5 years of blogging

2:35AM. I landed few hours ago in Seattle, back from a successful week in Kuala Lumpur & Singapore , and of course I am totally jetlagged and I can't sleep at all. Hence I'll kill some time writing the customarily post I do every April for this feed's

I smuggled a neologism... or did I?

Back in October 2005, few weeks after I moved to the US, I wrote a blog post in which I introduced the idea of a collective name for the federated resources accessible to a company. One of the names I proposed was federnet . At the time I made a quick

Waiting for a physical copy...

...here there's the best approximation I found (short of a printout, of course, but that would be cheating:-) ). My wife just got a Sony ebook reader ; once we discovered it reads SD cards, we wanted to test it with a prerelease PDF of the book . Looks

Year's end blabbering: Omnidirectional Identities

On the Paris-Seattle flight, coming back after 2 weeks spent stuffing myself with all sorts of food with the excuse "after all, you can't find this in USA" :) Before hurling myself back in the vortex of daily work, and celebrate the end of the year with

My new Fujitsu U810

[warning: this post does not feature any identity related content, and it's probably useless] I feel for the UMPCs an unhealthy (walletwise) attraction, since the very moment they came out. In fact, if you dig in the early years of this blog you'll see

USB Pumpkin

[warning: this post contains 0% of your identity/connectedystems RDA (that is to say, no technical content whatsoever)] Well, in the last weeks (months?) I really worked on an extremely heavy schedule. This Saturday I felt like I needed to relax and do

[OT] The incredible care for details in Japan

This post is totally off topic: nothing to do with Identity, WS-*, Orcas, the cloud, technology in general or any of the usual subjects. I'm just sharing with you something I find pretty amazing :-) It's few months that I have this box on the counter,

Virtual Earth gets many new detailed maps (including Genova!)

When I was living in Italy, I looked with a bit of envy all those websites & services that worked just in the States. Once I moved to Redmond, everything started to work right away: traffic services on the smartphone, bird's eye imagery, 3D models...

Can I have 2 Kg. of SOA?

During this week in Singapore I visited many enterprise customers, and of course when you talk about WCF/WF/CardSpace the three letter word that begins with "S" and ends in "OA" eventually come up. For enphatizing my position "SOA is an Architecture,

Sleepy in Singapore...

...and here there's photographic proof. In the below picture I am testing the theory for which if you expose yourself to natural light you fool the circadian cycle into believing you're not really entitled to feel drowsy. This night my old friend sleeptracker

I've got the power!

That is to say, my router works/all my battery powered gadgets are recharging/the food moved back from the balcony to the refrigerator/I don't havt to do the most trivial activities at the light of pieces of swag gathered in my years of showing up at

The Medley

Almost one year ago the web space that was hosting all my blog images (since 2003) somehow lost all of them, so for about one year my past musings were nicely decorated by red "x" all over the place. This evening I finally took the time to go through

Identity Theft: The Michelle Brown Story

When something is part of your daily experience, it's really hard to think that for somebody else it could be uncommon or even bizarre. For some of my American friends it is really hard to imagine that somebody may not know what Fred Mayer is (<ItalianCaption>Una

Please wait for your seat to reboot...

In the last year I really spent an amazing amount of time on airplaines, flying around the globe to pursue my mission: evangelize, evangelize, evangelize! :-) A couple of times, always with the same airline, the onboard entertainment system showed a weird
