for the sake of being hip), which is what I'm currently liking in my shoes.

I'd point to my favorite shoe designs, but their assy flash interface doesn't let me link directly to them.

« One of the five bright blue towers of the 110 kV Salmisaari-Meilahti power line that crosses the seurasaarenselkä that are collectively called "Antti's Footsteps" in honor of their designer, Antti Nurmesniemi. Look at the tiny little people on the right for a sense of scale. [They were named from a HE contest with 1,496 entries and the winner receiving 5000 kWh of electricity for a year. The finalists were: Sinijätit, Johtokurki, Hattiwatit, Meritoverit (sea friends), Seireenit (sirens), Stadin Eiffelit (Eiffels of the city), Sinilinja (blue line), Sinimastot (blue masts), Virtaviivat (blood line) and Antin askeleet (Antti's footsteps).] »

Helsinki Energy seems to go out of it's way to make power plants look good as though people might notice, and perhaps blame them, that the Baltic is still so polluted that it's not recommended to eat Baltic fish more than once a week or the layer of smoggy gritty haze over the city today if they didn't sex them up a bit. As though they might be saying, "Yes, this is a coal fired power plant but, hey, aren't these lovely blue power lines beautiful?" Sure, they say the plants are ultra clean but the people they're saying that to probably don't live next to the strip mine somewhere with cheap labour and no pretty blue pylons. Energy production is with rare exception a dirty, ugly business that we'd all like to pretend that we don't participate in and depend on utterly each and every day. I look at those blue giants daily and I'm reminded of the lengths we will go in our own self-deceptions and how we are so willing to be fooled. We are energy junkies.

How Much Computing Will You Wear In Your
Shoes? 05/06/2004 01:32 AM
Forget gimmicky tricks like the "air pump" in the tongue or blinking lights on the back of sneakers, now companies like Adidas are working on "smart" shoes that include sophisticated sensors, a microprocessor and an electric motor to monitor how the shoe is responding to whatever the wearer is doing and adjust the shoe on the fly. That is, if the compression of the base of the shoe is too soft or too hard, it will adjust to make it better, lessening the wear and tear on a runner's knees. Like those blinking lights on shoes that are popular with kids, it appears this sneaker will come with some blinking lights too - but they'll serve a purpose: displaying the "settings" of your sneakers. This may be the first shoe that needs its own CD-ROM instruction manual. Don't think shoe technology ends here, either. This is just the start of where some people see these smart shoes going. Some are even predicting that, for all the hype about wearable computing, the best place to put such processing power is in the shoe.
