you are too Sweet about OpenID, but it is still a wrong dev. (or let say one more layer to stick over the tradition)
Your IP, (your computer device or yr Mobile), to interact online is actually your real online ID and this is the way Tech can track you down (anonymously or not, that is just legal issue in theory :) ) But Anonymizer and similars, and considering you as a geek, i supposed you should promote this webapp if you feel concerned by your online privacy and onlineID. Cause form my “users” point of view this my freedom that i am looking for when i am online, and i want to keep it.
Now then, Your ID do not have to be declared online. People own their ID and should remain theirs only.
Users should value with cash this ultimate information in order to allow their collectors for some marketing tracking issues.
The Today‘s deal is: i give access to crap info but then you have to give me your ID. (but is it a real deal, or some underneath hidden way lurkking the web form any data transfer form your device through your connection)
So out of it, what we got as
results> Cookies, spam, phishing, and so slowing down your goddamn connection but outrageously invading jamming the net full of useless bits.

That has a real cost: cost of time, users time, but above all energy. a waste of energy which could be cut down drastically if at once all compliant webdevelopper and other W3C norms would agree to switch off the waste.
But are they looking for being really green?
Are we still dreaming to save the planet?
We knows about email traffic (and spams), then we gone have the twitter one (blurb of noises), but we do not really care about the cookies highway and co.
We got a blind, death or reminder issues.
Nevertheless the challenge is still a long road. Cause internet took the classic business roads of those average classic media which are like print and tv.
So now the solution is to go backward or better may Fast forward and jump to a next generation of web app.

What to know more? just email me. I am an oldschool guy, but painfully witnessing the silicon ass with its daily new surgeries’ stiches. I am not critical just realistic. Users and I started to be fedup, and above all online newusers are still repeating daily the same goddamned process.
Every single webpages today asking login, just shout load meaningfully: “WE DON’T TRUST YOU” :)
the paradox of social media, isn’t it.
OpenID seems to be cool but isn’t it just the brand new centralized collector or aggregator database access to reveal online users activities to their kindly webapp members. Even though it claims the contrary.
Please forget OpenID and try to look for better investment (time and energy) on some well though stuff.
(and there are).

BTW: a simple question
what’s the led stripe blinking over your large desk? If someone asked already at your FAQ menu, pls just mention title below in order to understand what lights activity stand for.
I enjoy the show, as far as it could be repsectful to my time. Be short and essential. to much blah blah kill the topic and mainly interest.
And sorry for my long comments ;).

Internet/YouTube celebrity?

Come on… this is sad and pathetic…

You man, are a real celeb. you are in magazines (you used to have your OWN tv show… with its own gameshow segment)

Seriously… its sad now people are resorting to having to find you on youtube… In my day… when someone had as much greatness we already knew it.

Could not Jabber be considered that “open, federated Instant Messaging application” you yearn for? Just wondering…

I first came across Chris back on Tech TV, and I have been following him since about his 10th YouTube video. I’ve seen them all, well, most. Some of them are useless for me and Chris (or whoever uplaods) makes that noticeable by the clear video titles.

I disagree with his views on politics and race, but that aside, I have nothing but respect for such an intelligent, giving, money saving geek.
