I’ll be giving a brief presentation on HyperScope this Thursday at the Planetwork Forum, 6-9pm at Stanford University (450 Serra Mall, Building 460, Room 126). The event is free, and the other talks look great as well: (L6D) Kaliya Hamlin on user-centric identity. (L6E) Johannes Ernst on OSIS. (L6F) Lauren Gelman on [...]
While we were waiting for the OSIS session to start this past Monday at the Identity Open Space, Owen Davis told us about a study he had read claiming that only 20 percent of people understand irony. Upon hearing this, Joaquin Miller shared this great joke: (L69) A linguistics professor was teaching his class, [...]
As I’ve said before, I bookmark a lot of Nancy White‘s blog entries. She’s one of the most insightful thinkers and practitioners on collaboration I know. This morning, she posted a wonderful piece (and picture) on joy: (L65) You see, I have been working really hard the last few months, in a time of [...]
Congratulations to Kaliya Hamlin, aka Identity Woman, for winning the Digital ID World yearly award this past week. You’ve likely met Kaliya, although you may not know much about her. In short, Kaliya is one of the most unique individuals I’ve ever met, and she’s a template for how to be successful in life. The [...]
It’s once again time for my semi-regular digression from your regularly scheduled program. My friend, Elbert, wrote me this gem about the Dodgers’ brutal loss to the Cubs last night: (L5Y) I think I read somewhere that when you have two less errors than your opponent, you win around 80% of the time. Dodgers [...]

Two things worth mentioning now. First, i-names have officially launched. A lot of folks purchased i-names through the Identity Commons fundraiser way back when, and those will [...]
I wanted to thank the HyperScope dev team for all their hard work these past six months, so I presented them all with T-shirts at the party. On the front is an Alan Kay quote: (L5M) “The best way to predict the future is to create it.” (L5N) Here’s the back: (L5O) [...]
Thanks to all of you who came to the HyperScope Release Party on Tuesday night, and many thanks to Jack Park and Adam Cheyer of SRI for hosting, and to Jeff Rulifson for picking up the first round of drinks at Oasis. Some photos are up, with more to come and hopefully some video as [...]
Last March, I announced the HyperScope project. Six months later, I’m proud to announce the release of HyperScope v1.0. More information is available from the HyperScope web site. (L5E) We’re throwing a little release party at SRI in Menlo Park tomorrow night to celebrate, and it looks like we’re going to have a great [...]
Those who follow my blog regularly know how much I respect, admire, and occasionally collaborate with Gail Taylor. Some of her stories have trickled onto this blog, but they represent only a fraction of the thinking that she has helped inspire. Gail and her co-conspirator at Tomorrow Makers (and son), Todd Johnston, have been long-time [...]
