I have a theory that almost all legitimate projects with real people and real work going on behind them also have fake projects shadowing […]
Deconstructing Blockchain and Identity Projects: Velix.ID
This is going to be the first in what will end up being a long and ongoing series of posts that deconstruct various “blockchain and identity” projects. I was inspired to get started after getting a min into the video explaining this identity system and at least thinking ‘screaming’ in my head NO! NO! NO! […]
Facebook's Problem = FSW Opportunity
ReadWriteWeb’s social Blog has an articule up referencing a conversation the author had with Mark Cuban about Facebook’s business model and integrity challenges. Apparently Facebook is now going to charge brands a huge amount to reach the base of fans they have accumulated on facebook. I’ve heard anecdotally about a huge brand that was complaining […]

The new Google+ Names process
Today people were tweeting/writing about the new google+ names policies. Well.

Mononym officially "not" accepted. I'm Kaliya. Google get a clue.
OK. Let me be very frank. Kaliya says to Google: “Why should I have to justify my name to you?” My name is Kaliya Just me. That is what it was on my profile before you decided that i had to have letters in my last name. Type me into Google nymrods, 5 of the posts […]

Ok, now we know what is wrong 🙂 Google is on the [autism] spectrum. “The obstacles primarily exist in the realm of social interaction. The fundamental problem is akin to blindness, as the term social blindness suggests.” They keep doing well meaning but awkward feeling things because well they know how to technically but it […]
Learning to stand up for my Identity, began with O'Reilly | She bows in gratitude for the teaching.
