Yesterday was the biggest day ever at That's How, as almost 700 of you poured in, mostly from Kottke, to enjoy this post from Tuesday. Welcome strangers, feel free to look around and dig about in the archives.Last night's documentary on the Nike x Harris Tweed Terminator Low was brilliant stuff. They showed a lone weaver in a Scottish croft, struggling to meet an order for 20 metres of tweed. On a fateful day in May, Nike approved designs for their new tweed shoe, and he suddenly received an email order from Nike in Beaverton, for 9.5km of tweed. The shoe should be out this week, buy it and secure the future of Harris.And in a mini-trainer round up: Newson is getting a Zvezdochka exhibit at the Design Museum from Saturday; the daily snkr is a dope french sneaker blog; and sneaker freak (not to be confused with sneaker freaker) is like flickr for sneaker-heads.A great guide to The Chewbacca Defense as a meme. (via)The Micro-Claymore is the ingenious winner of the Office Bricolage contest.Niche blogging is the new eclectic blogging, as Regret the Error devote themselves solely to newspaper mistakes.Lunar Mouse House is a neat flash game, similar to Moon Lander or Thrust, but played in tunnels. Retro fun.The eBay auction for unwanted wedding invites, that is so funny, it got its own article in The Guardian:"The bride's best mate works in a chippy in Colchester, and they always used to go boozing in Stoke with her aunt who I seem to remember had a penchant for DKNY tracksuits, Pineapple Bacardi Breezers and cafe creme."
£1041 seems like a bargain to share such a culturally rich experience with four friends.
