Weekend Reading: Exploring Zanzibar, Singapore of the Future, & Watching Basketball
December 1, 2018 • #🇹🇿 Exploring Zanzibar with Mapillary
A fun travel post from the Mapillary team after FOSS4G in Dar es Salaam. A drive around Zanzibar collecting images for OpenStreetMap mapping. Also check out part 2 of the journey.
🇸🇬 City of the Future: Singapore
Singapore is an interesting experiment: a benevolent authoritarian government, small population, and limited geography to leverage and nurture. This documentary is a bit of a commercial for their plans for the future. Still some fun ideas that (if successful) other megacities could use to maintain quality of life with population growth.
🏀 How to Watch Basketball
This was a great explainer. I’ve only been seriously watching basketball a couple of years, and I was starting to figure out some of these techniques myself. It’s interesting to see how coaches and professional analysts approach watching a game.
