Yes, I have been very absent from this blog, I have been working tirelessly on PlateWire, the codebase has increased by almost 100% since the "Big Bang" (November 20th, when the article in the Washington Post went out)!

As the days have progressed, the quality of submitted "Wires" has increased exponentially. Our hopes that PlateWire will be an effective tool in minimizing traffic injuries is materializing!

I'm in talks with individuals willing to help launch versions in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand!

I've also added a CafePress, with the help of my beautiful wife Heather, she pretty much designed all of the products, including my favorite, the "Kiss My Bumper" sticker!

My Holiday greetings goes out to everyone, please be safe on the roadways, make it home safe to your family and loved ones.

Wow! What a day, the Washington Post's Eric Weiss wrote an article that featured my website, http://platewire.com (Washington Post Article Online). I guess the article first went out in last nights' late edition. I was under the impression that we had until this upcoming weekend to launch our new version, nope! At about 2 a.m. I decided to look at our traffic, lo and behold, we had over 10K visitors! So with a quickness I removed certain modules that werent quite ready for showtime , and sans the final design (long story) we pre-emptively launched PlateWire Beta 5.

I'm currently slammed with testing and tweaking all of the new features and functionality, so there will be little sleep for me for the next few days.

I plan to have all features installed and tested by Friday.

Please keep the wonderful feedback coming, we love to hear your thoughts and ideas!

Live long and prosper,

One fundamental problem with driving these days has to do with accountability. People can do whatever they want as long as a cop doesn't see it regardless of the type of headache they are causing other people.

Well, if you cause trouble, draw a few eyes, or are a great driver then you are likely to show up on Platewire. Platewire is a site that allows you to enter the plate number of a car that you came across on the road as a flag, hazard, flirt, or award. If you don’t have a pad and paper handy in the car you can always call-in a plate number and retrieve it later.
