Discovery magazine had this article online addressing the ‘age depression‘ we might have created with our modern educational system. It is interesting to think about how extreme specialization can also lead to immaturity in other aspects of life. I was thinking about it and wondered if WoW and other quest like games might [...]
Last weekend there as the first official Ruby on Rails Conference in Chicago. OpenID, Rails and Identity 2.0: Building and Cultivating an Identity Ecosystem. was presented by Matt Pelletier owner of EastMedia a Ruby development shop in NYC that has done a lot of the coding for the Verisign PIP And Kiran [...]
I had a rather intense awakening to how different the east and west coast are culturally this week.
It seems that on the east coast when people make introductions to other people they have more of a sense of ‘ownership’ of the connection being made. I learned this from talking to a wise [...]
This past weekend although at home I spent quite a bit of time in Freenode IRC channels for BarCamp and BloggerCon. There were all these weird messages popping up in the corner of my screen – now I know why….
The world’s largest FOSS IRC network, FreeNode, has been (for lack of a better word) [...]
This is interesting how technology can actually help the homeless from Wired.
Helping the homeless get e-mail addresses has been a priority for years at shelters across the country. And in an age when most every public library in the nation offers internet access, the net has proven a perfect communication tool for those without a [...]
People will not pay extra for wifi but they will go to the places that have it more often. This is true for coffee shops and it would be true for planes. It is a market advantage to offer the service free. I write this cause I am reading that Boeing wants [...]
I just found out about the Digital Media Conference that happened in DC on Friday. I am looking at it and wondering – do they (east coasters) live in a totally different reality then we do in California?
The only user generated video on the list is Google Video and You Tube. They have [...]
I just thought I should let you all know that the price for the Identity Open Space (July 20-21) goes up after tomorrow. So book your hotel and buy a ticket to come to the event. Just cause your name is on the wiki is not good enough. Let others know too.
So today I gave in and got a login to the New York Times. Of course I lied about who I was and what I did. I really don’t like that they want me to identify myself every time I want to look at one of there articles. It is another case [...]
I am deeply conflicted – Standards for users is happening at BloggerCon the same tim as Who Owns You at SuperNova.
So for both “”panels”” I though I would share that this week there were three major developments within the identity sector towards convergence around standards.
i-names global services launched
OpenID 2.0 clarified
and OSIS was formed A [...]
I am writing this whole post on the lovely highway style bus that runs a block from my house and takes 1/2 an hour to get into San Francisco. It is free today cause it is a ’spare the air day.’ I am going to SuperNova and will be blogging on their [...]
Tomorrow the 20th of June at 7pm we are opening the global registry for i-names. This was announced a few weeks ago by the XDI.org board. There will be 7 initial ibrokers 6 of whom are opening there doors tomorrow. There is a great site explaining i-names broadly for people and [...]
So today we had someone from Second LIfe talk on the reputation at the identity mashup. I decided to go to SL and start an Identity Gang there so we can have ‘in world meetings’. To join just go to Second Life and search in groups for Identity Gang and join! We need [...]
here is the address for the webcast for keynotes…

Landing in in Cambridge at Harvard today for the start of the ‘identity Mashup‘. The experience of east coast norms of ‘elitism’ have been something that I have had to acclimatize to as I come out here to go to events and conferences. It also is something that rubs up against my “west coast” [...]
One of the most impressive things that I saw at the Organizers Collaborative Conference was the Citizen Action Team. In the wake of Katrina they build a Ruby on Rails Database to match donors offerings of help to groups and institutions who need help. The demoed the database and it was [...]
I had a good time yesterday at the Organizers Collaborative Conference. I presented about the coming identity layer – sharing at a high level i-brokers, profile management and how people might manage their relationships with multiple civil society organizations. Two of my peers Jo Lee and Rob Stuart – long time participants in [...]
I have not finished blogging about Catalyst last week…(I still have the review of the last night of hospitality suites to do among a few others). Mark has done an astounding job of capturing the content of the conference in these two summary posts.
Day One
Day Two
It is very worth reading.
