🔥 Heatwave - 🥫 #21

Singapore’s weather is still super hot.🔥. Heard that the heatwave will end by June or something, we’ll see.

Highlights of the month

• 😩 My old Yahoo! Mail account entered inactive state for 1+ year. All contents were deleted. Really miss my chain mails 🙈

• 🗺️ Made a cool demo for Google Maps’ Photorealistic 3D tiles and got featured on Maps Mania.

Interesting discoveries

1. Somehow spotted GrabFood was trailing AI-generated food images. 🍽️ 😆

   

   Honestly a legit attempt for using AI to pre-fill food items that don’t have images.

2. Randomly saw Tampines MP (Member of Parliament) set up a Twitter poll to decide colour options for repainting of Tampines Blk 425-432. 📊

   

   Scheme 1 is quite creative but Scheme 2 is more colorful.

3. “Living and breathing buses 24/7”, a graphical story by Mark Cheong, showing the bus enthusiasts in Singapore who have turned their hobby into careers.

   

   Always spot the signs.

Story Time

I tweeted this:

…and eventually manage to catch up with few folks!

No photos, but the conversations were good. Would totally encourage folks initiating these sessions in their local cities/towns/circles.
