Yearbook Yourself
The biennial London Festival of Architecture 2008 has come to a close after a month that saw a buzz of activity move through five Hub areas across the city, bringing large scale temporary structures and major street closures animated by art, music, dance and other events as well as exhibitions, walks, talks, boat and bicycle rides and performances to London’s architecture novices and industry experts alike. During that time some 250,000 people attended Festival events and many thousands more saw the street gallery exhibitions and installations located around the city. As well as making architecture engaging and exciting for a new audience, we addressed important issues such as how we improve public space in cities, how architecture impacts the environment and generally how we make London a better place to live and work in.

Compare: Gawker's story about Horse_ebooks and Shortformblog's story about reply girls . Once again, spammers are ahead of the curve in predicting the future of the internets: The Pseudo-Algorithmic Human! In a recent episode of the WTF podcast, Bill Lawrence (the creator of Scrubs , Cougar Town , and Spin City ) talks about how he hates the name of his show Cougar Town so much that he considered changing it this season. One of the main reasons he didn't is that DVRs aren't equipped to understand a name change, so the show would essentially lose any audience that had a season pass in TiVo. Anyway, it got me thinking: Has there ever been a successful show that changed its name?

Toilet image via Shutterstock File under “News to Me”: you know that old story about how northern hemisphere toilets flush counter-clockwise, and southern hemisphere toilets (and buckets, drains, and such) flush clockwise, due to the Coriolis effect? It’s bogus! Today I learned that while the Coriolis effect is significant for hurricanes, it’s not strong enough to make toilets flush in different directions at different points on the Earth.
