    Contrary to popular belief, nature does not abhor a vacuum.

    99.9999999999999999999958% of the universe is completely empty. Give or take.

    And the 0.0000000000000000000042% of the Universe which isn't empty is made of atoms – but atoms themselves are actually 99.9999999996% empty!

    So everything is mostly nothing really.

    When you look at it that way, it’s easy to justify eating an entire tub of ice cream.

    @aaronpk they called three times after I refused the calls. I figured it must be urgent.

    My bank just called me to ask about fraudulent charges I didn't make in Ohio, and in the process asked me half a dozen verification questions and near the end I realized I never even had a way to verify I was really talking to my own bank.

    If you knew who I banked with, you could pull off this same call and get my mother's maiden name, PIN, and all sorts of identifying info on me.

    I'm gonna visit my bank to make sure it was real.

    see this is why I just don't answer the phone

    "Can you teach me to change shapes?"
    "I wish I could," the shapeshifter said, "I wish everyone could try shapes until they found a few they like."
    "A few?"
    "Or maybe one. But most of us have a few we are really at home in."
    "You're almost always a cat."
    "It's one of what I am."

    Last day before I fly home to Portland and gosh is it ever nice to just...do nothing.*

    (*And by "nothing" I mean "schedule a bunch of blog posts, update my tour spreadsheet, and clear out my inbox.")

    Someone did an audit of the Slack blog I work on and one main conclusion was “it’s as if they don’t care about SEO at all!” and I was like oh shit he fucking NAILED my personal brand.

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, 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.
