Now, from Billbert...

I'm on an online shopping kick.

Chuck Taylors, albeit slip-ons. The choice of postmodern hipsters.

Years ago I swore off Nike products -- I *think* because of the alleged/rumored difficult working conditions for employees overseas. Apparently that sentiment finally ended today -- if not before -- when, after a clearance markdown, discount special, and free shipping, I paid just $27.99. Hopefully nobody was caused pain because I wanted to be a little anti-trendy-fashionable-funky.

I should probably look up the latest record for Nike, Old Navy, Gap and other such retailers if I feel this strongly about it. Don't quote me yet, and stay tuned.
