Why?

What prompted this sudden rush to action?

I was having a conversation about OpenID today. During the call, a recurring theme rolled through my mind and this blog was the result.

Don't get me wrong; I think there is a place for OpenID. But it's one of those things like walking through an airport in your socks that makes me scratch my head. Do people know why their toothaste has suddenly been rendered safe by being put behind a protective 2 mil plastic shield? Why put a lock on a glass door? Do smokers ever read the packages, and how cool are the gruesome pics on Canadian cig packs?

I am working with an interesting group of people here at Sun on an OpenID project. Some of the discussion has been quite entertaining and as soon as I finish a research paper that is due this week, I'll come back and share some delusions - and possibly some recognition and avoidance points.

First

Well, that's out of the way.
