Random Thoughts and Reactions [2015/4/17]


1. After playing Snapshot Serengeti, playing Chicago Wildlife Watch is quite boring...no exciting animals...and most of the times, I am just marking people and cars. But still documenting and studying urban ecology is still important.


*oh, a standing squirrel...

2. Quora is an awesome tool to ask and answer questions but often we see questions that are obviously written by too lazy people who cannot or refuses to use Google or Wikipedia.

3. Ideas sound good when you talk among friends but instantly face sudden death when we try to write it down and work out the details.....Oh why....does it only sound good in my head.


*This is how I feel like when my ideas are actually examined...
*From  Wikipedia entry

4. Do not fear because the Lord is with You :D

5. When investing always think of the downside, what could go wrong.

Unintended Consequences: Couple Caught in Chicago Wild Life Project Camera

We have seen a lot of weird things caught on Google Street view.

Today I ran across an intimate moment photo while categorizing animals for the Chicago Wild Life Project powered by Zooniverse.

Zooniverse helps research projects through crowdsourcing and one of the projects that it is helping is the categorization of the Chicago fauna.

I have been supporting Zooniverse for some months and try to do some categorization whenever I am
too tired to work or bored. Today, I ran into this image.

Yup, in the right bottom corner, you can see the couple having an intimate time. Nothing "R" rated but I just thought it was funny, unintended consequences. Yes, watch out for those cameras ^^



P.S.
This is a public area and I am sure the scientists got the permission to install cameras so I don't see any legal issues.
