Man, I totally missed the announcement that Netscape.com now supports OpenID. This is pretty great -- Netscape is probably the biggest OpenID consumer on the Web, after Technorati. And Technorati only uses OpenID for a few limited purposes.
Good news for Netscape.com and for OpenID.

Science of Sleep
I just finished watching The Science of Sleep. I liked the animation, and the writing -- the ambiguity of the sleeping state and the waking state. And I like Gael García Bernal. But I also realized that films about people on the brink of mental illness are really distressing for me.
Otherwise, it was a good movie.

Speaking of sleep
I've been finding the Nokia N800 really difficult to use as a mobile computer -- or, rather, as a mobile toy. I haven't been getting as good WiFi coverage with it as I'd like, when taking it around, so it's not that fun to play with. I took it to the bank so I'd have something to do while waiting in line, and I couldn't get a network connection.
So yesterday I imported my OPML feed from Sage into the RSS reader on the N800. I figured that even without connectivity I'd have something to read on the computer. But my feeds (about 20-30; is that a lot?) slowed down the N800 to a crawl. When I rebooted the machine, it got in the same boot loop it had problems with before, and wouldn't start.
I had to re-flash the hard drive again, but luckily this time around I had a recent backup. Unluckily, it doesn't seem to want to restore the backup. It's frustrating.
AFD
So, there's not one but two April Fools Day articles on Wikitravel. Last year, we had an excellent guide to San Serriffe posted, but I think this year's joke guides to Earth (for aliens) and Hell (for everyone) are pretty good, too.
