Public toilet lets you see out, but

Here's a picture of a public toilet in Switzerland that's made entirely out of one-way glass. No one can see you in there, but when you are inside, it looks like you're sitting in a clear glass box. I don't think I'd be able to go. Link (Thanks, DocX!)

The UK Royal Mail has redesigned its site in craptacular, non-accessible glory, shutting off people using assistive devices from looking up postcodes. The official line of the post office is that Britons "begin to notice dramatic improvements in accessibility in the next two months." As NTK points out, though, the old, lynx-friendly site is still accessible at a s33kr1t URL. Link (via NTK)

NotApathetic is a site to give people who won't be voting a voice to explain why not. They make up 40% of the population, and we think they deserve more listening to, whether we agree or not with their reasons." Link (Thanks, Tom!)

Toilet Paper Scalability

Toilet Paper Scalability 03/14/2005 06:06 PM

Here's a fun example of why scalability is hard: What problems do you run into by going parallel on your toilet paper dispenser?

Although most homes have only single roll holders, most commercial establishments have long ago switched to devices that hold multiple rolls. We decided to install one, so we purchased holder of two rolls, side by side.

We discovered that although we now had two rolls instead of one, the problem was not solved. Both rolls ran out at the same time. Sure, it took twice as long before the rolls emptied, but we were still stuck with the same problem: no more paper. We had discovered that the switch to two rolls meant we had to use more sophisticated behavior: the algorithm for tearing of paper mattered.

A fun article with a good look into how computer nerds look at the world, but it also hints at actual issues with scalability: More does not automatically equal better.

Toto Intelligence Toilet

Toto Intelligence Toilet 03/29/2005 04:22 AM

Toto's new "Intelligence Toilet" system brings health measurements only a bathroom away. For mere thousands of dollars, the Intelligence Toilet system will measure urine sugar, blood pressure, body fat and weight on a daily basis. Since there is very little human intervention required, it's almost lazy enough for me to use. The data can be transferred over a home network too, for viewing on your PC. Sony Online Entertainment has announced the next version of Everquest will interface with this as well, so creating an in-game likeness of yourself is as easy as going to the bathroom.

iCan... **not** Apple's new toilet. 11/04/2003 03:41 PM
The BBC introduces it's new grass-roots political website iCan. After research showed (surprise surprise) that "many people are very disillusioned and cynical about politicians and local civic institutions" moves were made to set up iCan, to enable people to get information on and engage in local and national political issues. With search tools to find actions on local issues, message boards, and the ability to create a website for your cause, "iCan aims to make politics accessible to ordinary people confronting a problem." It's also one of the things Rupert Murdoch and The Guardian would like to squash.

New York Times on the toilet

New York Times on the toilet 04/19/2005 11:04 AM
David Pescovitz: Today's New York Times has an article about the toilet market with a few interesting bits about American Standard's design center:

In one room, 12 toilets are flushing as if under ghostly control; an electronic machine is pulling the virtual levers - and manipulating water temperature and pressure as well. In smaller rooms nearby, one man is alternately flushing cylinders of miso paste, wadded-up paper, and as many as 24 golf balls at a time, while another is inspecting different glazes on ceramic tiles.

Men and machines are testing and retesting the Champion, a low-to-medium priced but technically advanced toilet. American Standard, the world's largest maker of bathroom and kitchen products, has promised consumers that the Champion will never clog.

Toto's Techno Toilet Tomorrow

Toto's Techno Toilet Tomorrow 05/31/2004 09:49 AM

Apparently toilet technologists Toto have felt the rains down in Africa one too many times, developing a new backdoor spritzer known as the 'Washlet' that tries to give a modern-day spin to the bidet. While Science Toilets are nothing new -- the Japanese have led this field for decades, for better or worse (see: Tubgirl) -- Toto is pushing the Washlet with all they've got, with videos, infomercials, and even a multi-story Times Square ad. Will Americans finally warm up to a warm water pulse on their sour apples? I could assume, but opinions are like assholes: they often feel cleanest when hit with a jet of heated steam.

Meanwhile, back in Japan, Toto has added a 'hydroelectric' convertor that uses the wasted flush energy to power the infrared sensor, keeping the internal battery charged for up to 10 years. It even tries to guess what number you've worked out and adjusts the amount of water as appropriate. (Thanks, Robert!)
