Cloud OCR

It’s another project from everest pipkin! This time it’s about reading clouds.

It works by grabbing the Google Streetview imagery for a chosen location, looking up, and then running optical character recognition on the resulting photo. To say that this is an unexpected way to appreciate clouds is perhaps an understatement: we often talk about seeing patterns in the clouds, but reading them as text is a twist worthy of BLDGBLOG.

What have the clouds been trying to communicate to us? Look up: what staccato typewritten message is passing unnoticed overhead?
