I have two irrational fears: public bathrooms and crosswalks. Anyone who has taken a college-level biology course will mostly understand my fear of public toilets and the recurring unsettling dreams I have involving hellaciously decrepit restrooms. The crosswalk weirdness only ever gets me blinking frowns and silence when I try to explain, so never you mind about that one.

I’ve posted before about the forward-thinking greenness of Arizona State University and their sustainability degree programs (here and here). Now, according to Mr.Bradford at Geek Stew, they’re doing great (and not at all scary) things with toilets in the new Santan Hall building at ASU Polytechnic. I’m enjoying vicarious feelings of deep, settling calm just knowing there are safe and shiny toilets out there.
