It is going to be a wonderful event that moves from a Networking social hour put on by the Urban Alliance for Sustainability to [...]
I have been using NetNewsWire since I began reading blogs. The trouble is that it is WAY SLOW. Does anyone have a not slow client side mac RSS reader they like?
I can’t stand what I have now it takes like 5 seconds to move from one post to the next. I know I have a [...]
I just got a pitch from the Spring Ambassador program for a free phone and free calling and data for 6 months. I am like cool (some how I have landed as a tech somebody cause only those folks get free phone offers). I can transfer the number that is only good in [...]

I would like to ask you all a question – What do you want and need out of my blogging? This morning I have been writing relatively short context sensitive posts.
One person has contacted me and tole me that they ‘have no idea what I am talking about’ and there are not enough [...]
Apparently MS seems to think we are about 5 yrs ahead of time using 10 hour fuel cell batteries or something in our laptops.
There are literally NO power bar outlets in the seating area of the entire 1300 person auditorium for keynotes. The walls on either side are ‘flexiwalls’ so no power from them. [...]
I am at Mix06 and it seems that I missed a Vegas moment at the show. This relates to my experience this morning I was treated to women serving men cocktails while gambling in the lobby of the conference hotel and my hotel wearing nothing but bathing suits with skirts. Perhaps this was in jest. [...]
Some how Microsoft didn’t get that conferences these days – even the most ’structured and programmed’ ones have wiki’s to help folks organize and connect.
I have found the third party wiki for the conference.

It seems to me that their language regarding those of us who use their stuff – customers. Individuals who buy stuff most notably not creators.
All the people who come to your website are coming there to ‘do business with you’ according to the browser guy. Not to join, participate, cooperate, create, etc.
Technorati [...]
During Gates Keynote he brought up the guys from myspace to talk about how they have used ASP.NET to scale well. They are also building a photo ‘gadget’ (in Apple land we call these widgets I think).that is just like 1001 for flickr. As they were leaving the stage – Marc Canter [...]
So there was a whole little section on identity within the workshop. Sxip submitted a paper about all the requirements of an identity system and then proceeded to just pitch their own ’solution’. I am sorry that Eve Malers paper Observations on Distributed Authentication and Authorization in Web Applications was not given air [...]
Last week for two days I was at the W3C workshop on usability and authentication. It was hosted at the top of a citibank building in Brooklyn. We had to present ID at the door to get upstairs.
The room was a very long rectangle room with three presentation screens and 2 giant columns. It [...]

So we are getting BBC’s pitch for how great DRM is. It all sounds so nice and warm and fuzzy.
I really enjoyed David Berlind’s whiteboard session on C.R.A.P. – Content, Restriction, Annulment, and Protection.
You can drag and drop stuff to share with friends. Does the BBC have yet another friends list of mine? [...]

Trusted ID – I can pay them to pay experian and the credit agencies not to sell my data. It seems like an interesting business model.
Apparently form talking to congress things the finacial system is “working just fine” and they don’t [...]
So, right now they only way to verify that I own an account online “that I am who I am” is giving a third party the login to my account.
I want myAPI a secondary login for making assertions of ownership of an account as well as access to data in that account – like [...]
This piece on the Intention Economy by Doc is really great. It speaks to what I see as the subtle convergence of ideas from communities that I belong to. In spiritual activist world intention is a big deal “what is your intention” is not an infrequent question or frame invited around self reflection.
The [...]
I just had a fun time at SXSW. One of the highlights was getting a wearable girl ‘t’ for the first time ever. Matt “mr. wordpress” was handing them out at Bar Camp Austin. (normally when you get girl teas they are ‘way to tight’ for my body architecture – so I have [...]

I am staying with Liz Lawley and shared it with me. Guy gets lots of credit card applications mailed to him. He decides to run and experiment. He rips one of them up tapes it back together then puts his parents address [...]

Today on the internet html links are [...]
More thoughts on improving this game that arose while at etech. I would like to know who paid to be on stage. It is like google ads – the real search results are on one side and the ads are on the other. We should know who is buying our attention for how much. [...]
The first full day of ‘conference’ opened with the best ‘emerging tech’ we were to see all day. It was a late addition to the program and happened because Tim saw him at TED. (so much for the submission process). Jeffery Han shared the touch table interface for the computer. This [...]
Ao the physical space situation here at etech is horrible. The rooms are too small – it is not only sold out but over sold. We are sitting in the isles and standing 2 deep at the back of the room. Here is a summary of the current issues and some [...]
I would like to have office hours. What would these look like.
Friday from 11-2 this friday I have time to have ‘calls’ with people. They could either be one-on-one on pending items or a group of people who want to collectively come and pop in. I would like to publish my ‘office [...]
I just met Alex Jacobs this morning. He told me within hours his new protocol for identity would be live within hours. It is now live.
It uses e-mail addresses (like so many sites) but users only have to authenticate their e-amil once.
How it works

I just got into San Diego for eTech. I am in a very enjoyable tutorial by the Adaptive Path guys on Designing Web 2.0 applications.
The prime insight is that they are both informational hypertext systems and applications with a software interface. One must look at this duality throughout the development of the site [...]
This appeared on Boing Boing today. It speaks to the huge problem that we have now with all these electronic transactions and the security around them.

Password Security: What Users Know and What They Actually Do posted on Bruce Schneier’s blog.
The finding that participants in the current study use such simplistic practices to develop passwords is supported by similar research by Bishop and Klein (1995) and Vu, Bhargav & Proctor (2003) who found that even with the application of password [...]

This is just and amazing collection of network pictures.
What do your customers want? Make sure you ask them before you make assumptions. Look at this and its implications:
