This Digitized Society: The Minority Report Influence

digitizedsociety:

Over that past few years we’ve seen that Minority Report’s gesture based computer interface grabbed the minds of geeks around the world. We now have the Microsoft Kinect , LEAP for Mac, and fog projection with Displair.

Another piece of tech that was interesting was the retina…

dressing from the shoes up: part 1

i don’t normally try the blazer & shorts thing, in fact i don’t often do the shorts thing at all (though you could never tell with legs so ‘jersey bronzed’), but i wanted to stretch myself after i received these unique Florsheims.

I had been a little on the fence about the noticeable metal buckle but a few seconds after pulling them from the box i knew they’d become one of my favorite pairs. just after the break in process. that came a bit quicker than expected because the process was about 35 seconds. soft suede on the upper and a really nice padded foot with light weight rubber sole. a sleek sharp & comfortable warm weather and transitional loafer.

dressing from the shoes up: part II

party up top, business down low.

theres a certain appeal to the jeans & t shirt look. its easy, its comfortable and its - well it’s easy and comfortable. the simplicity and casual vibe of this look leave a surprising amount of room for anything and everything else.

when you cross a guy whose taking this route (assuming it all fits), theres not much hesitation. your eyes don’t spend time inspecting the seams of the t shirt or edge of the denim. but this look caters to the accessories - in my case some nice new shoes & a denim wrist tie.

this is my second pair of Florsheim Veblens and i know they can really take a beating, so i’m wasting no time this summer doing just that. i opted for a slightly different color this time around because i’ve been wanting to try out the versatility of gray shoes.

An excerpt from latest footwear review.
“The Veblen shoe wouldn’t be complete without it’s longwing design, which is the icing on the cake.. unless you like cake without its icing, weirdo. Starting from the heel, the longwing design glides along both sides meeting at the toe box exploding, forming to what it seems to be an owl faced character . Wait for it …..*hoot hoot*. Quadruple stitched isn’t as common as it should be in the world of footwear, but Florsheim seems to offer it on all of their wingtip designs even with such a low retail price, that’s not only outstanding but also impressive!”
