It should rain when you canvass for a candidate. Not a downpour but enough of a drizzle that your hair is plastered to your head and your shirt never gets quite dry. And it should be cold. Glove cold. And the first person you meet should definitely not agree with you. Easy virtue isn't worth it. (Accidentally leaving your umbrella, hat, cell phone and lunch at the local campaign headquarters is purely optional, however. Sigh.) I'm home and dry now. My shoes are off and my feet are up. I feel good that I did a little tiny bit...

Iraq In My Shoe

Iraq In My Shoe 04/14/2004 02:10 AM
We need to keep something straight: the Bush administration’s adventures in Iraq have no connection to 9/11. On and on and on these suck the same breath for no reason. The question nobody has the nerve to ask is “Can you clearly explain, Mr. President, the explicit, direct relationship between the ‘War on Terror’ and our invasion and occupation of Iraq?” May I elaborate, Mr. President? Everyone’s serious about responding to 9/11....

The other shoe drops. The L.A. Times releases details from Major General Antonio M. Taguba's findings into prisoner abuse in Iraq, including evidence that convinced him that a U.S. soldier had sex with an Iraqi female.

(Can we all agree that she didn't ask for it...?)

Have You Rebooted Your Shoe Lately?

Have You Rebooted Your Shoe Lately? 03/28/2005 06:00 AM
First revealed nearl y a year ago, Adidas has finally launched its computerized running smart shoe, which will cost you a mere $250 and the constant nagging question of what will you do when it crashes on you? The shoe is designed with a microprocessor that will constantly measure the pounding you're giving the shoe and will try to adjust the cushioning to protect your knees for another day. It still seems like a fairly niche market -- but it could become much more interesting if other devices learn to make use of the spare cycles in your shoes. Think of it as bodily distributed computing.

David Pescovitz: Anonymous French guerilla artist Invader surreptitiously installs tile mosaics of classic video game characters in high-traffic spots all over Paris and other cities around the globe. In fact, I can see one from the window of my apartment! Now he's released a limited-edition sneaker with a space invader character raised in the tread, enabling the shoe to be used like a stamp. Each step in sand, mud, water, paint, wet tar, etc., leaves an imprint, scoring you points in the ongoing invasion. Li nk (via Cool Hunting)

UK shoe dumping mystery

UK shoe dumping mystery 03/17/2005 03:56 AM
David Pescovitz: Pairs of shoes are mysteriously being dumped outside a farmhouse in Lincolnshire, England. Since December, more than a dozen have shown up on the side of the road, usually on Sunday. According to the BBC, "some of the shoes are cheap, with price labels of £1.99 attached and some are more expensive designer brands."

The (Foster family who live nearby) have video footage, which shows an elderly couple driving by in a green vehicle depositing the shoes.

Mrs Foster said that although it was scary at first, she was rather hoping some of the pairs might fit.

Big Foot

Big Foot 02/07/2005 02:09 AM

« On the first night we had Otava, we were walking down the street and saw that someone had drawn a giant paw in the snow on a manhole cover. Perhaps it was a warning to small dog owners that a sasquatch, a.k.a. bigfoot, lives nearby. :) »

You know you've become a neighbourhood legend of sorts when kids you've never seen before come by the dog park on the way home and ask if the adorable furball is named Otava. He's something of a curiosity since there are so few Saints in Finland which is odd when there are so many Bernese [closely related to Saints] and Pulivari, the Saint in Aku Ankka. Some of the older kids, and adults, remember HB and start to ask if I'm the one with the other Saint and realise mid-sentence that they've not seen him for many months. He loves kids and trots up to them almost without exception and licks at their hands. Loud noises, especially the snow trucks and plows, still frighten him but I don't blame him as I'm not very fond of them myself. He has adjusted well enough now that I think it's time to have friends over to meet him finally as everyone wants to see how adorable he is at four months.

His personality is starting to manifest itself already. He's a climber. He cannot get enough of going up and down the hills in the park or diving into the big drifts of snow. The sofa has presented itself as his own personal Mt. Everest which he attempts to conquer each and every evening. Yesterday afternoon, I hid behind the door to the living room, to let him try it just once as he appeared to be looking for something in the cushions whenever he tried to scale Mt. Largesse. Through the crack between the door and the wall, I watched him wriggle his way up to the top, sniff a little, survey his domain and flop down into the cushions while letting out this loud, satisfied sigh. I suppressed the urge to laugh and walked into the room and pulled him off of the sofa. I fully expect that someday, when he's older and has full run of the house, I'll come home to find him on the sofa drinking beer, eating pizza, and surfing for porn on my laptop.

We are also convinced that he was a woodchuck in a former life since his lust for wood and paper of any kind continues; Books, paper towels, tissues, newspapers, trees/saplings and anything else containing trace amounts of wood pulp. He has not as yet figured out that the furniture is loaded with this magical tasty substance. He's housetrained, he knows how to sit, he knows how to come when called, but the cunning doesn't extend to getting the clue that all the furniture is made of wood. Of course, as soon as I utter these words he'll devour the entire dining room table in an afternoon. Well, I've always thought furniture was rather bourgeois anyway.

He is, perhaps, one of the most affectionate and well behaved puppies I've ever known. Aside from the occasional excited barking before meals, his fixation with the sofa and being reluctant to leave the house and/or the park [though he is improving], he's very attentive and happy. I happened to see a beef kidney at the market yesterday when I was out shopping and bought it since it was only a euro. I chopped it up, cooked it with some carrots and rice and gave him a bit of it with his dinner. I don't know that I've seen such a happy and contented puppy give such a look of utter love and devotion before. I think that he has decided to keep us. :)

Eight-foot NES controller

Eight-foot NES controller 03/31/2005 02:32 AM
Cory Doctorow: Gavin sez, "On Monday, we re-launched what used to be known as The Screen Savers (where we've had Xeni, Cory & Mark on as guests) as Attack of the Show! and to celebrate we created a working eight-foot Nintendo controller. The link goes to Monday's show page which has a video clip of the controller in use. The verdict is still out whether or not it's a world's record but we've got the call into the Guinness people as I type." Link (Thanks, Gavin!)
