Japanese man chronicles daily life of a vending machinePosted Sep 25th 2007 12:45PM by Joe DiStefanoFiled under: Far East, Hacking Food, Food Oddities, Soda I suppose this blog I came across is no stranger than Cheddarvision. One thing's for certain it's probably more exciting to follow than watching a wheel of cheddar age. You read the headline right. It seems Ryuuichi Terada has been photographing the same Coca-Cola machine almost every day for more than two years. The title of his web site translates to I take a picture of the vending machine every day (or so). I'm very sorry. Michael Keferl of Trends in Japan hails this the Hokkaido resident's obsessive work as "the GREATEST BLOG EVER." While I don't see eye to eye with Keferl, I can understand the appeal of the site which exhaustively chronicles the daily life of the machine, often with detailed diagrams like the one above. I have a feeling the site is especially popular with executives at Japanese soft-drink companies. In case you are wondering Terada-san has a job and is married. His wife takes photos of the machine when he's on vacation. Now, that's love people.[via: Boing Boing]
