I might be on google
What am I talking about… Everyone is already on google. I guess if you are not on google, you do not exist. But I digress.
I might be on Google Maps Street view. Right about there…
I was following along my usual route back home when I saw this car with a contraption on it. It looked something like this… I have heard rumors of Google street view cars being sighted in Singapore over the past few months but this was my first encounter. Unfortunately, It was pretty much late in the evening and am not sure if google will upload evening images to the street view (maybe some king of Time of day effect, a la Google earth feature might find its way into the repository).
Streetview car
I am amazed by the amount of preparatory work that goes on to bring information to the consuming masses. With each forward step, we seem to generally forget that there are giant leaps and bounds of advancement that enable the move forward. Reminders like this makes on stop and think for a moment.
It is really cool and we have to thank people’s effort to bring information to us consuming masses. And it would be even cooler to be part of the information matrix in the street view. Maybe I should extend my influence over a good friend of mine who works in Google to get myself published

You were a little late. The Entire Google Singapore office was lining the street at 8 Shenton way on the afternoon of 20th Jan. Had I known your interest, I would have tipped you off and you could’ve conveniently, nonchalantly walked by.

Just a bit of ego surfing there. Will look forward to your mug when the street view gets updated
