  1. Continuing my (bad?) habit of always buying the underdog, after I watched the Apple TV announcement I immediately bought a Roku.
  2. How broken is Google's accounts system? Let me count the ways http://bit.ly/9UHQIa
  3. It's annoying when someone checks in a change with no tests, breaks all the existing tests, and then runs away before the CIT completes. :(
  4. There's more to the social web than microblogging!
  5. Since B&N has data on what ebooks I have and how much I've read each of them, it'd be awesome to auto-import that into @GoodReads.
  6. http://bit.ly/cvmKz6
  7. Proximo in HTML5 http://bit.ly/bg7k8i
  8. Today has been an entirely loathesome day.
  9. Magna-doodle + Electromagnets = Low-res E-Paper display? Surprised that I can't find any projects like this online. :)
  10. Important Changes in OpenID Connect http://www.apparently.me.uk/2010/05/important-changes-in-openid-connect.html
  11. @robdolin: are you planning to ship the ability to consume an arbitrary feed from a publisher you don't have a prior relationship with?
  12. Does anyone actually care about Atom Activity Streams? http://bit.ly/cMd3ym
  13. I find myself in an IIW session that seems to be dedicated to filling out OpenID Foundation working group paperwork. :(
  14. Looks like the J is screwed by something at Dolores Park. No movement for 30min at least.
  15. @ciberch : xauth first, and now "openlike". Everyone seems to want to solve the Facebook dependency by creating a dependency on themselves.
  16. If your "open protocol" depends on me loading JavaScript from your domain then it's NOT OPEN.
  17. My DSL service has been mostly useless for the last 4 months due to line noise. I wish @sonicnet would just out send AT&T to fix it already.
  18. I thought check.in was an answer to my location-logging woes, but they want my password for each site? Haven't they heard of OAuth? Jeez.
  19. Facebook unleashed a proprietary object taxonomy on the web today. Unfortunate but not unexpected. It is a beautiful snowflake, though.
  20. Why XAuth is fundamentally wrong http://bit.ly/crRE2c
