ICON Day and shoes
ICON Day is tomorrow, which is this annual event I’m in charge of on the topic of technology in the teaching and learning spheres. It is almost as much work as planning a wedding, but no presents, and I will be wearing something understated.
Last year, we had an ice storm that day. This year, the weather forecast looks good: 40F and sunny. I will get some free food out of the deal, and hopefully the Powerful Ones will be understanding if I slack a bit on Friday.
I got some new shoes. They are Danskos, which are renowned for being extremely comfortable (my main motivation was having something suitable to walking all over Rome), but reviled for being hideous. However, it looks like the company is making an effort to be cuter, because these are downright fashionable.
I mean, as fashionable as sensible walking shoes are going to get. Expect them to make frequent appearances in my forthcoming vacation photos.
