Piercing my tongue

15 September 2006

I just bought a new nano and Nike+ kit but I didn’t want the Nike shoes nor did I care for the recent ‘velcro’ hack. Instead of looking like a huge geek with a transmitter in my laces, I decided to surgically insert the transmitter into my shoe tongue.

Step 1

Gather up your favorite running shoe. Find an exacto knife or razor blade of sorts and buy a Nike+ kit.

Step 2

Loosen up your strings and stick out your tongue.

Step 3

Cut a slit about an inch in length into the backside of the shoe tongue. Try not to cut all the way through to the other side.

Step 4

Slip in the Nike+ transmitter and push it down into the tongue.

Congratulations! Your ready to run in your favorite pair of shoes.

Nice. After seeing your “anyone want to race” challenge on flickr the other day I thought it would be nice to track my runs (maybe somehow hack it to work with a road ride too), but I didn’t like the Nike shoes you had to have (I already have my running shoes). This seals the deal, we’re going Nike + iPod. Have you found the transmitter to be uncomfortable in the tongue on the top of your foot?

Nope, don’t even know its there. I’m sure it depends on how padded your shoe tongues are.

Yet another sign that the end is near. Pretty soon they’ll be inserting those into our wrists or straight up our asses.
