Dammit. I've been tying my shoes wrong all these years. Now I have to have a stranger on the internet tell me.

D@mn you, mom and dad! If it hadn't been for your slip-shod training I could have been making a 6-figure salary by now!

[Emmett Flatus]

Someone has way, way, way too much time on their hands.

[Erb's point]

Is it time to go back to penny loafers?

[Cat R]

Ian scares me. That is all.

[jon]

Not to offend, but didn't the blog blog this last year??
Judi Someone should be fired!

[Dave]

Hey, we don't remember what we blogged this morning.

[Brainy Jello]

"Ian's Shoelace Site - Bringing you the fun, fashion & science of shoelaces"

I guess he couldn't figure out the sarcastic strike-through tags.

Bringing you the fun, fashion & science of shoelaces

[Siouxie]

Whew. Dave, thanks for straightening that out. I was pretty sure I wasn't onterrible.

[Mr. Completely]

Actually, I've used this guy's site a couple of years ago... I bought a hideous pair of basketball shoes (orange and purple in a size 17) and was looking for an equally striking way of lacing and tying! Thanks for reminding me!

I'm guessing Ian is a regular on the Speed Dating circuit -- and by regular I mean, "Often goes home alone to work on his arcane web site."

SHE: Soooo, you operate a shoelace website. What else do you like to do?
IAN: Well, tonight I'm going to be working on a bi-colored Celtic Knot design with a pair of Chuck Taylor Black Fives. The trick is to--
(DING)
SHE: Oh thank the heavens! (zip...)

*checks out Ian's shoelace site - quickly loses the will to live*

[Annie Where-but-here]

If he's getting more hits on his blog than mine, perhaps I should consider a lovely Celtic knot for my hangin' noose.

[dmentd]

Yes, I admit to already having this site bookmarked. It was nice to see a familiar face, so to speak

[Cat R]

dws698, now that is funny.

[queensbee]

i'm guessing he also goes to star trek conventions. IAN! get out from behind that computer....

[Margaritaville]

That was incredibly interes....*whump* ZZZZZZzzzzZZZZZzzzzzzZZZ....

[Auntie M]

Geez. If I'd known you were interested in sites like that, I would have sent you the link last week, when I first discovered it and posted it on MY blog!

This is older than the internet

[oneblankspace]

Shame he's not from Knottingham.

[OtheU(manity)]

I do knot find satisfaction in his glaring omission of "bow-biters" from the general font of information ...

[Kathybear]

But he has Testimonials! I dread to think of tying my shoes now... I'm probably tying them wrong... Sigh....

[frodolives]

Poor reporting... nothing on there to show how to tie someone else's shoelaces together...

[Layzeeboy]

Couldn't resist. I had to check out the FAQ. Under the question "How do I shorten my shoelaces?" I learned that you remove them and replace them with shorter ones. Or, alternatively, cut them and replace the aglets. Thank God for Ian and thank God for the internets.

I once had a coworker who travelled through Europe with and idiotic looking stuffed animal. She (the coworker, not the animal) created a photo album of the animal--let's call him "Norton". The captions were, "Here's Norton at the Roman Coliseum." "Here's Norton at Stone Hedge" etc. I thought it was the most stupid thing I had ever seen until the shoelaces.

In the world of velcro shoes, this cat is going to become fossil fuel soon.

[marcie]

wow, now i totally have to change my technique! but, to make the diagrams easier they should totally have a video showing how to properly tie shoes to avoid the dreadful "granny" tying

[marcie]

Is anyone out there that is having problems with Dell- the computer company? I would like some response to see if there is any one as unhappy with them as we are.
