Today we went to the

where we were told what we already knew, that Jeremy is most certainly going to be wearing a pair of glasses when he returns to school for the 6th grade.

Just over a year ago, Mark and I attended IIW 2007 down in the bay area, which added fuel to a strong interest in emerging standards around user-centric identity - including OpenID, microformats, oAuth, etc. - a trip that helped inform some of the ideas that we explored at Mergelab.

I am happy to announce that I’ve found a way to continue down this path by joining Identity.net, a Bellevue-based startup with an ambitious plan to build on these emerging technologies.

(Those who know me well will understand that it must be an interesting company and an interesting space if I’m willing to commute to the east side for it! :)

The official announcement that hit the wires this morning is here. I am also going to be hiring for a number of positions in development over the next few weeks and months so if you know someone who might be interested, please send them my way!
