Adidas has wowed us before with not one but two pairs of shoes that incorporate hemp, and it looks as though they're innovating again. The Adidas BW Army is made from surplus military materials (though they're tightlipped about the source...must still be classified); the use of repurposed material makes each pair unique. Product Dose found a similar deal a year ago, with a limited run of 500 pairs, so there's no telling how long they'll last. Repurposed camo shoes don't come cheaply, though; each pair goes for $115, available at ::Coolest Shop via ::Product Dose

Photograph by James L. Stanfield Anchor of old Paris, L'Arc de Triomphe frames a parade on Bastille Day. Celebrating the Great Revolution, the French take to the streets for a day-long party every July 14th, the anniversary of the day Parisians took the Bastille, beheaded the governor, and emptied the jail in the name of "Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity."(Text adapted from and photograph shot on assignment for, but not published in, "The New, the Enduring Paris," July 1989, National Geographic magazine)

I love good food and I love to eat, and I sure do appreciate someone who can conjure up words that do justice to either and that's why I look forward to Fatted Calf's weekly email newsletter. An excerpt from this week's:

The drama continues this weekend when notoriously good Knoll Farm Figs are carefully encased in a petite boule of our sausage and then gingerly stuffed up the rump of a plump, brined Hoffman Farm Quail. These lusty concoctions are gorgeous when roasted and positively sing when grilled. Plunge in your fork and witness the hot figgy lava flow onto your plate beckoning you with its honeyed perfume to take a bite.

Bravo, little Fig!

See what I'm talking about?

Reitman did Ghostbusters and Shivers, but what’s Arnie ever done that’s any good?  Oh yeah, Predator. This isn’t a finest moment for either of them, as Arnie cashes in his man-mountain image to make this not that hilarious or heart-warming family flick. In fact, it’s a weirdly judged film – along with all the “I want to be a princess!” and “Four-score and ten” cuteness you get a murdered junkie girlfriend on a morticians slab.

Pamela Reed, who plays Arnie’s puking and eating sidekick Detective Phoebe O'Hara is good in this – but didn’t go on to do a whole lot more outside of the voice of Ruth Powers in the Simpsons.

Why was the central kid played by twins? And why was he seemingly OK about meeting his mum's new boyfriend shooting his long lost dad the moment he turns up? My son seemed to think it was reasonable. To me, this is the kind of movie that demands a sequel. By now, he’d be in his early twenties, properly psychotic (did no one else find that silver foil stuff a glaring omen of mental illness?). Maybe he's even worked out that there’s two of him.

The scariest person in the whole film is Eleanor Crisp’s evil, uptight mother – played by Carroll ‘Baby Doll Meighan’ Baker. it’s predictable to see the cause of the problem being traced back to the unloving mother, but even that old chestnut can't stop the chill of seeing a women buy an anal thermometer in preparation of welcoming her grandson back into the family.

Discovery finds itself in the unexpected position of racing to save face, instead of to replace Lance with lots of explaining to do. Besides being critical and saying, "don't believe your own hype" or podcast, I'd like to know what happened in the team dynamic to have them perform so poorly when there's so much promise on that team.

Note, I don't want them to do bad, and I know there are fans in a deep funk right now (like mine over Jan, which is getting worse), but I'm reminded of Fortune's Pack Mentality article that analyzed the peloton's org chart and team-crew symbiosis. Are they reeling because no one is in charge, like a ship without a rudder, or troops without a general?

It's all very well being hooked on Sudoku, but when do we have time to do these addictive puzzles in our busy lives? When are we sitting down alone, with our hands free and nothing too taxing to do with our brains? You can see where we're going with this. If you're tired of leafing through cartoon books you've read a hundred times, but would like something to while away the time while you sit contemplating the back of the loo door, then Sudoku Loo Roll is quite possibly the answer.

You may have seen some of the media coverage generated by a blogger's quoting Eric Schmidt about click fraud. By using select excerpts and ignoring the context of the remarks, that blog post made for an interesting read, but was unfortunately misleading.

Eric spoke at a SIEPR economics event at Stanford in March. At the end of his remarks he took questions. (You can view the whole presentation and Q&A that followed here.)

Here's the relevant question Eric was asked about click fraud: "Recently there’s been some talk about click fraud being a potential threat to the entire advertising business model. I was just wondering what your thoughts on that were and if there’s an economic solution to it more than just technical solutions."

Eric made clear from the very beginning that he wasn't describing our approach to click fraud and was answering hypothetically. He introduced his answer by saying: "Let’s imagine for purposes of argument that click fraud were not policed by Google and it were rampant ..."

