The new announced Information Card Foundation has nine community board members, and I’m pleased to report they all have a keen sense of humor. Case in point: Pam Dingle’s bio on the Board of Directors page:
Pamela Dingle
Pamela Dingle is an Enterprise Identity Consultant at Nulli Secundus Inc . She is also the founder of [...] Read More...

If you haven’t heard of VRM (Vendor Relationship Management) yet, you will soon. Not that it will be an overnight phenomena - that’s one of the points Joe Andrieu makes in his mini-FAQ about VRM. But read Joe’s post to see why in many ways the emergence of VRM is as inevitable — due to [...] Read More...

The Magic Include Shell took my blog offline and finally compelled me to move it to new hosting quarters, upgrade to WP 2.5.1, install a new theme, and add OpenID and information card support - all thanks to the magic of Stas Zubalevich at Parity.
If your WordPress suddenly goes wonky, I highly recommend this article [...] Read More...

I'm sitting in seat 20A of Delta flight 101 from Atlanta to Buenos Aires, catching up with the blogging backlog that built up during the RSA Conference. I usually compose my blog entries directly in Roller 's web UI, but, since there bain't be no Interweb up here, I'm using Flock 's built-in blog editor, and a very comfortable experience it is. I can type up the bulk of the text in the 'Editor' view, tweak formatting in 'Source' view and get a pretty good idea of how it will look in 'Preview', fiipping Read More...

Ryan Janssen has posted another interview in his series on digital identity, and I daresay that if you’ve ever met Doc Searls, you can just feel his energy and passion about VRM coming through in this writeup. Highly recommended reading. Doc has been right about many things, and ultimately I think VRM is going to [...] Read More...

Nowadays I find myself orienting my entire year around IIW (the Internet Identity Workshop). DO NOT miss it if you want to seriously intersect with the user-centric identity community. This year it will include a follow-on Data Sharing Summit on May 15, illustrating how the focus is slowly moving to the most important capability enabled [...] Read More...

Ryan Janssen pinged me via my contact page last week to ask if I had time to share the story of how I came to be working on XRI, XDI, OpenID, i-cards, Higgins, and Identity Commons. He reached me this afternoon and we talked for almost two hours. Boy, did it bring back memories. I’m [...] Read More...

Although I saw snippets when it first came out, I sat down tonight to watch An Inconvenient Truth end-to-end with my wife and two boys tonight, and I was blown away by how powerful a message it still delivers. In fact Al Gore has done an update that brings it current within about a year.
It’s [...] Read More...

Not only that a lot of people have been complaining about my funky ports, but by Internet provider also decided to start blocking the 8080 port. That's somewhat of a problem, since without this port my blog will not work. Sigh! I therefore decided to bite the bullet and start using a professional ASP.NET hoster. So please update your links and feed readers to my new blog address: HTML: http://blog.beuchelt.org/ Feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/WebServicesContraptions Thank you for your understanding.

Identity Woman (Kaliya Hamlin) posts about why current “friend formats” like FOAF and XFN don’t satisfy the need for privacy and personal control of data that she – and many other women – want before they are comfortable sharing personal information online.
She mentions that XRI and XDI provide this capability. Chris Messina comments that: As it [...] Read More...

Paul Madsen has done a nicely illustrated post on the taxonomy of i-cards supported by the Higgins project. He makes a great point about how SAML cards (”s-cards”) could fit in, both in terms of third-party cards and self-issued cards. As I posted previously, I’m excited about seeing SAML integrated into the Higgins framework.
My only [...] Read More...

I just noticed that Paul Madsen made a post about my recommendation that folks check out Joe Andrieu’s comments on the MS HealthVault announcement. Paul got my attention by titling his post, “Drummond, it’s Hailstorm“.
Just to clarify: I wasn’t recommending HealthVault. I was recommending Joe’s blog post about it, and most notably the large open [...] Read More...

Joe Andrieu, one of the leaders of the VRM (Vendor Relationship Management) community, has posted a good initial assessment of Microsoft’s first foray (post-Passport) of storing personal data for consumers via their Health Care Record initiative. It’s well worth reading his assessment of how this really legitimizes the market for “personal data stores”.
Since that’s one [...] Read More...

No, I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth. But this has been a summer of big transitions — big enough that it will take several posts to cover it all.
Yet on this, my first day “back to school”, I want to share the simple observation that the value of “vacation mind” is vastly [...] Read More...
