What are you using beyond Chrome? The Open Sans web fonts render much better on my Mac with Chrome Version 30.0.1588.0 dev.
Not that I'm a big fan of the font (too close to Arial, especially the 'R' for my antiquated tastes), but I would say it's a well-rendered font of a typeface I do not like. :-)
I probably would, if it were mine. However, I'm not the author.
It's also not blurry at all on my setup, so if you do try to find the actual author and suggest a change, you might want to include details of your setup so he would have a chance to test any changes.
It may be the page has changed since then but the screenshot below isn't even close to the way it shows on firefox (black text, blue accents, white background).
