    This just in. A panel met, and failed to come up with anything! More on that after sports.

    That is not much representation for an expert panel. No offense, but I prefer to know what is stirring around in Larry's and Sergey's little noggins.

    Well... They invited them, but they were too busy actually working than going to pointless conferences. That and counting money.

    I easily found the Illinois web sites, but that has done little to move me further in the task at hand. The DOV Illinois sites are confusing, convoluted, obfuscated, and have been little help in understanding exactly all I must do to complete my responsibilities. Thankfully the most important piece of information is included on their site, the dreaded toll free phone number to call. Sigh.
    I'm amazed, I didn't think it was possible to mimic the experience of a real DMV office on a website!
