Organic HTML
I saw this over at Lavalady's blog and I wanted to link to it here. It's a great way to kill time and if you do any kind of programming at all, it's fascinating.
OrganicHTML is the name of the site. All you do is type in a URL, any URL, and a plant will spring forth from the little pod. The colors of the plant seem to come from the colors used on the site you pick so if you use my homepage, you'll see a lot of blue which looks odd.
What I'm curious about is which properties of the site affect the plant and which don't. For example, try inputting the address of my Sin City review and you'll get a very dramatic looking plant indeed. Yet that page is purely text with just a handful of links on it. In contrast, if you use Ben's artpage Troutmouth.com, you get very little foliage but there will be an insect buzzing around the plant.
If you have any ideas or find something that produces a particularly cool result, let me know.

I spent way too much time playing with that thing last night. My blog plant was depressing though. I thought fun ones were NY times, Knicks website, and putting in Columbia, NYU, etc. (You get to see school colors).
(And of course, elvis.com gives you a "king" sized plant)

Yeah, SUNY Albany's page also produces a pleasant looking plant with lots of purple and yellow. Must be something about higher education that bolsters the plant's growth!
