from the Adidas vs. Nike story in the Times mag, a moniker for all of us: "Fastidious Eclectus -- the ''SoHo architect,'' Liedtke says, who craves hip, distinctive sneakers. (Adidas guidelines: ''age 15-35''; ''I think weirdness and confidence are sexy.'')" Not as brilliant a breakdown of the world as occurs in Stephenson/Bury's Interface ("Depression-haunted can stacker," "Trade School Metal Heads," e.g.), but still just fine with me.
