Hello and welcome to this, my first post, on my new blog, getting to know milan. A few weeks ago some friends bought a Nabaztag wifi rabbit for me and my girlfriend for our birthdays (which are just a week apart).

It’s like the Orb made by Ambient Devices, except that it works everywhere you can get a wifi connection, plus it looks like a white plastic bunny rabbit. Besides having ears that move and lights that flash, it also plays midi audio and even does text-to-speech in English and French (and sometimes a mix of the two!). You can send it text messages, messages via the web, or via email.

What makes the Nabaztag — mine is called Milan — most interesting is the easy to use API. And that’s what this blog will be all about. I intend to learn and play with the API in the coming weeks — making Milan do stuff, and seeing if Milan can make other things do stuff (you can move his ears, and he’ll send a message to the nabaztag.com server with their new position).
