my opinions do reflect that of my employer now, retroactively, and in perpetuity
I never tire of seeing our countryside from the skies
Bumpy on the climb out, thanks #COWX. Probably will be on the descent to TUS as well
Few thousand feet below us watched a Southwest flight cross under

@jonbois.bsky.social watching fool time and the history of the internet.

they domesticated moose in Eagle, Alaska, to run the cable as horses. Desertion / suicide rates were up to 33%

I don’t think the kids are alright
I was at rugby training last night and some incoming college freshmen were complaining about a university that results in burns (insinuating STIs from sleeping with the women there)

it finally happened
United needed to boot 7 folks from the flight (weight restrictions leaving LAS from heat) and immediately offered $2500 in flight credits
next flight was 3 hours later, EASY pick
did need to update the wife I wouldn’t be back for dinner but… what a steal?

In June, Commerce ordered Anthropic to take Fable 5 offline. 18 days. Global — not just restricted countries, *everyone*, because real-time nationality filtering across AWS Bedrock and a dozen cloud providers isn't a thing you can do.
That was a model. What happens when it's your agent registry?

sitting in a taxi in Rome, man has 3 phones (1 on a call in left hand), blaring radio, open laptop in passenger seat sometimes using his right hand to type, no seatbelt, and drove like a total madman to the airport

Standards live forever. The SLS rocket booster's diameter is constrained by the back end of two horses, four thousand years ago. My first keynote: what that has to do with AI agents.

The Human Foundation of Open Protocols — Notes From the Domain Summit Keynote
My first keynote, in Berlin: why standards outlive the people who write them, the three schools of thought forming around agentic identity, where domains actually fit, and why the question of who mediates the agentic web is being answered right now.

So Infoblox's UDDI DNS product just announced full #DNS-AID record support. So you know what this means!!
Love the concept of XaaS handling the DR portion of the management plane of critical DNS data, but, the tenant I got didn't have all the VPC peering bells and whistles. Hmm. Ok...

my nit for goodwill hunting is Robin Williams’ character mentions the unabomber to protect Matt Damon’s character’s mental state but doesn’t mention MKUltra

At ICANN87 I got sold on Universal Acceptance — your name in your own script working everywhere. So I tested it: registered 3 internationalized domains, tried to serve sites + receive mail on a free stack. Every failure landed above DNS.

feel like Deutsche Telekom has the best roaming experience out there
second I flip on my eSIM it connects in seconds and activates
some countries it takes multiple reboots and airplane mode on / off to register with the carrier
wonder if they publish their interoperability stack artifacts

Went looking for a standards-track DNS hook for agent identity in OpenDID's verifier code, expecting nothing. The answer was three letters: SAN.
OID4VP's x509_san_dns binds the verifier to a DNS name in the cert SAN. ROK and France ship it. So might agents.
