Shiphol airport Urinal with a fly

This is the famous urinal at the Shiphol airport in Amsterdam. They found that when men find something on the surface of a urinal, they tend to aim better and that way they can keep the cleaning cost in check. Whether it is true or not, this innovation has become popular among airports. You can see a similar one in JFK.

From American People: in Egypt

I am visiting Egypt in order to participate an education program for ICT Entrepreneurship in Egypt. It is an US AID program. The slogan of USAID caught my attention: From American People. I am happy to be a hand of American people.

I am at LA Mobility Roundtable

I am currently attending LA Mobility Roundtable. I will present the paper on Wireless Philadelphia and how the traditional notion of universal access needs to be expanded in the context of digital information infrastructure. I forgot to bring my camera. So, no pictures from the trip.

Raleigh

I am visiting Raleigh, NC for data collection at Raleigh Convention Center project. My flight got delayed more than an hour and I arrived shortly after mid-night. Since I could not catch shuttle for my original rental company (Dollar), I had to cancel it and use the one that was still open, Hertz. This is the room that I am staying.
