Hello, I have just participated in an interesting two-day workshop on Designing for Forgetting and Exclusion at UCLA funded by NSF. Many thanks to the organisers, Michael Curry, Leah Lievrouw and Jean-François Blanchette, for asking me to participate. I spoke around my position paper, 'Do we need an ethics of forgetting in a world of digital "memories for life"'. I hope this project develops further.

I am currently in San Francisco getting set for the AAG meeting that starts on Tuesday. I have co-organised two different sessions,

• Google Earth as the 'view from nowhere': The spatial politics of high resolution satellite imagery
• Software and Space

cheers,
martin
