Shoe leather for the Gov

Shoe leather for the Gov 01/03/2004 05:53 PM
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...

Vaja Leather PSP Case

Vaja Leather PSP Case 06/22/2005 01:58 AM

When it comes to cases, you have a number of equations to consider. First and foremost there is the ratio of usefulness to fashion. Plotted on an X/Y graph, we can place many cases into one of four quadrants. While a burlap sack would score high on the usefulness scale, it would score poorly on the fashion, thereby placing it in the "Crappy but Cheap" quadrant. A skinned sewer rat, still slightly fresh, would score poorly on both scales and would end up in the "Wha?" quadrant. I would place this leather PSP high on fashion and low on usefulness, depending on your personal sense of style. Let's call it the "Lindsay Lohan" quadrant.

The Vaja case aka the Console Suit, is an applied leather hard case that conforms perfectly to the PSP. The resulting amalgamation of dead cow and portable electronics costs $180 and allows the well-dressed fan of 1.5 firmware to match their shoulder bag, shoes, and game gear.

Noreve Leather Case for PSP

Noreve Leather Case for PSP 04/12/2005 07:44 AM

Noreve is releasing one of their leather cases for the Sony PSP and it looks quite nice. The tri-fold cover has a velvet-lined inside, with pockets for a single UMD disc and two MemoryStick Duo. It's designed to allow you to play while leaving the cover on, but it does look like it could get a little 'flappy.' It should be available in about a week for €45.90.

Am I the only one that looks at these images and wonders how much the photographers' assistants must hate the PSP and its fingerprint-prone screen?

iPod mini Ostrich Leather Case

iPod mini Ostrich Leather Case 03/19/2005 02:45 AM

We know it's a plight iPod and iPod mini owners alike suffer from: what exotic or psuedo-exotic animal flesh or furs can we adorn our sacred pods with? Well, we're nothing if not keen to further the awareness of such products as the Piel Frama Ostrich Leather Case for your iPod mini. The "luxurious and unusual ostrich leather case" is $95 but currently out of stock at iPodWorld. Rest assured, when they find another pack (gaggle?) of half-buried birds, they'll be selling in no time. It comes with a removable belt clip and has room for two credit cards, for when you find a more interesting beast to blanket your mini in.

Leather Vaja HA42 Case for Treo 600 06/10/2004 09:52 AM

Is it just me, or does this Vaja HA42 case sort of make the Treo 600 look like Batman? For $55, the leather custom casing is not a bad way of keeping your smartphone in crime fighting shape. And like the Dark Knight himself, it has ample secret compartments for storing all your special gear (as long as that gear is a couple of SD cards and some money). Whining Dog (once a mild-mannered product reviewer until a tragic intersection between a tanker full of toxic sludge and Bestiality Anonymous meeting) has the review.

b) they harbor diseases.

“Fear West Nile no more. A new line of clothes from Seattle-based Ex Officio is engineered to repel insects. The EPA-approved apparel - created in partnership with Buzz Off Insect Shield, a Greensboro, N.C., company - is treated with permethrin, a pesticide that occurs naturally in the chrysanthemum plant but can also be created synthetically. ‘It gives mosquitoes a skull- crushing headache,’ says Ex Officio’s Rick Hemmerling.”

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.
