Posted on October 1, 2009 | No CommentsAndrés Iniesta is a good footballer. Cesc Fàbregas is a good footballer. Need I say more? Yes, actually, I do for it to make sense here. Nike has some fancy new soccer boot that's it's launching aside an interactive digital training tool that you can use on a Web site, or on your iPhone or iPod touch. Very exciting.

Apple brings back Newton designer, defines irony
Posted on September 28, 2009 | No Comments
That fact that Apple has rehired Michael Tchao, one of the original Newton developers, is likely to stir up stories and posts about the Apple tablet. But the man has had a storied past in the CE field and Apple might have brought him back on board after a 15 year hiatus just because of his impressive resume. Or they need help on the Apple tablet marketing. Actually, that's probably exactly why Apple needs him back.

I Want To Kill Maude Flanders With Nike’s T-Shirt Gun
Posted on July 8, 2009 | No CommentsThere are few things in life more satisfying than using compressed air to fire textiles at high velocities. Before security confiscated it, we used a t-shirt cannon in the Wired office to destroy overhead lights, bruise butt cheeks, and keep interns in line. Terrorizing co-workers aside, Nike’s T-Shirt gun is essentially geek nirvana for those [...] -
T-shirt gun listed on Nike’s website for $1500
Posted on July 8, 2009 | No CommentsWho hasn’t been at a sporting event and wished for one of those T-shirt cannons? Nike is “selling” the Nike T-shirt Gun seen in the above video for just $1500.

Video: Parkour With Robots
Posted on June 30, 2009 | No CommentsThis (fake) Nike ad is all kinds of awesome, but the thing that strikes me is that even parkour-busting robots wear hoodies, which appear to be the free-runner’s uniform.

Nike+iPod gets repurposed as wireless key fob
Posted on May 27, 2009 | No Comments
Got a Nike+iPod kit laying around but not doing much exercising with it? Then you might want to follow the lead of SparkFun's Nate, who took the device and turned it into a decidedly non-exercise minded wireless key fob -- or iFob, as Nate has dubbed it. That, as you might expect, isn't exactly a completely straightforward process, and also involves putting an Arduino Pro Mini into the mix, not to mention a bit of minor surgery to both your car and your car's original key fob. If that doesn't scare you off, however, you can find the complete instructions and plenty of helpful pics at the link below, although you're on your own if you want to build something that actually starts your car.
