Kid asks me if I know I have “many really really big, deep wrinkles next to my eyes”. Why yes, yes I do. Etched by laughter. No regrets.

TCG068: Agents and Identity – Navigating What We Can’t Predict | Packet Pushers AI agents are here, changing identity management. Dan Moore is here to explore agent identities, OAuth 2.1, and the authorization that exists behind every MCP server.

Thanks to @macroengineered.bsky.social and @esharp.net for having me on The Cloud Gambit to talk about AI, authorization, authentication and more.

It got a bit philosophical, which is always fun.

I’ve seen “Truemed” offering to get medical sign off for HSA fund use for things that are quite a stretch. Please don’t ruin the magic of HSA triple tax advantage for all of us with this shady stuff.

It’s almost 2026. Why are security questionnaires done with a spreadsheet?

I don’t give Amazon my money and don’t plan to, at least in physical goods or from audiobooks. But how can you boycott AWS? It’s a layer abstracted 😢 LMK if you have any ideas

I love this! I’m an iPhone user but the tracking URLs drive me nuts

Have you implemented passkeys and completely replaced passwords on the workforce side at a large scale? Want to talk shop with others who have done the same? Reply or send me a DM (is that a thing on Bluesky?) to join!

The Browser Company purchased by Atlassian. Why must all good things come to an end? 😭

Colorado has a co-op you can use for rideshare. Eliminate Lyft and Uber, and the drivers make a lot more. It’s an employee owned model. I am all for patronizing this but why oh why have I been cancelled on 4 times today alone?! 😭

If AI was truly helpful in real life, it would have seen the school supply list in my email and ordered the supplies at the best price and had them delivered to my door. Maybe when that happens I’ll believe the AI hype.

How AI, Healthcare, and Labubu Became the US Economy The Three Americas and aspirational displacement

Can’t help but feel like AI is propping op the economy for very little in return, especially after the lackluster GPT5 release. I’m concerned about the larger implications of such huge chunk of our economy on this while ignoring things we very much need. kyla.substack.com/p/how-ai-hea...

The reintroduction of the presidential physical fitness test is bringing back a lot of memories…all of them bad 😆

#Colorado showing off - #wildflowers are one of life’s joys!

Gorgeous (fleeting) summer green at the base of the Rockies

Excellent time at #Identiverse this year. Identity peeps are the best peeps.

Maybe identiverse next year 😊

Creating a vision and strategy for a platform service, and tying it to tangle revenue impacts is certainly a brain bending challenge. Seems like something I should talk about in a future conference talk…

This sounds so much like something that would happen on my team. Empathy for all involved. www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microso...

Well, that’s one way to attract a certain type of employee. Points for honesty?

Red rocks show by myself tonight. Not mad about it!

Irrationally excited for Love On the Spectrum’s new season tomorrow 💜 Gotta be one of my
Favorite shows ever

That’s a lot of travel! I’d be ready to go home too. Safe travels ✈️

@mdwayne-real.bsky.social we gave the octopus some eyes and stuffing

I noticed it in the middle of the night. I’ve got my lovely fire PTSD and it always wakes me up.

@mooreds.com of @fusionauth.bsky.social demoing #webauthn to a full room at #snowFROC - we identity people have to stick together! #OWASP

Guessed (almost?) how many secrets were pushed to GitHub repos in 2024 as part of @mdwayne-real.bsky.social talk about Secrets Security at #SnowFROC2025 - maybe I know a little too much!? Prize was this adorable hand crocheted octopus 🐙 💕
