We've always been at war with Ohio

It seems my home state has banned smiling and glasses from driver's license photos.

The rationale behind this is to help facial recognition software with the process of recognizing driver faces.

Beyond the obvious jokes ("You live in Indiana, what's to smile about.") and the Big Brother aspect, there's one disturbing thing about the new policy. The state's multi-million dollar facial recognition software can be fooled by a smile or a pair of glasses?

This makes me feel so much safer.

Todd DraperTodd.com, Todd Draper's Weblog.

A weblog covering, amongst other things: Notre Dame sports, poker, music and Apple Computer. Posts are certainly not limited to these subjects.

To answer my most frequent question: I am not interested in selling this domain name unless you want to make an offer in excess of six figures. Then we can talk.
