Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Senior Security Architect at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming and dabble in product design.

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.

    I just had a glass of $900 champagne and I swear I couldn't tell the difference between that and the $8 bottle Trader Joe's bubbly

    oh no. I just ordered all these knobs and dials to build a physical "chaos router" to be able to test various bad network conditions. It will basically be a physical control surface for tc-gui.

    Any bets on how long this will take to actually build?

    a bunch of little RGB push buttons from Aliexpress finally showed up, but I've already forgotten what I was planning on doing with them...

    Might be a sign I have too many projects

    oops the writers of So Help Me Todd messed up:

    "3752… that's an American Express card!"

    Nope! There's 0% chance of that being the last 4 of an AMEX! For that to be true, he would have had to had 3 replacement cards and 74 other authorized users.

    It's been over ten years so I think it's okay to vaguely mention my experience when the president and owner of the company accidentally broke the embargo of our acquisition due to timezones and really messed things up.

    The fun thing about 3D printing is being able to make custom mounts and brackets that are useful to approximately 3 people in the world.

    This is the old AppleTV remote with the remote for my Yamaha sound bar.

    why yes, if there was one feature missing from all of my headphone cases it's that they can't open bottles.

    have we reached the point of AI product generation? This bottle-opening headphone case came into my press inbox but is this really real??

    So I recently installed a motion sensor light, but now at about 8:15pm it starts blinking on and off every half second. At first I thought it was a one off glitch. But now I'm pretty sure it's because it turns on when it's dark, but it sees the reflection of its own light in the neighbor's window and turns itself off. blink blink blink.

    Just added a new feature to my website's BlueSky integration:

    If you remove the `staging.bsky.app/profile` part of the URL from one of my BlueSky posts, it will redirect you to the canonical post on my website! Try it!

    Anyone have opinions about where to place outdoor faucets on a house? I'm realizing I haven't had outdoor space in so long that I don't have any recent frustrations with outdoor hoses to draw from!

    Is the answer just, "everywhere"?
