New Web Identity with PersonCode?

By Ryan Stephenson | Published: May 26, 2006

Hans shares some details of his PersonCode idea, along with a scenario tying profile details between sites for mashup potential. Issues I have with the landscape right now: A consistent and private identifier has still not been adopted. Hans calls out MicroID as the closest conceptually, though it doesn’t appear to extend much past validating [...]

I switched my DNS records tonight to allow Google for domains to take over email for nopaper.net. We’ll see if the propagation completes in time for the morning spam (tastes better than coffee). If I’m lucky, I’ll have Google snooping managing my email when I wake up, and the data lost to the void between [...]

Half-life Headcrab

By Ryan Stephenson | Published: May 9, 2006

Sean wins so far for the most evil birthday present. You may all still enter the contest at anytime. This headcrab, while smaller than the ones I remember, still reminds me too much of creeping around the Black Mesa research facility, fearing zombification. I had to seal it back inside its box for the night, [...]
