...and I'm back

ok, so I took a 4.5 year sabbatical. We'll call it a mission trip if you will to working hard at my day job and getting married, but as Gtalk would say...and I'm back.

A lot has changed in the world of Identity and Access Management, but much hasn't to my dismay. Where is my flying car i.e. federated Identity? I thought for sure it would be ubiquitous by now, forced upon us all at childbirth to ensure that we only have to fill out 1 Profile in our lives along with our two-factor (or more) keychain ensuring that everything we touch is secured beyond reason.

How depressing. I guess we still have some work to do. Oh, and while we're at it. Perhaps we can actually make the IAM cost available to small companies and reduce the duration on implementation. Perhaps that is doable.
