If you’re wondering why the previously unstoppable churn of our blog has slowed to a snail’s pace, its that the majority of the Synthesis office is currently suffering from a debilitating case of WordDepression, which has necessitated the inputting by hand of the oodles of HTML code that makes our blog fancy. And since we’re all basically lazy pieces of shit, we’ve been sitting on our hands, waiting for our blog-guru Na3s to come through and save the day once again. However, something happened today, of such great magnitude, of such utter import that I am forced to bring it to you, hand-coding and all.

This event is known in office parlance as “Worth My While,” which is what we call it when someone sends us free shit, making our time spent building this machine worth our while. Today’s bringer of worthiness are our old friends at Saucony shoes, who were kind enough to lace me and fellow Synthesis Editorial Mastermind Spencer up (pun intended) with a free pair of Saucony Jazz kicks just because we rep their shit on this here blog. And this isn’t even the first time! Back in 2006, Saucony was also responsible for saving the lives of myself and Mr. Teilmann at SXSW, when they provided us footwear suited well to the marathon of walking that is covering SXSW, something we had both neglected to think of ahead of time (note: the dudes who used to play basketball in Chuck Taylors must have hated their lives after every game, or just been tough ass motherfuckers). If you’ve never worn a pair of Saucony Jazz shoes you seriously don’t know what you’re missing. They feel so smooth its like walking on a pair of babies asses. If you’re feeling adventurous, pick up a pair at Zappos.com TODAY!

So the moral of the story is, even if you have a busted ass Wordpress blog, you can still get rad ass folks at sweet shoe companies to recognize game. Thanks Team Saucony!!!111
