Case in point:

Recessed into a urinal is a pressure-sensitive display screen. When the guest uses it, he triggers an interactive game, producing images and sound. The reduced size of the “target” improves restroom hygiene and saves on cleanings costs (like the “fly in the urinal” at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport). It also makes a trip to the urinal “fun and games” – more than just a necessary nuisance. By projecting the game experience into the public space, viewers are treated to a new way of visualizing the abstract, and the entertainment value is boosted. The projection of the project into a museum space was conceived of as a critical-ironic measure, questioning the concept of art, but extending it at the same time. “On target” is an interactive installation with the functional purpose of improving hygiene.

Here is the On Target Toilet.

HARRISON FORD hates the internet, because it means anyone can spread malicious gossip about him.

Well, we hate you too. That’s because we know the truth about you and your “affinity” for donkeys.

This just in from the science desk:

A health journal on Friday describes a newly-identified syndrome affecting women – non-stop sexual arousal that can last for months and cannot be satisfied regardless of the number of orgasms.

The paper, which appears in the International Journal of Sexually-Transmitted Diseases and Aids, tentatively calls it Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome, or PSAS.

It seems to affect only a small minority of women but the true extent is unclear.

Seems as if scientists have just learned about nymphomaniacs. Also:

The study says that, despite the snickering or smart remarks this condition may cause, the state of endless arousal can cripple a woman’s life.

So lots of sex makes it difficult for women to walk. What else is new?

What a joke:

Blogs are evolving quickly as a communication medium and influencing the development of communications and marketing strategy. With more than 27 million blogs being written today, it is impossible not to find a niche community that can influence customer perceptions of a brand. As customers increasingly tune out traditional advertising and turn to new communication channels to fill the void, companies must learn how to join in the conversation. Moreover, besides connecting companies and their customers, blogs are also becoming an invaluable collaboration tool within companies to facilitate knowledge management and cross-functional communications.

This Boot Camp will focus on the fundamentals of blogging from a corporate perspective, helping companies develop a blog strategy and implementation plan, including discussion of policy, technology, and process. It will have a heavy focus on hands-on exercises that will complement in-depth presentations on these issues.
