Michael Papasevastos beat me to the punch and took the Nerd Dinner to Azure! I was planning on doing just that over the July 4th weekend. Now it looks like I will have to spend the weekend lying around doing nothing. Nah, that’s not true. Aside from visiting my Father and Brother In Law, I am going to fire up Beyond Compare and see what Michael changed. Then I am going to deploy it myself!
I’ll fill you in on what I find.

Today I loaded up a very simple theme I created using Blueprint. I am not even coming close to tappig into the power of this framework, but at least I have a really good starting point. I want to thank Khoi Vinh for putting me on the Blueprint train a long, long time ago. Someday, I hope I can get my grid on like he does.

I particularly appreciate them clearly calling out the issue of many of the big operations signing on as providers but failing to become relying partners (RPs). I am very pleased to see Facebook stepping up, I believe Plaxo has also. Once the others fall in line, I really think OpenID will begin to deliver on its promise. I would even be happy if there was a clear process of independent providers to certified so that the big players will rely on them.
