Wow. I would never have thought that my first post after IIW wouldn’t come until Catalyst. I’ve been absolutely absorbed in my work with Angelsoft, as we’re releasing Version 3.0 of the platform on August 1st (and it is going to be SICK!). Fortunately, I’ve got a little more time now that we’re out of […]
There’s no place like home. When I walked in the door this morning after taking the red-eye back from Mountain View, my 6 month-old daughter squealed with delight, turned to her mom, and immediately forgot who I was again–stupid baby. There is also, however, no place like the Internet Identity Workshop. With […]
Okay. So when I last posted I was waiting for my SSL cert to get installed and I left to enjoy the rest of the day with my wife and daughter. Good choice, as there were still a fair number of obstacles ahead of me. When I returned from my walk, the […]
Boy, I must REALLY be insane. Below is picture of this BEAUTIFUL spring day here in NYC, my wife and baby are in the park playing, and I’m sitting on my balcony trying to install the Pamela Project on my blog. The odds are stacked against a glowing review, as iCards are still […]
Just a note to remind everyone that IIW is just around the corner (1 week from Monday!). This is THE event for the Identity community and just about anyone who’s doing anything in the space will be there. If you are thinking about getting involved or want to understand why User-Centric Identity may […]
I spent a couple of hours on the phone with Doc yesterday as he ran back and forth across the Harvard campus, where he’s currently a fellow at the Berkman Center. The conversation was as frenetic and wide-ranging as his movements (from his personal past, through VRM, to the meaning of the modern day […]
At the IDtrust Symposium in Maryland, Drummond just presented a paper about how the XRI/XDI support in OpenID can be used to avoid some of the more wicked hacks necessary for some of the richer functionality in the OpenID 2.0 spec. The paper is an interesting read and now public here:

For an overview of […]
I’ve been intending to write about iCards next, but Paul and Kim have yet to get back to me. Since I just got out of the OpenID panel at SXSW, I’ll go ahead and cover the panel. Beware–This is going to be a long one.
I actually made my way through the labyrinth that is […]
Hey all,
I’m going to be at SXSW interactive Sunday through Tuesday this year. The company I manage (www.angelsoft.net) is the software provider to about 300 angel investment groups around the world and on Friday we’re releasing a way for entrepreneurs to apply to an open deal space where our investors can pull deals from […]
Drummond pointed me to the latest XDI RDF model for those who’d like to go a little deeper. You can get it at: http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xdi/XdiRdfModel
It’s very similar to the original concept, but more in line with current technology trends.
Over the past couple of months I’ve been relatively immersed (relatively only because I work full-time building a company and have a 3-month old daughter) in understanding some of the trends that are coming together to define the next generation of the internet. I didn’t start out with the goal of understanding trends. […]
For someone who’s spent the last three years building a company that connects entrepreneurs and angels, I’ve been remarkably out of what’s been happening in boom 2.0. This is partly because I’ve been busy building a company (and a marriage… and a home… and a daughter), but I think it’s deeper than that. […]
