Postcards from GorbyPuff
summary
Live demos use Cloud Vision to label landmarks (it returns "Fremont Troll" and lat/long), identify a wombat at 93% confidence, and OCR signage that yields locale JA for Japan before piping into Google Translate. BigQuery scans ~6–7GB of GSOD data to find the hottest day (May 4, 2000) — 102°F at a Mali station. Code runs via the G Cloud Ruby gem and the App Engine for Ruby is announced as beta, all shown working end to end.
