Google’s Pokemon Identification System Explained

3/31/2014

 
Picture

I've always dreamed of a world where Pokemon and humans coexist. Things would be peaceful, children and their Pokemon would play in the park all day long, and nobody would have to work. All society would have to do is catch Pokemon and trade them for food (or just eat them). But how would people do this on a daily basis without going crazy?

Picture

A Pokedex is only so useful...all it can really do is identify and remember which Pokemon you've caught. The major problem would be trying to find them all on your own. Well, what if a mega tech giant such as Google came along and decided to solve this problem and find them for you? What would be required of the company to achieve this?

Picture

Google would have to hire the best hunters in the world to seek out every Pokemon or at the very least, identify a specific number of Pokemon in a region. Pokemon would be pre-identified for the purpose of a brand new Google service which would display to a user the exact location of Pokemon. Essentially, Google would physically micro-ID Pokemon and allow only a specific number of customers to join their service. To even further break down this concept, let's just call this geo-caching for Pokemon. 

Picture

Why not use crowd sourcing? I suppose there would have to be some incentive to not capture Pokemon since, in this society, people must capture and trade Pokemon to stay alive! So I would say that crowd sourcing would not be ideal. Users of the service would not want to be the ones to get their hands dirty for free. All they would want to do is pick up their newfangled devices and point it in the direction of the nearest Pokemon to start capturing them all.

Picture

I don't see what's wrong with having a peaceful society in which Pokemon exist. I just wouldn't want to have to bother looking for them all day long. It would be incredibly boring. That's why a Google service such as the one I've described is incredibly smart on their part and innovative. It keeps the peace. But it makes me use my hands. What if Google gave away Google Glass? All we'd have to do is turn our heads to find Pokemon. Forget using your hands or minds – too difficult. Of course it would be ad supported, selling Pokemon litter or toys, potions and elixirs, auto-levelers and poke-pills that reduce your Pokemon to a previous evolution. But that's in an ideal world and I don't see that happening anytime soon.

Bird is the Word

3/26/2014

Wood Thrush - "Tut, tut, oh-lay-oh-leeeee"

The eastern wood thrush is my favorite songbird. The best time to hear one is just before sunset when it fills the woods with an ominous yet beautiful flowing whistle. Click to listen.

Picture

Catbird - "Chek-chek-chek, quirt"

Catbirds can be identified by a very busy and some may say noisy call. Their tails usually flutter sporadically and they are quick on their feet. Click to listen.

Picture

Baltimore Oriole - "Flutter chuck"

Hang an orange in a tree and if you're lucky, a Baltimore Oriole will come to eat it. Click to listen.

Picture

Eastern Whip-poor-will - "Whip-poor-will"

These birds are strange and so is their name. They almost look as if they're hurt while in a resting position. Click to listen.

Picture

Great Blue Heron - "Roh-roh-rohs, go-go-gos, frawnk, awk, tik-tik-tik"

These large birds can be found by riversides, perched high up in trees. Their nests are generally messy looking so they aren't too hard to find. Click to listen.

Tardigrades. Water Bears. Water Weenies.

3/24/2014

 
Picture

The tardigrade is one of my favorite microscopic organisms. They are the ultimate survivalists. They can withstand extreme cold and heat, live years without nourishment, and can even survive space. You need an electron microscope to see them but they are nearly everywhere.

Picture

Tardigrades are also known as water bears and resemble water weenies, only they have eight arms and a tiny sucker for a mouth. Their movements are that of something many, many times their size which makes them appear to be too perfect for something so microscopic. The crazy thing is that they've been studied for many years but not too long ago, they were said to be non-ubiquitous. In fact, they are probably in your back yard crawling around in the trees. Check out this video to learn more about them.

Cats Are Excellent Weathercats

2/17/2014

When I was growing up I had a wristwatch with a barometer. I was able to predict the weather without any help from the weatherman. I also had cats. Now if you have a cat, you already know that they sleep for most of the day, they get into trouble when you are trying to sleep, and they can also predict the weather. My cats never told me about the latter. They were more adept at allowing me to live in my house and to making me feed them. I had no clue that they were almost as good as my fancy-pansy wristwatch. 

If a cat sneezes, scratches, licks itself against the grain, or sleeps on it's back with it's mouth turned up, it means that some kind of weather is going to happen. So what if we got together some cats – maybe two or three – we could make them smell some pepper. We could offer them a cozy spot on the couch. We could also try tickling them with a feather to try to make them lick or scratch themselves. The idea behind this would be to create some kind of weather event that no human has ever seen before – never ever recorded in a Farmer's Almanac. We could create some kind of "supurrcell" blended with who-knows-what.

Humans Are Big Dumb Cats to Cats

1/14/2014

 
Picture
Meow, meow, meeeeww! Have you ever sweet talked your cat? Have you ever tried mocking your cat? Do you make purring sounds or chirping sounds just to see what your cat will do? If all of that sounds crazy, your cat must think you have mental problems. In fact, scientists agree.
