InsaneJournal OpenID bug?

[Brad Fitzpatrick]

That's an InsaneJournal bug.  They're using the old LJ APIs, asking for
the user object's "username", not "display name".  And OpenID users don't
have usernames, so the LJ code fakes a username for old callers.  So
what's happening is that, on InsaneJournal, your http://kylemulka.com/
identity is actually user "ext_23".  But not on LJ... just on
insanejournal.
