Mid-April I said my goodbyes to CPB and moved on to co-found DandyId with Arron Kallenberg and Anthony Dimitre. We’ve since launched an open beta and are communicating with third-parties for partner integration with our repository and widget. While partnerships form, users can sign up and fill out their identities – then grab a widget containing those ‘chicklets’ and respective links, for their blog. I have the widget, in badge form, on this blog.

I’ll also be moving my home base back to Rhode Island  later this month, and setting up Dandy headquarters in the Providence area. We’re hiring two developers, PHP/MySql/Mashup ninjas, and possibly an intern. Arron will remain in Boulder for 2 more months or so, heading our business development. If you’re a developer in the RI area (or in Boulder through July/August) please contact us for more information! 

DandyId is launching on a more official note this August at Gnomedex.  Check out the DandyId blog for future information, and DandyId.org to signup!

Looking forward to FOWA next week. I’m planning to attend the BarCamp, located in FOWA venue, Thursday instead of the workshops. 

Do check out the Crowdvine page, pre-conference: sign-up for the social events, as well as filter through attendees with whom to meet in the Sunshine state.
