Google’s “Dark porcelain” project
You know what today is, right? No, not that. No, that‘s not what I’m talking about either. No, it’s the time of year new and amazing Google revelations come down the pipes.
You can read my post from last year about Google Romance. The year before that was Google Gulp, the amazing and the most technologically advanced drink of all time.
Strangely related to Google Gulp is the offer from this year – free high speed internet access. But not just any access. It’s called TiSP, which stands for Toilet Internet Service Provider. Yes, you actually flush the cable down your toilet (using the patented GFlushâ„¢ system) and it will connect to an access node. This from the official press release:

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., April 1, 2007 – Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) today announced the launch of Google TiSP (BETA)â„¢, a free in-home wireless broadband service that delivers online connectivity via users’ plumbing systems. The Toilet Internet Service Provider (TiSP) project is a self-installed, ad-supported online service that will be offered entirely free to any consumer with a WiFi-capable PC and a toilet connected to a local municipal sewage system.
Really? Well, no, not really. But I’ll let you read more about TiSP yourself here. The FAQ page is my favourite.
