Plante som blogger

At blogging øker i omfang er knapt noen nyhet. Heller ikke at man får blogger som dekker ethvert tenkelig område. Men en plante med egen blogg som skriver selv, det var i alle fall nytt for meg.

På en japansk kafe, har potteplanten av arten hoya kerri, kalt Midori San, fått sin egen blogg.

På Yahoo kan man lese:

A pot plant in a Japanese cafe has been writing her own blog on a computer to keep customers posted on its thoughts.

Engineer Satoshi Kuribayashi, who has been studying how to communicate with plants, helped Midori-san express herself.

He wired up the hoya kerrii, commonly known as a "sweetheart plant", to a sensor that measures bio-electric signals and translates them into Japanese using a computer algorithm.

A typical blog entry reads: "Today was a sunny day and I was able to sunbathe a lot. I had quite a bit of fun today."

Customers at the Bowls Cafe in Kamakura, near Tokyo, are taking a keen interest in their green friend's musings.

Innledningen på bloggen minner meg mistenkelig om en jeg har lest hos et svenskt bloggfenomen. Unnskyld Midori-San.
