Two chances to grab a free copy of “CSS Mastery”

~ 26 January 2006 ~

CSS Mastery

“CSS Mastery” is scheduled to hit shelves sometime next month, and I’m offering any of you a chance to grab one of two free copies in exchange for a little help:

  • Show me which U.S. state has the most specialty license plates. I thought Florida had the most upon returning from vacation. Then someone said Nevada. Then another said Alabama. Then another Oklahoma. I give up. First person to find facts/evidence showing which U.S. state has the most custom (specialty) license plates wins. Clarification: I may have confused some of you. By “most custom license plates” I mean the most options for ordering vanity (sheesh, whatever they’re called), team, cause-related plates, not how many customized license plates (e.g. HAX0R) have been purchased.
  • Tell me what mobile phone/device you use and what country you’re from. Yes, the highly scientific, accurate, and statistically significant results of your comments will help me with a couple of mobile web presentations coming up later this year. Winner to be randomly selected from among the list of comments.

Pony up a comment before Tuesday, January 31, 2006 at midnight and winners will be announced shortly after.

I use a Motorola Razor and I am from the US :) first?


2   Joshua Steimle ~ 26 January 2006 at 01:16 PM

I’m using the free phone Tmobile gives you when you sign up, although I’m thinking of trying out a Treo. But I’m hesitant because whenever I try the fancy stuff I always end up going back to the basic cellphone and its simple features.

I’ve got a guy working on the other question.

Motorola Razr (Cingular service), living in the US


4   Susie ~ 26 January 2006 at 01:21 PM

1. I don’t have proof, but my guess would be Virginia. When I lived there it seemed EVERYONE had vanity plates. They were super cheap.

2. Cingular - US - Minnesota


5   Jason ~ 26 January 2006 at 01:23 PM

2. None; U.S.


6   Joshua Steimle ~ 26 January 2006 at 01:26 PM

To clarify, when you say “the most custom plates” do you mean the state that has the most people who have ordered plates with letters and numbers that are customized, or do you mean the state with the most options for plates, prior to number or letters being stamped on them? For example, in Utah you can get the Ski Utah plates, the Rainbow Arch plate, the Primary Children’s Hostpital plate, the No More Homeless Pets plate, etc.

Oh, and I forgot to say I’m from the US earlier.


7   Susie ~ 26 January 2006 at 01:26 PM

Ok. I am having a boring day at work. This is what I found about the vanity plates. From this website:
http://www.edmunds.com/ownership/parts/articles/105268/article.html

***********

Car-crazy California issued its first personalized plate in late 1970. As of year-end 2004, there are almost 1.4 million such plates on California roads. During that time, the state has raised more than 1 billion dollars from vanity plate sales, according to the DMV. Nationwide, vanity plates can cost anywhere from $10 to $65 per year, depending on the state. California calls them “environmental plates,” because it uses the revenue to fund programs that preserve and protect the environment, such as the purchase of land for preserves, studies of endangered species and public education.

14   Marc Köhlbrugge ~ 26 January 2006 at 01:35 PM

1. I really don’t know a lot about America and license plates but I would say the state with the most cars in it.. and if there are different states with about the amount of cars I would go for the state with the richest residents. Anyway, good luck :)

2. I’m using the Nokia N-Gage QD, I’m from The Netherlands.


15   Charles ~ 26 January 2006 at 01:36 PM

I’m going to answer the easy one (2): Currently an unlocked Motorola V80, in the US with Cingular. As of sometime this afternoon, an unlocked Motorola L6 SLVR, same country and service.


16   Kris Hull ~ 26 January 2006 at 01:36 PM

I use a Audiovox CDM-8600 with verizon. I am in the US of A. It is really small, and doesn’t have a camera or any of that fancy-pants mobile internet crap.

Oh and to answer the first one, I would have to say Michigan. They have plates for most of the big colleges including MI State and U of M. They even have plates for the state bird, tree, slogan, child day care service and a couple others.

27   Justin Perkins ~ 26 January 2006 at 01:51 PM

Your first question is a little confusing at first, which people here have stated. But your last sentence says “specialy plates”, which to me does *not* mean vanity plates.

Come to Texas, you will see more special (not vanity) license plates than you will find anywhere else, I guarantee it. Way more than Florida. Don’t believe me, take the Texas Department of Transportation’s word for it.

I think there is a little less than 120 on that page, but I am sure there is more by now (Longhorn Championship Plates to name one).

I’ve got a Nokia 2600 and I’m in the US.

Also my vote for the most vanity plate styles since they offer more than 180 (or “over 180” as they state). Alas, this has already been pointed out twice.


39   monkeyinabox ~ 26 January 2006 at 01:59 PM

T-Mobile with the Samsung X105

http://www.hellocellphone.com/images/X105.jpg

Yeah, it sucks, unless you are in a big city. It’s like the Verizon commercial saying “can you hear me now?”, but I’m doing it for real as I run around my building trying to find out where the person I’m talking to can actually hear me.

