Musings on visualization, photography, programming, etc. that are too long for Twitter but too short for (or don't fit) my visualization website, EagerEyes.org. Part of my vanity website, kosara.net, which is most notable for hosting my list of publications.

I’m looking for some cool summer shoes for playing rad sports. These are pretty nice, what do you guys think?

They look a bit weird perhaps, but are actually a good idea. See the link I posted some time ago to some recent research that says that high-tech shoes that provide a lot of cushioning may not even be such a good idea: they don’t reduce injuries, because they weaken our feet and lower legs. Nike also has a new line of shoes called Nike Free that are “like wearing no shoes.”
