WV vs Bette Midler
Just a comment regarding Bette Midler’s comments about West Virginia: In 1997, Polaroid rolled out a Driver License/ID system that implemented the first facial image recognition system in any state-level program in the United States. I was the tech lead/manager on the program, so I know we did it.

Why Do Public Schools Have NO Accountability, while Education Savings Accounts are Under Fire?

And God Reaches Down to Touch a Little Girl’s Heart
I got this email forwarded from an old friend; a High School classmate. It touched my heart so wanted to share. Not sure the origin so just taking it as-is. Our 14 yo dog Abbey died last month. The day she passed away my 4-year-old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she … Read more
Unintended Consequences

Liar! Liar! The Data’s Mired!
Question: What can kill people without a single weapon, destroy an economy without a single financial transaction and eliminate democracy without a single military incursion? Give up? Data. Covid data.
So are Laconia Chair Aaron Hayward and Superintendent Steve Tucker Making Jackasses of Themselves?
A letter was sent to the Laconia School Board from a number of anonymous District employees. NH State Rep and Laconia School Board member Dawn Johnson tried to read it into the minutes of tonight’s meetings. I’ve been told that she was shut down almost immediately.

Colluding Ahead and You’re Not Invited…Part 1
Lots of news today, kids, so let’s start off with our friends over at Covidcon. In the first of many bad news stories here, so many in fact, that I needed to split it into 2 parts, we have Biden’s OSHA vax mandate, which was recently punted up to the 6th US Circuit Court of Appeals in a ping-pong lottery after the 5th Circuit put a halt on the mandate.
Constitution Day Talk
I originally meant to present the following talk at a Constitution Day celebration. Unfortunately, I came down with COVID-19, and was unable to attend. But several people have asked me what I had planned to say. So here it is:
So, who made YOU the Grand-PoohBa of “Responsible Digital Citizenship”, Superintendent Kirk Beitler?
Yes, he’s back from his leave. And he’s taking a rip against “misinformation”, fear, and feelings. Right.

The list of likely GOP candidates will perhaps be the shortest than in recent memory. I don’t think I am alone in thinking only Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis will lead the ballot in 2024. That’s immaterial, though, because a list of two or two hundred needs to be told the same thing.
In the Mail – “If Donald Trump is ever reelected, all of the blacks in America will be killed…”
I received an unexpected communication from a very disturbed person (unsigned) telling me that, “If Donald Trump is ever reelected, all of the blacks in America will be killed and all of the people in our beloved country from Mexico will likewise be killed and our democracy will be gone forever.”
Trains and Trucks and Scandinavia Sucks
