  1. Every time this topic comes up, I think of this. It will eventually backfire. But there will be much suffering before it does. https://twitter.com/LordPelagius/status/1466204500721602564

  2. Forgot to check phone for 4 hours today. Was 15 min late to my own meeting last night after confirming it an hour before. I have successfully broken my dependence on this device. The present is nice.

  3. Some things are worth the wait - like my steam shower. If you can’t go to the Korean spa - remake your home in the image of a Korean spa.

  4. Welcome to 29 Palms. It's currently a boom town. Please do not change us into the city you left, but do allow yourself to change in the person you can be here. https://hidesertstar.com/news/181492/a-locals-message-to-newcomers/

  5. Got my first academic citation notification - meaning someone cited Shifting Paradigms (me & @bobblakley 's cybersecurity+foresight paper) in theirs. So that's a milestone of sorts. There's still so much I want to do with that research...

  8. Making customer service calls this season? I try to be their best call of the day! Yes, I am annoyed & they are there to help me. Blame the tech! Corporate policies! Shippers! Supply chain! It's not the human's fault! Have fun, be compassionate & make it a good call for all!

  9. PS. This is one tactic of my "Calm and Drama Free" life practice. There's always drama, it's how you approach the drama & those trying to help you get over the challenges.

  10. @NurtureGirl what wait, are you saying there is no tragedy of the commons?!

    December 15, 2021 · reply to @NurtureGirl

  11. @NurtureGirl OK I'm curious... because I am a huge fan of the tragedy of the commons (and Ostrom) and also a fan of appropriate regulation. But what about the open desert space for coyote and quail and desert night skies? Are these not commons? Where is the unregulated market for dark skies?

  16. Love this place. And to kick off Santacon here is a dream come true. It’s not the first time we’ve been here, but it’s been many years. See you at Noon. #lasantacon #santarchy https://www.instagram.com/p/CXogmJEpbTw/?utm_medium=twitter

  18. It’s not a real Santacon unless you’re walking down Hollywood Blvd! Wow I really needed this. Maybe this is my life’s work.

    December 19, 2021

  23. Just passed 4 Rivians likely being delivered to California and almost jumped put of my seat. And then started thinking about how to buy one…. (meaning the income needed to buy one). Hmm@ #rivian https://www.instagram.com/heathervescent/p/CX9MN6Pvy3i/?utm_medium=twitter

  24. 700 miles. Driving was a dream. So was the steam shower and two gin and tonics down the hatch. There’s no place like home.

  25. I don't think the (big organization) private sector is going to like what I have to say about the future of digital identity in one of my scenarios.

    December 27, 2021

  26. @trbouma @ALL_CAPS Calling a little bs on that photo. What does the rest of the room look like? Is the chandelier properly centered in the room? Also, when was it remodeled? & what were the remodel requirements. Why is there this reset place? There are often reasons made for backward compliance.

    December 27, 2021 · reply to @trbouma

  27. @trbouma @ALL_CAPS Also, clearly they did a drop ceiling and looks like recessed lighting. I have so many remodeling questions.

  29. @niels_klomp @IdentityWoman @csuwildcat @kimdhamilton @SSI_Ambassador @kristinayasuda @Tykn_tech @casparroelofs @AnimoSolutions @wealizedigital @Alastria_ @BCcoalitionNL I personally think the web 1.0, 2.0, 3.0/semantic web, Industry 4.0, as an iterative paradigm is limiting. What we're trying to do is not iterate, but level up. It's not a new release, it's a new product.

  30. @csuwildcat @niels_klomp @IdentityWoman @kimdhamilton @SSI_Ambassador @kristinayasuda @Tykn_tech @casparroelofs @AnimoSolutions @wealizedigital @Alastria_ @BCcoalitionNL I'm pretty confident the catchy name is going to come from outside us insider identity people. (I did AJAX 5+ years before it was called AJAX, when we called it DHTML, so I've played this game.) We've drunk too much kool-aid, but sure, I'm game to play again.

  31. @niels_klomp @IdentityWoman @csuwildcat @kimdhamilton @SSI_Ambassador @kristinayasuda @Tykn_tech @casparroelofs @AnimoSolutions @wealizedigital @Alastria_ @BCcoalitionNL I have a pretty dark take on the co-opting of the "web 3.0" term. (I may have researched too much espionage and disinformation.) https://twitter.com/heathervescent/status/1473362388837560320

  32. Doing some serious research to put together my ideal yule log recipe. I'm thinking, chocolate sponge, brushed with amaretto, and a mascarpone based toasted coconut mousse filling.... or is that too much? Or should I also include toasted coconut and/or almonds in the filling?

  33. @IdentityWoman @csuwildcat @niels_klomp @kimdhamilton @SSI_Ambassador @kristinayasuda @Tykn_tech @casparroelofs @AnimoSolutions @wealizedigital @Alastria_ @BCcoalitionNL I don't disagree with you Kaliya. But I'm pragmatic in that we can't expect people to work together especially if they are product/profit based. Influence where you have power or find a role where you have the power to influence as you wish.

  34. @geminica LOL. I am wondering how to include a layer of nutella in this.

  36. The result of today’s studies and experiments. You can’t expect perfection from your first sponge roll can you? Maybe just taste perfection!

  39. Gonna enjoy the calmness of the last week of 2021, because I think 2022 is going to have a lot more action, maybe even an airplane trip or three. (I haven't been on an airplane since October 2019.) Also Shoog forced us to take her on a walk today! She hasn't done that since 2020!

  40. 8 forces influencing user-centric digital identity in 2022 & 4 scenarios of what could happen. Corporate Resistance or Successful Disruption? Big Bureaucracy or Tribal Entrepreneurship?
