Seriocomic presentation on toilets, sanitation and related issues by Matthew Lippincott at Concordia University in Portland, OR.
Thanks to Abby Brown for sending this my way.
From the YouTube site:
Mathew is of the opinion that the future needs better instructions. An artist and designer working in technology development and education, he splits his time between creating low-cost science kits and restroom reform. A founding member of the Public Laboratory for Open Technology and Science (Public Lab), and MDML design, Mathew's recent life highlights include his Balloon Mapping Kickstarter being listed as one of the 10 best projects of 2012, MDML's Sewer Catastrophe Companion being exhibited at the Center for Disease Control and approved by the Portland Bureau of Emergency Management, and developing signage for the Beacon Food Forest in Seattle.
Wonder if Lippincott has checked out the winner of the Gates Foundation's 'Reinvent the Toilet' competition? I hope not...
