So, a couple of my recent excursions up into the great city of San Francisco have involved rather nerdy things.
Tahoe Hackfest
A couple weeks ago I attended the Allmydata.org Hackfest (5th in a series, as I understand it). Zooko and Brian Warner hosted a few people at the allmydata.org offices and fed them pizza and [...]
The news today in Missouri reminds me again that identity issues online are really just the same things we’ve always dealt with in person.
A fake-officer convinced a small town for 5 months that he was a federal agent.
How does this happen? A sustained message of fear for years and the repeated mantra of trust [...]
It’s almost June. Wow.
The last month and a half have really been a blur. Let’s see if we can work out why…
PARC
I met Ed Chi at ASIST last October when he hijacked a panel with his very interesting work on WikiDashboard. I had seen the work already and knew enough about it [...]
Over a month ago (how did that happen already?), I attended the iConference at UCLA and had a great time. I spent three nights and four days in a blur of activity and ideas. Over my time in Los Angeles, I visited Kinko’s twice, generated three presentations, gave three presentations, and had fancy [...]

I was there to present our work on the MPACT project at UNC-Chapel Hill and how it relates to the sticky world of [...]
Tagged cni, code4lib, dc, mpact, travelAll of my adult life, I’ve been information-rich. I am fairly social and keep in touch with friends over time. I know my way around a computer. I understand how the internet works. I have been able to help many people find what they were looking for and I’m usually well [...]

Social Graph Foo Camp
Feb 1-3, 2008 - O’Reilly Campus, Sebastopol, CA
Attending for myself and for claimID - this will be my first Foo Camp. I’m excited to meet some of the names I’ve been reading/watching for some time. [...]
This week (and a little of last month) - MicroID has made some major progress.
MyOpenID
First, I see that MyOpenID has implemented MicroID. Excellent implementation. They allow you a lot of control over how your information should be shared - and with your confirmed email addresses, they publish MicroID for others to be able [...]

- Lots of people post things to social network sites.
- Some of these things are private (friends/family type of private).
- The users understand and follow the rules, and protect themselves.
- There is a bug in the system.
- Their private stuff is now available to anyone.
- Someone grabs the [...]
