Business Week’s note about The Underground Internet highlights marginally legal uses of dark nets.

Kevin Werbach nails it as usual with his note What is Internet infrastructure?. The key phrase here is: …a few simple and non-proprietary core connectivity protocols make innovation possible elsewhere…. I would go a step farther and add that the core protocols of the Internet allow an incredibly rich set of innovation, i.e. they are absolutely brilliant in how unconstraining they are. This is what scares me with some of the efforts to push identity deep into the Internet.

Incredible game so far. Pedro outduelled Roger, now it’s time to see if they can take it to Moose and hold off the Yankees.

At ConnecTerra we’re doing lots of work in RFID. It’s a wild space right now, with too much hype, but with real promise. This blog will gather notes and thoughts on the space as it evolves.

Good article on RSS-Data by 0xDECAFBAD. I like his “code now, schema later” v. “schema now, code later” comparison.

Wired News reports that someone is being sued for discovering that the ‘Shift Key’ can defeat the copy protection. I wrote to Industry Standard in May, 2001 after exchanging emails with Lawrence Lessig and pointing out that DCMA is totally independent of the quality of the encryption technology. In fact, the RIAA et al should stop spending money on these technologies, as they will usally be broken anyway, and they can always fall back on DCMA!

Great note from Kevin Werbach on Digital Identity and what’s cooking. link
