After many deep and profound brain things inside my head I've decided what I'm going to have fun with today. I'm sure most of you have heard of/seen/experienced the extremely space-age infra red flushes/taps that these swanky hotels have. At least it used to be a swanky hotel hegemony, now even Koshy's has them and Koshy's is nowhere near swanky despite the prices. The initial temptation to play with the devices was amazing. Honestly perhaps it still is. The easiest thing to do is to stand in one cubicle (can I call it that without the techies going up in arms?) and to activate the one next door with (preferably) one's hand. And then feel a surge of control and power as the wrong cube/pot/watchamacalit flushes. Of course there are the weirder ones like the one I saw today that decided to preemptively flush as I stood in front of it and then do the usual flush-thingy. That was weird. And then the other one that had the infra red all set up and refused to work till I pressed this cool button right underneath it. Modern technology defeated yet again.
But infra red taking over the world from burglar alarms to flushes to remote controls is still better than the design gurus' despotism. Was assaulted by a flat (well nearly flat) wash basin. "Why?" I cried, "Why me?" What happened to good old hydrodynamically stable designs? What kind of neoergonomics or pseudoergonomics are they using now? That or according to feng shui
a flat basin collects less dirt
Water flows into drain
with little care....
Then there was the nasty story of a vertical pee wall. Not unlike the Bill Stickers will be burnt at state, No urine for man - only for dog, and the Berlin wall. It had terrible consequences that I can't mention here.
Watch Ice Age 2 people. Not as good as one, but worth everything. Have finally laid hands of crash. will see it soon.
Take care and step away from the unseen light.
