If you look at planet.case.edu, you notice that there are probably six Shibboleth-related postings in a row. Five from Jeremy, and my last one.
Oh wait, I bet this is the seventh...

small world...
So, this past weekend I was at the American Library Association's Midwinter Meeting in Boston (I'm not a librarian, nor do I play one on TV. My Fiancee is the librarian. I was merely taking a vacation at a library conference. Yeah, I'm weird...)
So, I'm in line at a book signing (by Robert MacNeil, for his book "Do You Speak American?"), and I'm talking to a guy from the National Institutes of Health about various random things. He asked where I was from, so I mentioned I was with Case, and then he mentioned that he (or more likely the NIH in general) was involved with a pilot project with Case and Brown University to allow access to library holdings to each other. I then asked if that was using Shibboleth, and he said that it was. I replied "Oh, I may end up having something to do with that then," and went on to explain that I was in all actuality an Engineer. That's pretty much as far as that conversation went, but it was interesting nonetheless.
Fast forward a few days, and I was made part of our Shibboleth implementation team.
Weird, wild stuff.
