Word reaches me that Dennis King, one of my favourite commenters, put this blog on the big screen at the ISCRAM 2008 conference. I was supposed to be there this year, but once again wasn’t able to make it. So to anybody visiting this blog from ISCRAM, welcome - I hope you find it somewhat useful, and I promise there’ll be some more substantial posts later this week! I hope the conference goes well - why aren’t any of you liveblogging it?

In the meantime, you might be interested to read a blog post called Mapping Genocide: Google Earth and Darfur - it’s a well-researched, well-written introduction to some of the recent developments in online mapping for human rights. It’s not without problems, though, and so I think that’s what I’ll write about later this week… so you’d better come back, eh?
