Plate Watch: SADNESS

The Los Angeles 'plate watch' continues. Many digits is quickly becoming a collection of bizzare commuter sightings in Southern California.

This was sent by a ManyDigitonian in Santa Monica. Admitedly, I would be sad if i were commuting in Santa Monica in my aging Cherokee.

Pop A baloon with no more than the weight of your virtual presence.

Bill Shackelford has wowed me for the first time. Admittedly, i had never heard of him or his domain before today.

He has posted an interesting web/art project. For the rest of the day, each time some one visits the site, the baloon is filled with a little bit more air. It's going to blow any minute now, so get your visits in now and make them count.

Throwthatphone.com gets corp. sponsorship

As in Fight Club, when Jack black mails his boss at the "major car company" into becoming the unwitting benefactor of project mayhem- project throw that phone now has sponsorship.

Flipswap Inc. a small start-up dealing in the trade of used cell phones has stepped up as the first sponsor.

Throwthatphone.com will be sending an athlete to the international cell phone throwing competition in Finland this summer. Throwthatphone will be accepting pledges for each meter that the athlete throws the phone will be donated to finding a cure for breast cancer.

A virgin in a CTS!

Two days in a row!

A loyal ManyDigits Reader sent this in to me this morning after my "Tower II" Maybach sighting yesterday.

This Cadillac CTS was northbound on the 405 between the 105 and the 10.

It must be hard to remain a virgin and drive a CTS. Dudes and chicks alike would be perpetually trying to get a piece of your action.

If I didn't know that he had better taste, I might think this was Richard Branson.

Google testing new looks

Google is field testing new looks. I've heard one other report of the subsidiary Google products being listed vertically on the left side.

Maybach lost in Torrance, CA

I spotted my first Maybach in the wild on the way into the office this morning.

It was north bound on Crenshaw Blvd. in the heart of sprawling Torrance. Obviously, this poor little super luxury car had drifted way off course.

The gentlemen behind the wheel didn’t look as ‘slicked-back’ as the chauffeurs I've seen touring around in stretch Hummers usually look. The license plate was a California Registration, "TOWER II". Definitely a vanity plate but not the obvious kind that hire cars in LA generally wear. Is this some comment on September 11th?

I think this is pretty interesting, considering that I saw a Ferrari F430 on Saturday with the license plate "IRNURNXT". I didn't think that Ferrari drivers were that political, I thought they were just trying to hide their self hatred.

Still with the Joost invites!?!

Apparently Joost intended me to invite copious numbers of the Joost thirsty masses. I've passed the touch a whole hell of a lot and I still have more to give. post a comment and i'll send you one while they last.
