    Righthaven

    Here is the Arkansas Democrat Gazette article on Righthaven - its so terribly one sided. Reads like a press release - no reporting here. And of course, its behind a paywall. ADG has lost their mind.

  • No Smiling On Your Drivers License. It Makes Our Software Sad

    Please do the research

    Well-researched news is better than fling-it-against-the-wall hyperbole. Administrators in Arkansas have been fighting the "no smiling" rumor since it surfaced a week ago. See the article here http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2009-05-25-licenses_N.htm. "You just can't grin really large," Arkansas driver services chief Tonie Shields says. Arkansas doesn't use facial recognition software. So that's not quite the same as "no smiling"...

    And I appreciate the slings and arrows for those who live here - but ignorance and prejudice knows no boundaries.
