At DIDW, in San Fran, this week. You can tell who's from the east end of the country by watching the gym at 04:30PDT. Opening night activities were pretty decent. Running into old acquaintances everywhere and being pointed to the ubiquitous blogs. Eric Norlin notes, under the subject of Congress getting set to pass a de facto national ID, that the crux of digital ID is the challenge of "proving a 1:1 relationship btwn an identity and an actual physical person." He goes on to point to the post office as one organization that could achieve that (even if he says it in the context of "many have postulated that . . .") function.
Well, thank Christ and pass the butter! Anybody with an interest can go check the flogging of this well-tread path in any of the essays here. (As Doc said last night, "Well, they're PDFs, but they don't suck.")
