Hello. My name's Andrew Wilson and I'm one of this months invited
contributors. I started in this direction - "locative media"? - in 2000
with a WAP site project called The Bus Stop Poems which was meant to be
"poems on the underground from anywhere in the world" and kept going.

For practical reasons I think I agree with that, just because there must
be more fun and enlightening things to invent with locative media (if
that's what it's called and whatever it is. Is there a definition of
that phrase anywhere?) than "watch out, they're behind you!"
