Meme Proposal | Tim * Audrey


This is so out of the norm.

Quite sweet I think. But don't really feel the romanticness of this proposal, I guess only the couple knows the joke or hidden meaning behind all the 9gag meme. :)

Gosh, these people are pushing the bar up...



Extras :)

[9Gag] SMRT used to be good, then they took an arrow to the knee.

My first 9gag post... :p

Random Notes on Encouragement

Sometimes, it takes just a "add", or "follow", or "add to circle" of those big shot personnel (from Google, Facebook, or even fellows from Silicon Valley) to motivate you and put the drives back to you.

I shall remind myself this.

Next time when I'm succeed in whatever I'm doing, I'll try my best to unconditionally give encouragement to the younger generations, and actively engage them to motivate them.

Google's Driverless Car



The project has evolved so much since the last time I checked (when it was still a DARPA challenge project).

Personally, I like this project very much. Maybe there will be people saying this project is a useless project, with the argument like, "if you are lazy, can just call a cab, take a bus...". But if you think of it carefully, Human makes mistakes, and road accidents are very costly mistakes. It cost not only your own life, and others' too!

And most accidents caused by long distance trips. Even if you are a cautious driver, if others are not careful enough, it will still affects you.

And its fantastic that Chris Urmson and his team made this autonomous system a "very considerate" AI. It slows down and make way for other drivers! Watch the video! ;)

One more note: I'm not a huge fan of driving. To me, driving is just to get from point A to point B. So, yeap, I'm a huge fan of Google's Driverless Car project :p