On the Vicense plate question, it has to be California (but Susie already said that). They also have the most drivers that drive badly and flip you off.

43   Tony ~ 26 January 2006 at 02:01 PM

Sorry for the double post, but I also wanted to point out that anyone can propose a new plate design in Virginia.


44   Douglas ~ 26 January 2006 at 02:02 PM

The winner has to be Texas, at 539 different licence plate types. You can view them all here:

Nokia N-Gage in the US.

I didn’t actually buy this phone, I did have the Moto V188 that T-Mobile gives away free. A friend of mine bought a Razr and gave me the N-Gage because I could use the Bluetooth. I think I’ve played Tony Hawk once.

Do I get extra points for providing statistical info for 2 people? wink wink nudge nudge

Motorola Razr, United States (unless you’re one of those that thinks New Mexico isn’t part of the U.S. - which is why we actually have USA on our license plates)


63   Mike Montgomery ~ 26 January 2006 at 02:27 PM

Motorola v180 from Cingular. (It was free. And it works. As a phone. Which is what I wanted.)
And a Blackberry 7250 from Verizon. (Which is also a phone. Sort of.)
Both are based in the U.S., and probably don’t work anywhere else.

The state with the most specialty plates has got to be Texas. The literature they included in my last registration renewal notice was overwhelming.

110   Paul Redmond ~ 26 January 2006 at 03:40 PM

Maryland -

In some states, motorists willing to pay the extra fee for a specialty license plate (roughly $25-50 per year, plus minor administrative charges under $5) have more choices available to them for the plate than they do makes and models of cars. Texas has over 150 designs; Virginia more than 300. Not to be one-upped by its southern neighbor, Maryland has over 350 designs. There is even an organization with its own newsletter devoted to specialty license plate enthusiasts, the Auto License Plate Collectors Association.

Wow, wwhat are the chances of me winnign now that so many people have posted. But I have a positive outlook on life so heres my mobile info;

I have a Siemens SX1, you know, that big,chunky ugly thing that is only availible in a depressing grey. I managed to get it in the U2-iPod equivalent, Red & Black. Nonetheless, it still freezes on me like its Windows 95, and looses its keys when you type harder that you normally press when manipulating a sketchy 30-Year-old Atomic Submarine. But it’s my crappy, chunky, battery-munching phone and I love it for all it’s flaws. It lives in my pocket, here in England, trustfully losing it’s connextion to T-Mobile every 20 minutes. I don’t know what I would do without it!

Now about the plates, are these offered by the states or outside conpanies? I see alot of places that sell custom plates for everyone.
What is the stipulation?

I believe it may be Maryland with the most types of license plates. Maryland MVA offers 744 different plates for sale. All the organizational plates are on this page. Add the 26 military plates, the Amateur Radio Operator plate), the “basic Maryland” plate and the two current “decorative” plates (Chesapeake Bay Plate and the Agricultural Plate—I think that makes 744.

I use a Treo 600 (soon to be 650 or 700) and am in the US. I got tired of having to re-enter all my contacts (currently have about 1000) into my phone as I upgraded, and most standard phones have horrible address books anyway. Using my Treo, I can keep tabs on thousands of contacts and have all their info right at hand - email, phone, cell, address, notes, meetings, etc. I also use the email and web browsing when I’m not near a hotspot.

I’ve lived in Nevada for the last year and a half and I can 2nd that Nevada does in fact have an absurd amount of plates. The DMV site with all the plates is at http://www.dmvnv.com/platesmain.htm and I counted 61 on the site. I probably missed some but there are 8 plates just for Classic Vehicles. I have the regular boring plate which most have, but the “Lake Tahoe” and “Las Vegas Centennial” plates are really popular.

I use a Nokia (cheapest model on offer) as it’s easy and I’m not exactly expecting it to jump rope or cook a roast, just receive messages.

I live in Thailand the majority of the time, although my home base (and a lot of my stuff) is in Devon, England.

It’s great to have it automatically switch over to whatever country I’m in, but then the phone bills are a killer so I avoid sending and just receive for the most part.

As for the license plates, cannot help with that question but I’d LOVE to receive your new book.

185   Michael B ~ 27 January 2006 at 12:00 AM

Of the four states you mentioned, I used this site: http://www.dmv.org/ to go to each states DMV, and Alabama has 107 specialty plates by my count, but the last 25 or so are generic plates you can buy stickers to add, mostly NASCAR related…Florida has 103 specialty plates, Nevada has far fewer, so I didn’t’ count, Oklahoma, once I got to 120 I stopped, they have many, many NASCAR tags, and that easily outpaced (pun intended) the other states. A google search found an article in the Tennessean stated that Tennessee had 128, but I’m sure Oklahoma beats that. It would be difficult to really answer the question without clearly defining “specialty” as many states also have extra plates for military, law enforcement, etc, and lump those in. So ,not official, or scientific, but more to debate, nonetheless.
Oh, and I use a Nokia 6235i in the US.

I’ve got a Sony Ericsson K750i over here in the UK.