I got to meet Mark for the first time last week at the Burton group. He has totally impressed me with this aggregate list in table form of the identerati. check to see if you are on it – if you are not and want to be just e-mail him. It is an amazing [...]

The Hospitality suites were once again fun this year. I thought I would hand out some ‘awards’:
I think First Prize goes to Novell for their Star Trek theme. The whole room was spacey covered in fabric with pinpoints of light. They had live spacy groovy yet ambient music. I have a 1 [...]
On the serious side of his talk here at Catalyst Mike N. put forward an understanding of market forces Identity as a Commons. Looking at the how the vendors none of whom can capture the plain have staked out positions in the mountains.
Along those lines one of the topics we will talk [...]
Mike Neuenschwander gave a GREAT performance this morning. Last year he destroyed a guitar on stage and assured us that it had a good life in guitar heaven. This year he brought us THE WORD: Managization. I captured it using my camera’s video function. You can check it out over on my [...]
This morning’s opening session at Catalyst was great.
Jamie talked about a range of issues including the Inconvenient truths.
That stronger authentication by itself will not make us more secure. All Authentication is dependent on assurance that is a human process and is vulnerable to low tech attacks.
He highlighted the fact that identity [...]
Walking into the Hilton Hotel where the Burton Group Catalyst Conference is this morning was very unpleasant.
These young people in their 20s some with bullhorns and some thrusting flyers towards people walking in where ‘from the union’ letting us know that the hotel was under boycott and that we should turn around and not go [...]
I got to learn all about the Liberty People Service proposed spec. yesterday at their workshop. I was hoping I would just get to understand more about enterprise federation stuff. However I was very excited to see that it might be very helpful as a viable privacy protecting meta social network standard. At the conference [...]
Yesterday I checked into the Burton Group Catalyst conference and was impressed from the get go. They have blessed us with a box (instead of yet another cloth bag) containing the schedule and all the different ‘invitations‘ to the hospitality suites on on Wednesday and Thursday. They are super fun way better then [...]
So, I went to VloggerCon and what does one do when one goes to a cutting edge technology conference espousing yet another cutting edge technology – one learns enough to ‘get it’ and dive in. So I began video blogging on Blip.tv I did two posts today on identity. I started out with a [...]
My faith in humanity was re-affirmed today at VloggerCon I am surfing around while listening to the ‘net neutrality session.’ I found that the anarchitect had used a Flickr Photo I posted of a community garden in NYC. I love Flickr and the power of sharing (it is nice to get credit for [...]
There was one good talk that I went to at VloggerCon that is worth sharing some information about here… The difference between video blogs and other formats.
Video get decontextualized – once it is out there it roams around
The display is smaller
It is bandwidth dependent
The audience control – they can decide what to watch and [...]
Doc just posted his Market 2.0 talk from Rebot. It is a great run down of the situation we face in understanding markets.
I just got this note from a friend…it sucks. The government is ours not the phone companies but some how they are doing this.
REMINDER….16 days from today, all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sale calls. YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS! To prevent this, [...]
If you haven’t heard of geek entertainment television you should check it out. I made it on to one of their latest episodes. “What is the Square Root of Net” from the Net Squared conference. Of course my answer to the question was ‘identity’… I am the second to last on the [...]
I am getting ready for an exciting next few weeks and busy summer. Here is the plan. I have posted all of these on my sidebar in the where I will be section.
Saturday(10) and Sunday(11) coming up is VloggerCon.
On Monday(12) I am going to stop by the Liberty Alliance Web Services informational meeting – [...]
My Friend Gregory Heller and company founded Defective by Design to ‘fight’ the scourge of DRM plaguing the land. June 10th will be their next ‘day of action’ descending on Apple stors in NYC, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle and Plano to warn apple costomers of the dangers of DMR in iTunes Apple [...]
This Identity Open Space is being jointly produced by Liberty Alliance and a group of people who are leading participants in the Internet Identity Workshop. We hope to provide attendees with a highly interactive format in which to explore the topic of user-centric identity. (((This is NOT the next IIW that Workshop2006b will be [...]
