Seorang Guru Besar ITB menyebutkan bahwa UN itu sesat. Salah satu argumen beliau adalah bahwa UN memaksa murid-murid untuk menghafal, bukannya menggunakan akal atau nalar. Saya tidak akan berkomentar tentang UN, tapi saya ingin mengingatkan bahwa menghafal itu adalah bagian penting dari pendidikan.

Anda tahu milis kan? Itu loh, mailing list. Ajang diskusi virtual, di mana anda bisa mendaftarkan alamat email anda dan nanti anda akan menerima artikel yang dikirimkan oleh anggota milis itu. Saya hanya ingin menjelaskan apa saja pertimbangan saya untuk ikut sebuah milis, dan bagaimana saya mengikuti perkembangan posting di dalamnya. Semoga sharing pengalaman ini ada manfaatnya, terutama agar kita semua tahu kapan harus mengirim komentar dan kapan harus tutup mulut.

I am not joking with that title. Not many people, out of billions of muslims, that even think about this problem (what problem, they will ask). And out of the few that do, only a handful have the willingness to raise this issue for an open discussion. For the sake of finding a solution, let me start the discussion.
This is going to be a long article (in fact its so long that I need to break it up into two postings – at least). I will start with the why: why bother writing this article. And then I will provide some basic information on what muslims need in a toilet, and I will try to formulate the idea of islamic toilet.
In the next post, I will cover the design parts. This should be fun for architects and interior designers. I am also going to identify some common problems found around the world. Hopefully, in the end we can see some solutions coming out.

Artikel ini sudah diterbitkan di Pikiran Rakyat dengan judul: Andai PT Kita Seperti Cambridge.
Malam itu saya duduk di ruang makan di St. John’s College, Universitas Cambridge, Inggris. Di belakang saya duduk tergambar Lady Margareth yang menghibahkan seluruh warisannya untuk mendirikan college ini. Di dinding samping berderet anggota college yang menjadi nama-nama besar tingkat dunia sepanjang sejarahnya yang ratusan tahun. Ada Dirac dan Abdussalam yang fisikawan terkenal itu. “Seluruhnya ada sembilan anggota college ini yang pernah meraih hadiah nobel”, kata seorang fellow yang duduk di samping saya.

I have an inherent curiousity on how people put an information, warning, whatever into labels, signs, poster, whatever. I will start putting my collection into this blog for everyone to enjoy.
In the mean time, you will find these tags (@del.icio.us) entertaining: signage, signs, sign, graphic_design

Ketika Jan Sundell, seorang pakar kesehatan berlatar belakang insinyur, bertanya dalam presentasinya, “Mengapa kita perlu ventilasi?”, pikiran saya langsung meloncat ke tanah air di mana hampir seluruh bangunan rumah tinggal berventilasi alami. “Seluruh teori ventilasi akan kehilangan relevansinya, karena teori ventilasi di Eropa dibangun sebagai respon dari ditutupnya suplai udara segar dari luar dalam rangka penghematan energi. Mana ada hambatan suplai udara segar di rumah-rumah di Indonesia, wong salah-salah bisa masuk angin,” demikian kurang lebih hasil lamunan saya.

If Moses had gotten the Ten Commandments on a floppy disk, it would never have made it to today. (Dag Spicer, curator of the Computer History Museum in Silicon Valley, The NYTimes Circuit, 26-Mar-2009)
“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”

“The wrath of God is the only way I can describe it. I’m used to seeing roofs off houses, houses blown over. These houses were down to their foundations, stripped clean.” said Governor Phil Bredesen of Tennessee, after surveying tornado damage there.
James Madison said, “If there be a principle that ought not to be questioned within the United States, it is that every man has a right to abolish an old government and establish a new one.” In Indonesia, …, well no comment.
Setelah empat belas hari menunggu, akhirnya saya bisa menikmati kembali berita-berita dari Bandung. Harian PR tampil dengan wajah baru dengan koneksi yang tampaknya lebih kencang.
