Of course, those sorts of artifacts are never the whole picture\u2026they are inevitably missing a great deal of long-forgotten truths.\n\nSometimes it\u2019s enough just to stop remembering for a while. Close the door on some past events, let them air out and breathe. Time passes, you change and grow, and then when you decide you\u2019re ready to revisit those events, you\u2019ll have forgotten some of the more recent rememberings and you can access a more objective view of how you originally felt\u2026what you originally experienced. In a way, it\u2019s a type of #mindfulness exercise.\n\nOf course for those truly traumatic moments we don\u2019t ever wish to remember, perhaps it\u2019s best to leave the door closed permanently. But there may be other hard & difficult times for which, after we\u2019ve cast aside those sequences of successive frustrating rememberings, we\u2019re ready to take on a back-to-basics approach.\n\nI\u2019ve never been a very nostalgic person. I typically spend little effort delving into my own distant past, into my family\u2019s past. But as I\u2019ve been doing that a fair degree lately, while clearing out old boxes of memorabilia, photographs, and writings, I\u2019ve been pleasantly surprised at how much it has helped expand and retexture my life\u2019s story.\n\nMemory is such a funny thing."

At long last, the OAuth working group has finished the Best Current Practice for OAuth 2.0 Security and it was just published as RFC9700! This has been a long time in the works, and I'm very thankful to everyone who has helped out with it over the years!
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9700.html
This is one of the major inputs to OAuth 2.1, so I'm also very excited to be able to move that forward this year as well!
