My attempt to build software with a sense of place

How my Hudson Valley projects have gotten me thinking about how to imbue software with local flavor.

The field of media ecology can inform how we think about using software to reinforce a sense of place.

Can software feel rooted in the place where it was made?

The original conference talk I gave about Digital Terroir introduced many of the ideas I'm still thinking about, from software & place to the dangers of monoculture.

Is it possible to build software that respects and reinforces a “sense of place,” rather than regressing to some placeless, generic style?
