The magnitude of that disaster stunned us all. I’m sorry for those lost. We were all mesmerized by the drama of the Fukashima nuclear plant over the next months.

I never went to Japan. But @anomalily is there now, 8 (not 9, sorry!) years later! My kid is my hero.

I went to my office to see if my boss, who lived in Tokyo, was online. He was on Yahoo! IM. “Are you OK? Where are you?”

“I’m OK. Under my dining room table, with my sons.”

Yikes.

Needless to say, trip cancelled. 3/4

Early that morning, @Cheryl_Crowe prodded me awake after hearing on the BBC: Big earthquake in Fukashima. “I don’t think you’re going”

Exactly 9 years ago yesterday, @anomalily and I were scheduled to fly to Tokyo together, me on business, she to have fun.

OAuth Device Flow spec renamed to “OAuth 2.0 Device Authorization Grant” http://self-issued.info/?p=1959 #IETF #OAuth @WilliamDenniss

Data serialization protocols that are better than SOAP:

▪️JSON
▪️CSV
▪️Micro Focus COBOL file format
▪️Base64-encoded lossy JPGs of photos of dot-matrix printouts
▪️A regular expression that converts Paulo Coelho's "The Alchemist" to the required data as tab separated values

My boy @afitnerd is about to give an interactive talk on OAuth and OpenIDConnect @devnexus for the first time. Pretty k00l.
