BGR’s first impressions of Samsung’s Galaxy Note →

Jonathan Geller over at the Boy Genius Report posted his first impres­sions of the Sam­sung Galaxy Note - the mon­strous phone adver­tised during the Super Bowl:

But you have a stylus that comes with it, so I guess that makes up for any sim­i­lar­i­ties with rival devices. Kind of like those lol­lipops you’d get at the den­tist after some­one just went Mike Tyson on your tooth.

Tee-​hee. Sar­casm is funny.

New Balance 993s on the NYFW Runway. Really? →

Never thought I’d see New Bal­ance run­ning shoes on the runway paired with suit sep­a­rates. Not sure if that makes me an old fart or shel­tered or what.

Last season, Steven Alan lamented to The Style Blog that he wished he could make his own shoes. Appar­ently, he’s not quite there yet: Amidst the der­bies, low-​tops, and other leather shoes we saw at his pre­sen­ta­tion this morn­ing — which always kicks off the men’s shows — two models were wear­ing these navy New Bal­ance 993s above, paired with smart suit sep­a­rates. Alan’s the master of what we’ll call Week­end Clothes, and there seems no better way to make your flan­nels work for Sat­ur­day and Sunday than with a pair of these.
