So my blog has been running for a few days now and although I have been doing a number of things that are note worthy I haven’t written about them, yet.
Instead I have been spending my time geeking out at all of the cool plug-ins and modifications I can get for my blog software. Some writer I have turned out to be. How successful would a journalist be if they spent all of their time being fascinated with how their pen worked?
I guess I have some legitimate excuses. I am a technologist who has an interest in writing about what I am passionate about, not a writer who is interested in technology. And secondly, if this is going to be a blog about identity related issues, which includes security, it better be secure.
Anyway, I have lots to write about when I get time to collate my thoughts. Just checking in really to say I am here, I am writing, and at some point these posts will start to be about digital identity 
After years of working in the IT industry, specialising in identity management solutions, I have decided to push myself to learn more and to get involved in the international digital identity arena.
Having some downtime over the past few months I have taken the time to do a lot of reading that I have been intending to do for ages. I have been looking back over some of the seminal papers on digital identity and trying to get a better handle on where we have come from, where we are today, and where we are going.
I wanted to get a better perspective on the systems I have been involved in building over the last five years for the New Zealand Government.
So to help me digest what I read, and to keep track of my thoughts on the subject of digital identity, I decided that starting a blog would be a good idea.
I have no idea if anyone will ever read this. Hopefully it will help someone, somewhere. Hopefully it will help me.
