Himawari 8 Bot
posted March 2, 2017 #
Some might call it "another Twitter bot" but Jeremy Low's Himawari 8 Bot seems to be a step above. He takes a time lapsed dump of satellite imagery from the Japanese Meterological Agency's Himawari 8 weather satellite and has them compiled together on a Raspberry Pi before being tweeted out. The results are beautiful but the tiny subtle data errors are really what send it over the top for me - slight shifts in color, jpeg artifacts and glitching that reminds you robots are watching over us.
