Aquaponics in Manhattan & the Tongue as a Mouse — Bizarre Tech
[MUSIC FADE IN — CURIOSITY, LIGHT HEARTED][HOST VOICE]Alright. Time for our regular segment — the one where we round up the strange, the unexpected, and the 'wait, someone actually built that?' stories from the tech world. First up: NYC Apartment Aquaponics. Yes, someone is running a full aquaponics system — that's fish farming combined with hydroponics, for those who haven't had the pleasure — inside a Manhattan apartment. The setup is documented at erinmurphy.dev, and it's equal parts impressive and absurd. The fish are in the living room. The grow beds are where bookshelves should be. The whole thing produces enough greens for one person to feel like they're doing something meaningful, while simultaneously asking: was this the best use of 400 square feet in New York City?
