Placing Culture: Geotagging photos
http://placingculture.blogspot.com/2010/05/geotagging-photos.html
Tuesday, May 25, 2010. If a picture is worth a thousand words, as the adage goes, than what is a geotagged photo worth? Priceless. What is a "geotagged photo" you might ask.well, in borrowing shamelessly from wikipedia:. So that's geotagging in a nutshell. Now why do I consider it priceless? Data, or data that are collected on location (as opposed to data collected remotely, such as aerial photographs and satellite images). Ground truthed data are important as they improve the accuracy of one's analy...

Placing Culture: Visualizing Disaster: Remote Sensing, Boundaries, and Invisibility
http://placingculture.blogspot.com/2011/03/visualizing-disaster-remote-sensing.html
Thursday, March 31, 2011. Visualizing Disaster: Remote Sensing, Boundaries, and Invisibility. 8221; Confronted with a very different series of concatenated disasters—an earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear plant explosion—I believe that critical geographers should ask different questions, ones about how the boundaries between visibility, invisibility, and legibility are mediated remotely through satellite imagery.

http://placingculture.blogspot.com/2011/02/introducing-techniques-tutorials.html
Saturday, February 12, 2011. Some of the impediments to becoming proficient with GIS and remote sensing for many people is the complexity of the software systems, and time necessary to follow the learning curve. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Through this blog I try to provide some insights into how evolving cartographic tehnologies and methods are increasingly mediating our understanding of the myriad interrelations between culture and place.

Placing Culture: February 2011
http://placingculture.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 24, 2011. Social Media, Resistance, and PPGIS. For those with an interest in the intersections of evolving forms of social media, geospatial technologies, place, and culture the recent wave of protests sweeping the Middle East is of particular interest. Similarly, as I note in the above passages, given that social connections are em-placed, even within cyberplace, we should expect geospatial web applications as the obvious next social stone in the proverbial slingshot. A recent art...

Killed eleven crewmen; the fire was could not be extinguished and on April 22nd the rig sank, leaving the well gushing, resulting in the largest off-shore oil spill in United States history. First, what are the media through which we are increasingly coming to remotely know this expanding place that is the disaster area? Due to the spatial and tempo...

Friday, October 29, 2010. Localisation, Participation and Communication PGIS. This great video was posted by Giacomo Rambaldi on the PPGIS. Here is the description from the blog:. The 25-min educational video documentary (see link below) introduces the practice of participatory spatial information management and communication (PGIS) in the development context. It has been designed to introduce development practitioners (technology intermediaries) to the practice of demand-driven PGIS. Links to this post.

Friday, June 25, 2010. Evolving Data Server Solutions. Many are interested in the intersection of geospatial technologies, place, and culture because of the power that maps have for telling stories about the relationships between people and the places they inhabit and transform. That is certainly one reason I´m continually fascinated by this subject. However, if once produced a map simply sits in a dusty filing cabinet than what good is it? High-end (in terms of both financial expenditure and tehnologica...
