Blogs are simply great. Through a track-back link to the this blog I found Andrew Otwell's review of Malcolm McCullough's book "Digital Ground".

Among many other thoughts I have to chew on, he explains "situated software" a little differently, making it not quite a synonym with "situational software" as we use the term. In our parlance, the driver is a "situation", which may be attached to a physical location, but often is not. Witness Gerry Purdy's accountant example, which is not tied to any particular physical location. McCullough talks much more about technology being "part of" or "inside" something, which, by definition, is tied to a particular object.
