Yes, anyone can be a blogger
Whenever I think blogging is a difficult task, an item like this comes along to show me I'm not so special:
An IT company in Japan has, according to a post on the site Pink Tentacle, "has developed a sophisticated botanical interface system that lets plants post their thoughts online."
Right now, in a cafe in Kamakura, Japan, a succulent Sweetheart Hoya named Midori-san is writing a daily blog. The plant is hooked up to surface sensors that measure the weak bioelectrical current flowing across the surface of the leaves. That current is translated into the plant's "thoughts" online.
Humans who visit her blog - those who can read Japanese, anyway - can download a widget that activates a fluorescent lamp over Midori-san. Turn the lamp on, and Midori-san will say "thank you" for the gift of photosynthesis.