The "let it happen" excerpt followed, in which he discusses the economic forces that can retard click fraud: "Eventually the price that the advertiser is willing to pay for the conversion will decline because the advertiser will realize that these are bad clicks. In other words, the value of the ad declines. So, over some amount of time, the system is, in fact, self-correcting. In fact, there is a perfect economic solution, which is to let it happen."

But he made clear that we don't take that approach, by adding that click fraud is "a bad thing and because we don’t like it, and because it does, at least for the short-term, creates some problems before the advertiser sees it, we go ahead and try to detect it and eliminate it." He also said, "In Google's case, we worry about this a lot and we have a number of technical engineers who think that this is great fun to try to go ahead of this and get ahead of it."

The fact is that Google strives to detect every invalid click that passes through its system, and to prevent those clicks from ever reaching an advertiser's account. And Eric and many others at Google have discussed the problem of invalid clicks publicly many times -- on our quarterly earnings calls, at our Press Day, and in other places, such as blogs. Anyone who has followed Google knows that Eric, and others at Google, have stated several times that Google fights invalid clicks, that we've devoted significant resources to manage it, and that we take it very seriously.

Update: Added link to the original story.

If you have $135 to burn, check out the South Street Seaport's stunning four-hour tugboat waterfront tour. Participants will board at the Seaport, visit Newtown Creek then head down the East River beneath the Williamsburg Bridge to the Brooklyn Navy Yard, the Atlantic and Erie Basins, then around Governor's Island and back to Manhattan. Why the expense, you ask? The W.O. Decker tugboat holds a limited number of passengers (6-8) and each fare pays directly for the operation of the boat. Reservations for this event are required and you must be 12 or over to participate. Trip leaves from Pier 16 at 10 AM tomorrow — Saturday, July 15. Call 212-748-8786 for details.

If you had told me a couple of years ago that a renowned New York gallery was going to begin breaking down the walls of the traditional gallery "curate and exhibit" experience, I would have been more than a little suspect.

Last week, I posted about, Sketching in Hardware 1, a conference I organized. Now, I'd like to comment on an issue that has come up at other tech conferences and which came up again at sketching - the disproportionate demographics. Specifically, the disproportionate ratio of men to women who attend conferences, relative to the proportion of people working in the field. During the planning of this conference, I talked to a number of people about how to attract more women to technology conferences. My goal was to create as gender-balanced an invitation list as I could manage. I sought input from a broad range of folks (thank you Molly,Anne, Liz, Julian,Rael, Judith and everyone else I've consulted with). The conference focus was to bring together developers of toolkits for rapid prototyping of physical/ubiquitous computing devices, or heavy users of such toolkits. With that as the primary gating criteria, I tried to invite a broad range of people, especially women, across a range of career trajectories (i.e. I didn't want to stick with established professors and professional engineers, but PhD students, researchers, artists, educators and designers, managers). I spent several months collecting lists, using Google and working my social network (i.e....

We’ve discussed the various possible forms of constrained writing many times here, so why not ‘constrained clicking’? I was referred to a blog collective, TruthBeauty, from a out-of-the-ways town in Australia, Wagga Wagga, and discovered a post by ‘casey’ about a great wikipedia game. Here is the post reblogged here:

over the school holidays my dear son Zach discovered the joys of wikipedia (thanks in no small part to my new laptop). he sent me an email today outlining his new wikipedia game: from the wikipedia main page click on random article - from there follow links till you get to the wagga wagga article.  

i made it the first time in five pages: Mohammed Bin Hammam - Australia National Football (Soccer) Team - Australia - New South Wales - Wagga Wagga.

too easy, hey?  my next random article is On Golden Pond and proving to be a little trickier.

how many pages can you make it in?

There are a few comments in the post, as everyone compares the routes they’ve taken through wikipedia in search of THE WAGGA WAGGA PAGE. This reminded me not only of constrained writing (and so I called it constrained clicking) but also of games I used to play (with myself) as a kid. I used to pick an object, like a parrot, and another, like tomato sauce, and give myself a number, like 5, which represented the amount of sentences I should take to get from object a to object b with a story that makes sense. Anyone have any examples of such games they played or even other examples of ‘constrained clicking’?