And the only fancy licence plates we get over here are illegal - you have to have a boring, standard yellow rectangle with a standard, boring typeface in standard, classic black at a standard size.
Some folks go for different typefaces, smaller sizes, and fancy stuff like that (mostly on badly modded cheap cars or fast sportsbikes), but PC Plod has a tendency to get annoyed by those if they’re having a bad day.

This is interesting…

Sponsoring a New Plate in NV

If your group or organization wishes to sponsor a new specialty plate, you will need to collect the name, address and signature of 1,000 motorists…

Once a specialty plate has been approved by the Commission on Special License Plates and production is allowed under the 25-plate maximum, the sponsoring group meets with the DMV for guidelines on color, character placement and other plate requirements.

The group must then submit its formal proposed art work to the DMV, which may ask for changes based on technical factors. Once the design is agreed upon, the department will produce prototypes.

Don’t know who has the most custom plates available, but Utah does seem to have a lot: at least 35

http://www.dmv.utah.gov/license.html

You could probably up that by another 10 if you went for the option of your car being a 73 or older, then you can use the original issue plates that were available that car’s model year.


243   Terry Tolleson ~ 27 January 2006 at 08:51 AM

1. Joshua Steimle is correct with Maryland having a whopping 700+ list of options to choose from. It is quite robust.
Elsewhere:
Nevada: 40
Florida: 100
Texas: 120
New York State: 255

I think it is safe to say Maryland has definitely dominated the special license plate market.

I think Texas actually has around 150 - that doesn’t win but I’d figure I’d throw it in. The extra ones might be ones like ‘Log Loader’and ‘congressman’ And, these plates created $8,228,873 in revenue in ‘04.

In early 2007, I will be sitting on Takapuna beach in New Zealand, using an iPod as my main device. After calling my wife on it, I will flip over the click-wheel panel to reveal a small keyboard. SafariMobile will launch, and I’ll key in cameronmoll.com to see when book #2 is coming out, and email you a quick note.

Ah, but that’s several dreams away. For now, I’ll stick with my Nokia 6230 in California.

Very excited about the book, Cameron. Can’t wait to see it.

316   evano ~ 28 January 2006 at 10:21 PM

This may be duplicating something in one of the 311 comments before mine, but, I found this article (http://tinyurl.com/c9qwc) on the Center for Indidvidual Freedom (CFIF) site discussing freedom of speech issues regarding specialty and vanity plates. In 2002, when the article was published, the author reported, “Texas has over 150 designs; Virginia more than 300. Not to be one-upped by its southern neighbor, Maryland has over 350 designs.” At the Maryland MVA site, they have a listing (http://tinyurl.com/cq7jr) of all the plates you can get, with links to images of each one. There are hundreds! 25 for “A”, including the Annapolis Woodworkers Association, 56 for “B”, including the Baltimore Duckpin Bowlers Association. I only counted as far as “F” — 196 different plates in the first 6 letters of the alphabet. I’d be hard-pressed to believe there’s a state with more!


317   evano ~ 28 January 2006 at 10:45 PM

Okay, so I have no life. On the Maryland MVA site, I counted 691 available Association & Organization plates. There are also combat-related plates available, based on whatever military award or honor you may have received. Then there’s the “Save the Chesapeake Bay” plate, the “Agricultural Heritage” Plate, the Disabled Veterans, etc… Wouldn’t it be great if Maryland managed to merge your 2 requests together and offered specialty plates based on what kind of cellphone you have? Mine would be a Motorola V551.

720 Maryland— http://www.marylandmva.com/VehicleServ/SpecialtyPlates/product.asp
180 Virginia— http://www.dmv.state.va.us/webdoc/citizen/vehicles/plates.asp
179 New York— http://www.nydmv.state.ny.us/cplates.htm

100 Florida— http://www.taxcollect.com/Content.aspx?ContentID=291&CommandID=2&DeptID=12
90 Tennessee— http://www.state.tn.us/safety/plates.html
27 Nevada— http://www.dmvnv.com/platescharitable.htm
26 Oregon— http://www.lcd.state.or.us/ODOT/DMV/vehicle/plates.shtml

11 California— http://www.dmv.ca.gov/online/elp/elp.htm
8 Nebraska— http://www.dmv.state.ne.us/dvr/specialty/index.html

Maryland is approximate because they didn’t give a total, so I had to keep a running total in my head. Whew!

Motorola RAZR V3c on Verizon (Albany NY Area).

As a side note, Verizon notoriously cripples the Bluetooth OBEX profile on their phones, so generally speaking, you cannot transfer data from a Verizon phone to a bluetooth enabled computer. Most Verizon phones with Bluetooth only support wireless Bluetooth headsets.

What is interesting about the RAZR V3c on Verizon is that the Bluetooth is not crippled (I use it to transfer MP3s and images from my iBook and also synchronize my contacts with iSync, both which do not work on other Verizon phones without hacking) even though the documentation that comes with the phone clearly states that the OBEX profile is not supported.
