Justin,
I share your hope for OpenID simplifying our online presences. I wrote about it a few weeks ago here: http://www.sharingatwork.com/2008/07/coming-soon-death-of-passwords.html
It is generally wonderful but there is the added frustration of a new point of failure: If your OpenID provider fails you then you can’t use your OpenID login. On traditional web sites you only have to rely on the site you are actually using instead of that plus a new second site.
Hopefully that won’t happen much, especially if we use the biggest sites on the web as our OpenID providers (Yahoo et al). Just for reference though, my blogger.com OpenID has already given me trouble on a few sites and I haven’t heard back from them as to why.
