As I was walking out of AT&T Park after the Giants beat the Cardinals 5-1, I thought, “I’ve had a really great day!”
This morning’s (early morning, btw) Identity Management sessions at the RSA conference were quite good. I think that in regards to Identity Management, RSA 2008 has been the best conference that I’ve attended. […]

I’m in San Francisco at RSA 2008. Ironically, this year’s conference theme is Turing Lives. My post on the Dilbert-Turing cartoon of a few weeks ago was almost prescient.

My blog disappeared for about 24 hours - a little mix-up with the domain name renewal. For the past day, if you went to www.slatrat.com, you were greeted by something that wasn’t quite porn but certainly didn’t seem quite on the up and up.

Hulu, an on-line joint venture (JV) video streaming service, was beta launched in October. I signed up and my beta invitation came through yesterday. The major JV partners include NBC Universal and Fox. The site is of course intended to be the on-line distribution channel for NBC and Fox - as opposed to YouTube.
