The trouble with location

January 29th, 2006

I’m preoccupied with location. There’s a quality of *being here* that just doesn’t creep into virtual representations or maps of physical space. In order to be meaningful, maps or other virtual representations need to be annotated by people capable of expressing a rich contextual appreciation of a space.In all this, my friends are expressing concern about my competence with regard to spatial navigation.

I submit some ridicule from Dionisis:

“Maya jogged me to death after waking me up with an sms at 9.15am on this brisk Sunday morning. I hope I will live to make it to our next relaxing event. It’s a good thing that we were running in a straight line but she lost her way for approximately 20 minutes so I got some rest walking. I drunk two Lucozades and got a taxi back home but have yet to recover fully”

Admit it Maya… you need a personal GPS navigator. Even though I personally think there must be an underlying reason that you get lost all the time and can\’t find your way. It\’s probably the sense of excitement of going to places where no one has been before (the consequences of which we know)…

Concerning portraying my comment as ridicule, I shall refrain from making any comment on that. It is absurd and un-true, as are the two Lucozades and the taxi ;-)
