The bathroom at Hopworks.

Two things I like about this bathroom:
1. The secret message
2. The superior hand dryers

Friends of mine might already know how much I love next generation hand dryers

The Mitsubishi Jet Towel - "The first air blowing hand dryer that can make the following claim... IT WORKS"

Dyson Airblade - "Finally, a hand dryer that works properly"

And now the Xcelerator - "FINALLY... A FAST HAND DRYER"

I absolutely agree with the premise of these products' tag lines - hand dryers don't dry your hands. At least three companies put forward solutions, but in my world these dryers are a rare exception rather than the rule.

Columbia Astronauts

From an elementary school in East Multnomah County.

Here's the photo they used. Do you think the Columbia Disaster impacted kids in 2003 the way Challenger did in 1986? Space exploration is on my mind a lot, having just watched When We Left Earth. Oh, and WALL-E.
