Nike Shoxploitation
by Josh Rubin
Neo is all about urban assault. A hybrid sneaker - work boot, it's for living a rugged life on the street, but doing it in style and comfort. Timberland knows all about that-- looks like Nike is trying to get in on their game.
When you check out the Shoxploitation web site, be sure to watch the film trailer. The Shoxploitation series was crafted by the coolest cats around, Psyop.
Web House
by Josh Rubin
The London architecture firm m3 has designed a temporary living structure that can be attached to the side of a building. Perhaps a cross between the Aero Bed and a Tent Caterpillar, the Web House is meant to be an office worker's refuge between a late night meeting and an early morning presentation. We all joke about sleeping under our desks, now we really can.

State of Play II
by Josh Rubin
Carol T. Chung attended the State of Play II conference this past weekend, which was sponsored by the New York Law School and Yale Law School from Oct 28 – 30. Here's her report:
THERE IS NO SPOON – I don’t think I’ll be able to watch that movie for a long time. There was no escaping it. Even the cable channel tbs was against me Saturday night when I got home. Before the screen even came up, some ridiculous commercial break announcer was screaming out the line repeatedly like a parrot squawking for dear life. But regardless of the evil television forces that are out to get me (i.e. the syndication of a certain show, I won’t name names, with four girls in a metropolitan city), the analogy seemed absolutely fitting in regards to virtual worlds and was unavoidably impossible to shake off once Yochai Benkler (Yale School of Law) mentioned it during the Intellectual Property/Digital Property panel on Friday morning.
