If you’re more advanced than those who consider beans the musical fruit – but still not above a little bit of an orchestral performance in the bathroom then these toilet seats (priced at about $US169 each) are for you…

Hitting the right note
Plumbing new depths
Turns out the farting office chair – or more correctly the tweeting fart detecting office chair – wasn’t the lowest you can go with new technologies.
Here’s how to make a toilet that tweets on each flush…and here’s the Twitter account for you to follow. Here are some samples:
- plop plop fizz fizz
- blue?! WHAT were you eating?
- plop plop fizz fizz
- you sank my battleship
- hey tweeps, i just wanted to share this awesome moment with you
What can I say – I’m all about enriching your day to day lives.
Looky loo
If there’s one piece of homeware that is due for an upgrade it’s the porcelain train, the humble toilet, the dunny, the loo, the… you get the point. As far as technology goes the toilet has been pretty stagnant.
Well, here are some developments for your interest.
The “Go with the Flo”
The Flo™ toilet is an ergonomic, sustainable design concept for baby boomers that functions like a squat toilet. Designers maintain that using the Flo™ toilet is akin to yoga – by building and strengthening abdominal and back muscles. Only one-half to one gallon of water is used for flushing and The Flo™ reuses water from hand washing. To flush water from the tanks to the toilet, the Flo™ employs an electromagnetic ball valve that uses electromagnets. Go With the Flo™ also is free of mechanical parts. The toilet is fully self-sustaining and independent of electric power.
Or this one – a World of Warcraft cubby with built in loo…
Or how about this one – a toilet with inbuilt RSS capabilities.
The FKF-20M (from ¥55,000/$558) does the trick by generating a unique URL for each visit and beaming it from a wall-mounted infrared panel alongside the usual no-touch flush sensor to any compatible cellphone.
From there, it’s a simple matter of clicking through to a mobile website showing details such as fecal bacteria count, presence or absence of blood, fat content and other delights.
How about the motorcycle toilet – anybody want a pickle?
Philosophical flatulence
If a man passes wind in his office chair and Twitter is there to hear it – would you listen?
One of the things I was taught at uni was that a lot of technological innovation is driven by the adult entertainment industry. Video cassettes, the Internet, and glossy magazine printing technology have all benefited from hundreds of millions (perhaps billions) of dollars of investment from the industry. I thought that was interesting.
I also think it’s interesting that in the “open source” era so many applications of new technology are being driven by toilet humour. Particularly a fascination with flatulence. One of the most downloaded iPhone applications (and I don’t have it) is iFart – it’s basically a portable whoopie cushion with the full natural gas sound spectrum available at the push of a button. Enlightening. Really. It says so much about the human condition.
I’m delighted today to have discovered an all new low in the use of technology for the purposes of toilet humour… Here’s a description:
The Twittering office chair “tweets” (posts a Twitter update) upon the detection of natural gas such as that produced by human flatulence. This is part of my commitment to accurately document and share my life as it happens.
Here’s the detailed instructions for how to build your own… and here’s the OfficeChair’s Twitter account so you can follow the farts in real time. Hooray.
Here’s one for the folders
Scrunchers are no doubt less sophisticated and should be ostracised with much pointing and name calling. Folders are the superior breed. As demonstrated by this new line of toilet paper…
Pen(t) up aggression
Sick of people stealing your pen? Me too. I hate it. My pens go missing from my desk at an alarming rate. The worst bit is when you see the aforementioned writing device in someone else’s mouth. get the pen back complete with fresh teeth marks. Your troubles will be a distant memory if you invest the $US1.69 to purchase this pen.
Found here. I can’t believe someone made this – and worse, I can’t believe I posted it… or maybe I can.
Make your child a star poople
It says a lot about the internet that this was number 3 on Reddit the day after it was posted.
It says a lot about me that I reposted it here. I couldn’t help myself. It’s not real by the way. At least not as far as I can tell.
Awkward return
Imagine workplace “water cooler” conversations today at this Townsville workplace…
“so, used toilet paper lately?”
Background: this guy was originally sacked because his toilet hygiene was considered inappropriate. He used bottled water rather than paper for his ablutions. He’s back at work today after the company backed down.
Weighty issue
Does that scenario look familiar to any of you girls out there? Well, now there’s a solution.
A toilet seat with built in scale. Designed to make girls feel good about their weight – but used to give guys bragging fodder regarding their weighty issue. Come on, admit it, you’ve always wondered how much that thing you just flushed weighed… or maybe that’s just me.
Potty potty putter idea
I’ve posted some stupid products lately. I don’t know why. They’re just indicative of what’s been tickling my fancy. But today I’m plumbing new depths. With this. The potty golf set. That’s right. Make Christmas special this year with this easy to assemble toilet golf putter game. It fits snuggly against the base of the loo – allowing you to putt while you do your business.
