Journal de bord qui rend compte, sur plusieurs fragments de texte liés par des hyperliens, du suivi de la germination de graines de haricot, avec photos de l'évolution quotidienne des semences. L'auteur se sert de ce prétexte pour s'exprimer par métaphore sur la vie humaine, sur la croissance personnelle, de manière poétique et essayistique.

Strange to go back to something that I did as a child at school. Finding some blotting paper left over from my days as a printmaker. Rolling it up. Putting it in the jar - well, beer glass -as this seems a more grown-up vessel for growing a bean for an adult to use. Long past my bean stage - in fact I have even grown two beans of my own. Maybe they would object to being called beans. Teenagers object to most things. Think I'll keep that to myself - stash this url away, like a porn site, so as to do my parental thing of protecting my seedlings from damage. Tender young things, almost ready to spread out their own roots.Climb out the jar.

Notes:

This bean project is being developed as an exercise in learning web-design skills. As the project develops, the beans will grow and change in both form and colour. Each days page will be worked in colours taken from the daily photographs of the beans. The text will be free-association - sometimes lenghtly, other times brief, depending on time I have available. As the beans grow, so too will my hypertext skills.............
