Meet the newest staff member

"A potted plant that posts daily news on its mood and health is believed to be the world's first botanical blogger.  Midori-san, which lives on the counter of a Japanese cafe, writes regular updates with the help of sensors attached to its leaves.  The detectors pick up electronic signals on the surface of the plant, which responds to light and human touch.  The data is then combined with weather and temperature information and translated into chatty blog posts using a computer algorithm."

"'Today was a sunny day and I was able to sunbathe a lot . . .  I had quite a bit of fun today,' it wrote on October 16 from its cafe in Kamakura, near Tokyo.  A more recent entry was less perky:  'It was cloudy today.  It was a cold day.'"

I got money on that plant out posting Dom within a week.

Led Zeppelin star Jimmy Page has refused to endorse an attempt by a California fan to land the rock supergroup on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Nice work, Zoso. What, no "Stairway" reference?

Last call for Zima

Coors announced in a letter Monday that production of the tasty malt-liquor beverage that is a refreshing alternative to beer and wine was discontinued as of October 10. Chief Marketing Officer Andy England says the decision was due to weakness in the "malternative" segment and declining consumer interest.


Exsqueeze me? I got half a sixer of Zima in my man fridge right now? Time to stock up, as England says that remaining Zima inventories will most likely be exhausted by December.
