good news for downtown memphis
"the old bridge," the harrahan bridge, is going to transform into a pedestrian / bike link between downtown memphis and west memphis, arkansas, across the mississippi river. federal funding was just approved (thanks barak) for this and for infrastructure improvements throughout the downtown area. good things are happening downtown. via via

are these shoes racist?
some internet commenters decided that these shoes are racist because of some imagined resemblance to slave shackles. they caused enough of a stink that adidas has cancelled production of the ridiculously expensive shoe, and now their fun has infringed upon my fun.
note from adidas: The design of the JS Roundhouse Mid is nothing more than the designer Jeremy Scott’s outrageous and unique take on fashion and has nothing to do with slavery. Jeremy Scott is renowned as a designer whose style is quirky and lighthearted and his previous shoe designs for adidas Originals have, for example, included panda heads and Mickey Mouse. Any suggestion that this is linked to slavery is untruthful. via
for his part, designer jeremy scott says the design is actually inspired by cartoons.