Harkness A/V is an ongoing collaborative Audio/Visual salon organized by Nick Hallett and Monkeytown, an art space and restaurant in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. On Friday July 21st, they will present an evening of works by renowned computer artist Lillian Schwartz and up-and-coming San Francisco-based video artist, Nate Boyce. Schwartz pioneered the field of computer-generated art beginning in the late 1960s, and her experimentations have served to legitimate the practice. While Schwartz utilized nascent computer technologies to establish a canonical aesthetic for the field, Boyce uses newish computer programs, such as Jitter and Maya, to recall the style of early video art. Side by side, the combination of these artists offers an interesting contrast between two generations of computer-produced art, between an era in which the present once aimed to foretell the future, and the future now aims to evoke the past. - Ceci Moss

I'm rooting for France today, but I feel that Italy has the best chance of winning. But we shall see. Allez!

Update: I'm stunned. Not so much about the loss, but Zidane...what was that? That headbutt is one of the craziest things I've ever seen in sports.

Update: Video of the headbutt. There's some speculation that Materazzi twisted Zidane's nipple...or if not, I wonder what he said that could have riled the Frenchman so?

Update: Ok, here's a video of the whole exchange. No twisting that I can see...Materazzi obviously said something. With all his experience, hasn't Zidane heard it all before?

Update: Video of some of Materazzi's dirty plays.

Update: From a 2004 profile of Zidane in the Guardian:

One of the theories about Zidane as a player is that he is driven by an inner rage. His football is elegant and masterful, charged with technique and vision. But he can still erupt into shocking violence that is as sudden as it is inexplicable. The most famous examples of this include head butting Jochen Kientz of Hamburg during a Champions League match, when he was at Juventus in 2000 (an action that cost him a five match suspension) and his stomping on the hapless Faoud Amin of Saudi Arabia during the 1998 World Cup finals (this latter action was, strangely enough, widely applauded in the Berber community as Zidane's revenge on hated Arab 'extremists').

Update: More detail on some of Zidane's past misdeeds. (thx, daniel)

Update: Zidane's agent says Zidane "told me Materazzi said something very serious to him but he wouldn't tell me what". "Zinedine didn't want to talk about it but it will all come out in the next week. He was very disappointed and sad. He didn't want it to end this way."

Update: Zidane's headbutt, now in video game format.

Update: With the help of lip readers, two UK newspapers have deciphered what Materazzi alledgedly said to Zidane to set him off.

A year ago I wrote about key bindings for switchers explaining how to make home/end and page up/down work (system wide) as most Windows users expect them to work.

Using the same key binding system we can make insertion of the various Apple-centric keyboard glyphs easy. This is useful when we want to cite a keyboard sequence like ⇧⌘V or similar.

If you look in the HTML bundle there is an Entities submenu (depicted below.) This is what I used when writing the TextMate manual, i.e. typing command and pressing tab (⇥) to get ⌘ etc.

This is fine when we are inside TextMate and writing HTML/Markdown, but when you are getting used to having the key glyphs available, the need for them tend to creep up in other applications as well.

Jacob Rus got the great idea to create a multi-stroke key binding dictionary for inserting these glyphs. The problem would normally be that there are dozens of these glyphs, and we do not have dozens of free key equivalents, but by using multi-stroke key bindings we can hide all of them behind ⌃M.

The format for multi-stroke key bindings is explained here so without further ado here is a key binding dictionary for most Apple-centric glyphs. Credits to Jacob Rus for compiling the dictionary.

You need to save the paste as ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict and then relaunch the applications for which you want this to work. If you already have a local key binding file, you need to add the bindings to this, rather than overwrite it.

Note: Key bindings only work for Cocoa applications.

Below is a table of the glyphs and their key sequence using this key binding dictionary. The logic behind the arrow glyphs is that they follow the default (emacs inspired) movement keys, i.e. forward, backward, next (down), previous (up.) As for the other glyphs, they mostly use the first letter of the glyph name, and control (⌃) is used for the “primary” glyph on that key.

Glyph	Description	Key Sequence
␣	Space	⌃M + ⌃␣
↩	Return	⌃M + ⌃E
⌅	Enter	⌃M + E
⇥	Tab	⌃M + ⌃T
⇤	Backtab	⌃M + T

From a Guardian review of Heat, Bill Buford's new book on, in part, celebrity chef Mario Batali:

Batali would play Bob Marley songs on the sound system, knowing the New York Times restaurant critic was a fan. He would berate staff who failed to recognise celebrities, who must be served first and given special treatment. To make a humble fish soup called cioppino, he would rummage through bins and chopping boards, collecting left overs (tomato pulp, carrot tops, onion skins), then price the dish at $29 and tell the waiters to sell the hell out of it or be fired. Short ribs prepared in advance, wrapped so tightly in plastic wrap and foil that they wouldn't spurt sauce if stepped on, would keep in the walk-in fridge for up to a week.

Maybe that's why a recent trip to Babbo was not the top-shelf experience we expected.
