Hi, I'm Aaron, Sr Director of Identity Standards 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. (detailed bio)
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.

ok I am impressed, only took a few iterations and Claude built this entirely in the browser. My tweaks were things like "make the legs inset from the face, I don't want to print with supports." It made the STL and I'm printing it out now! 😍

If you've been using my https://webmention.io service, you'll notice a few changes today.
Everything should be transparent from a user and API perspective, all your webmention endpoints and API queries should still be working. Please let me know if you run in to any problems!
I replaced the aging Ruby codebase so that I can more easily fix bugs and make it more secure going forward. Stay tuned for some much-needed UX improvements in the near future as well. -
I'm heading home from 10 days in Vienna/London tomorrow and my stomach still hasn't actually caught up from the jet lag

Today is the day, MCP is launching the next version of the spec! The 2026-07-28 version brings a bunch of exciting changes like statelessness, but I'm focused on the boring auth side of things that nobody wants to deal with!
• Issuer validation (RFC 9207)
• Refresh token and offline_access recommendations
• Scope clarifications
• Syncing with RFC 8414 .well-known URI
In the mean time, there's been a ton of excitement around MCP's Enterprise-Managed Auth extension, with a beta program running in Claude and Okta and new MCP servers shipping support by the day!
Join me at the MCP spec release party in London tonight to learn about what's new in enterprise MCP security!

How Does This Work?
Would you like to use your own domain to be part of the Fediverse? Rather than finding an existing Mastodon instance to join, you can turn your own website into an ActivityPub profile like this one! Some of these options are more complicated than others, but the links below will get you started in the right direction.
- Micro.blog is a fully-hosted service you can run on a custom domain or subdomain, and provides ActivityPub integration out of the box.
- Bridgy Fed converts your existing website to ActivityPub using Webmention, h-entry and Atom.
- Install a plugin for your WordPress or Drupal website.
- Nautilus is an open-source proxy server you can run independently from your website.
- You can self-host a single-user instance of ActivityPub-compatible software like microblog.pub, WriteFreely, or Mastodon.
If you want to go full DIY, you can implement ActivityPub into your own website! I started by following Eugen's guide here.
