I had a pair of Simple Shoes back in my skater heyday. In a time when skate sneakers were moving more and more toward Nike-esque styling with large toe guards and bell-flavored whistles, Simple lived up to their name and stuck with basic, suede skate shoes. I was surprised to see an article pointing at the little company today advocating their greener side.
Much like Blackspots, Simple Shoes are made from things like recycled tires and water-based glues, but unlike Blackspots, Simple comes with a variety of styles, everything from the Chuck Taylory styles of their Women’s Satire shoes to the casual loafers you’ll find in the men’s department, and a good chunk of the “in-between.” They even have shoes for kids!
These guys’ll definitely be at the top of the list for the next round of footstuffs the boy and I go through.

This is the online corner of my life, where I combine syllables, contemplate molecules, confront the issues confronting us all, and generally talk about transit and bikes. (more)

Here's what I listen to: (?)
I use Last.fm's Mac Menu Bar Scrobbler, which builds an RSS feed out of whatever I'm playing in iTunes. If you think it's as nifty as I do, check out Last.fm and if we seem to have similar taste, feel free to make me your friend. :)

Here's what I've done lately: (?)
I use Twitter to help me keep track of the things I do in life that I find enjoyable. For example, if I go for a bike ride or take a walk with my family, I just make a quick note. That way, if I'm ever feeling like life's lacking, I can just get a little reminder.

- spent the day wandering around the University of Texas and bought himself a python-skinned bracelet. Seriously, that's tough. 9 Nov 2008 18:50
- is realizing that he'll still have 2 boiled eggs on toast and coffee this morning, just like yesterday. Where is this CHANGE I was promised? 5 Nov 2008 11:17
- is headed to his local eatery to partake of Election Night festivities with his family. Obamanation! 4 Nov 2008 19:55
