I was born 1 hour north of the US boarder in Vancouver, Canada. Brian Hamlin my lovely husband a native Californian.
I came to the United States in 1995 on a student visa meaning I have had over 10 years of first hand ‘user-experience’ with this identity stuff in relationship to government.

I am getting really excited that we are gathering in Mountain View next week. It should be another great gathering.
Lots of projects have great developments since the last IIW in May and I can’t wait to learn all about the developments. We will get a taste of these developments on Monday [...]
I was just going through my cards and went to the Multi-Media Me. This post “Long Live Gnomedex!” was at the top and it cracked me up. He ran through some of the rumors about what would happen to the conference. This of course was my favorite.
Did you hear the one where Steve Gillmor, [...]
I was surfing around looking for people who had blogged about the IIW. I found this post by Sean Coon about Health Insurance. He had this lovely quote to start the post off: “If you’re self-employed, demand a really good health plan. and if your boss won’t listen, quit. That’ll show yourself.”

The word on the street is the iPhone is coming this winter. I am sooooooooooo excited. I [...]
