ArtCopyCode by Google has collaborate with Zachary Lieberman, founder of YesYesNo, to create a “Talking Shoe” that sends data to web apps and broadcast the information through Google+ and other social media sites.The concept behind the shoe is very interesting because it connects everyday objects to advance technology for the sake of storytelling. This is a great way for a person to record workout routines or just try to stay connected to there friends with the distractions of fondling with you're phone. Although, it may need some design changes but it is very innovative to have wearable technology. Check out the first look at the "Talking Shoe" in the video below.

Trying to steer away from typical sneaker blog, I want to introduce the world to other findings i come across. Incase brand have always created many stylish and simple phone cases but they were never been the best in protection, mostly because protection is over taken by Otterbox. Incase have now introduce a whole new line of phone cases that not only looks great but can support the life of your phone. Only available at the website. Here's a glimpse of the product but there are more colors and variation to choose from.

Dave Rhea
Blogger, Dave Rhea had a special appearance in class today. He gave us a great insight on how blogging has impact journalism. Due to blogging, print news is becoming obsolete to journalism. Rhea explained that now journalists are blogging more often. I agree to that statement because blogging is a much simpler way to express ideas and thoughts without rules of medis ethics. The only thing that is holding a journalist back from telling the truth is knowing whether or not they should.
Dave Rhea defined blogging as an expression point, a place to share ideas. It is no difference from movies or songs. Blogging is rather time consuming, the only way to keep a blog interesting is to be creative. The creativity derives from the types of storytelling you present. Rhea explain that you should tell a story in 3 different ways: text, video, and audio. This will give the readers many outlets to interpret the story and keeps the readers interested.
Even though my blog is less about story and more about information, I do consider all of those media outlets to deliver my post. Rhea has given me much inspiration to write blog post with a new state of mind. Given my post a tad bit of new and creative ways to deliver content.

The video takes place in London where the two meet to discuss about a sneaker. This video will give you an insight on the conversation that goes on while discussing design for a sneaker.

To be a better blogger
ProBlogger
ProBlogger gave a great insight on how to make my blog look better. The advice that stood out was grouping ideas. The posts that I write are usually descriptions of products, so making lists is an ideal route for my blog.
About.com
This provided a great way to make your blog stand out visually. My take on the creating a visually appealing blog is to have a color scheme. Images can be used and can help grab the attention but I feel like having too many images can be clutter.
16 Rules of Blog Writing
My favorite rule that I feel applies greatly to my blog is keeping the paragraphs short. That is the only way to keep the attention of the audience. Because my audience would read the post about the description and move right to the image. Keeping a consistency of short paragraphs and common theme will keep my blog interesting.
BlogScoped
BlogScoped focused on the writing style on the blog posts. When writing my posts, I apply the inverted pyramid because it requires you to start the post with information that is most important to least important. Also, I use a lot images and lists because that gives a better description of the post.

Typography
ThisIsColossal
This is a very interesting blog about visual arts, but the presentation is poorly done. I feel that the typefaces used were very small and made it difficult to read. Also, the color contrast blends together to make it again hard to follow. Overall, the blog can be tolerated because of the visual images but the type they used is very hard to follow.
UpscaleHype
This is a blog about high-end fashion sightings on celebrities. This is a pretty linear blog about a very specific area, but the type makes easy to follow. It uses a very large font and contrasting size in the subtitles. The choice of size and contrasts helps the readers follow better when there is not much to read. This is blog is the first blog the caught my eye solely based the typefaces and the large subtitles.
