Scoble Knows

In response to my question about how Future Salon’s Identity Meeting had gone, Robert Scoble just sent me a link to Niall Kenedy’s amazing full report. The blogsphere still blows my mind.

Last night I attended a Future Salon presentation about digital and online identities. The event was hosted at SAP in Palo Alto.
Eric [...]

Brilliant writing on the wall..

While perusing the Future Salon, I came across something which I have to call a must-see. To quote the futurists:

ACLU has an excellent video clip out that beautifully crystallizes what is at stake with you and your Identity

This is a brilliant communications work by Micah Laaker of Sedapa, who founded his agency “with [...]

Bay Area Future Salon Does Identity

A group of Bay Area futurists had a meeting on Identity this week called, “Who am I? Your identity online and beyond.” (Details here). The organizers were familiar with the Laws of Identity.
It featured Eric Sachs from Google, Jeff Hodges from Liberty Alliance, and Fen Labalme from Identity Commons. Does anyone who [...]

Taking the Id out of Identity

Doc Searls, Editor of Linux Journal, has written a note pointing people to this conversation.

Kim’s work would be remarkable in any case. The fact that he does it for Microsoft is especially portentious — in a positive way. Kim has always been a tireless advocate for heterogeneity, inclusiveness and interoperability. Given that fact, [...]

James Governor

My reference last week to Governor James should have been to James Governor - which just goes to show I’m a dyslexic colonial. But I’m proud of it.
Thanks Governor - I mean James.

James Kobielus

Now that I have FeedDemon, I’ve been able to catch up on what’s happening in some more blogs. Where should I start?
James Kobielus has been doing some interesting stuff. You may remember we had a little spat where he bonked me for my “cypherpunk ways”. Is there such a thing as a [...]

FeedDemon Is Just Too Cool

Thanks to Jamie Lewis, who recommended it highly, I’ve started to use FeedDemon by Nick Bradbury. Probably everyone in the world knows about this product except me, but I thought I would mention it because it has made my life so much easier (yes, my friends, and better!).
I had a wierd experience installing it [...]

Let’s watch our connotations

Again, I need to quote Jamie verbatim:

Since Kim Cameron now has me “hovering” over the laws of identity, I figure I better get busy and find some new hairs to split. (I’ve never been compared to a starship before, and I’m not sure exactly what it means, but it’s the best compliment I’ve had in [...]

Break The Law and Unification Goes Down The Drain

Late-breaking news from William Heath of Ideal Government:

That list of companies you cite is serious evidence of the growing political risk in the UK of making the wrong choice on identity architecture. The list comes from an activist group whose brainstorm of ideas includes card burnings, occupations, targeting companies, electronic disruption / hacking, graffiti etc. [...]

UK ID cards…

Here (thanks to Ideal Government) is a piece from the UK where Sarah Arnott advises forgetting about the proposed brick and mortar ID Card and instead concentrating on a government-issued electronic identity. Sarah thinks a single identity is sufficient for everything. She also says:

It is unlikely that ‘function creep’ will inaugurate a Big [...]
