If there are two things we love here at Engadget, it's our PCs and our kicks -- that's why we were tickled when trash artist and
bon vivant Gabriel Dishaw decided to memorialize the
Nike Blazer with a sculpture rendered from an old circuit board. Titled "Nike Blazer Pentium 1.0," this is the first part of a series of classic sneakers -- and we must say, this one looks pretty good, if somewhat uncomfortable. Hit the read link to inquire about purchasing some art for yourself, but not before getting a closer look or two after the break.
[Thanks, daklar]

The mayor of a town in Malta calls for a phallus-like sculpture to be removed in respect of the Pope, who visits this weekend. Mayor John Schembri described the art work as "vulgar" and "embarrassing", saying it should go "as a sign of respect" for Pope Benedict XVI. The artist responded by calling his critics "ignorant" and "uneducated".
