Eric Bellmore |
Vehicle: 94' 4WD Chevy S10 Plate Registered: 1999 | Eric works as a Web Developer/Programmer for the Central Michigan University Office of Information Technology. As he puts it "I'm a WebNerd, it's just truth in advertising... And because I hate being called a geek. Geeks are for sideshows... I'm a NERD and proud of it." |
 |
Richard Seweryniak | This plate is on a racing SVT Mustang Cobra 1997 and numbers #1438 out of 6961 built that year. | Richard is an Internet Developer and Web Applications Developer with Cisco Systems as well as the founder of DevelopYour.COM. He began his online existence with ARPANet with a 300 baud modem and has seen many changes along the way. |

Doug Johnson | This plate is a California "Save The Whales" Plate. It was first registered in August of 1998. This plate sits proudly on a brilliant silver Y2K Mercedes-Benz C230 Kompressor. | Doug is the owner of an Internet Services company called Outta-Site Productions in Orange County, CA. Says Doug, "I could not beleive that it had not already been taken when I logged into California's online plate database. Silicon Valley nerds, eat your heart out. The Silicon Coast Rules!" |

| This plate is registered in Virginia. | Jeff Duffy describes himself as "a Perl programmer and general sysadmin type. Obviously, I am a staunch supporter of GNU software and the Open Source movement." |

Jitinder Sethi | This California/Yosemite plate was registered in February 1998, and adorns a 1998 Ford Mustang. | Jitinder joined Oracle in the UK in 1996, where he was born and raised. He moved to the Silicon Valley in January 1998, where he is a SoFTware EnGineeR on Oracle's Forms product. |

Malcolm MacLeod | Registered in November 1998, just in time to go to COMDEX. It shares 1991 Astro Van with a 10" Y2K Bug in the side window. | Malcolm tells us that "when I selected a new domain name, I wanted a name that could also be a license plate. It was a real challenge, finding a meaningful 3-character domain name that was still available, consisting of letters & numbers that would make a legal & available Colorado license plate!" To his knowledge, it's one of the only license plates in existence with a full, legal domain name. |

Christopher Knight | The EMAILIT license plate was registered on October 1999, and Chris' wife's "PENTIUM" license plate was registered on October 20th, 1992, which was the first date that Wisconsin allowed 7 character plates instead of 6. It is on the back of her Rx300 and EMAILIT adorns a black, 2 door, Lexus SC400 with a wing, and 295 HP V8. Oh yeah. | Christopher M. Knight, otherwise known as "Sparky," said that the "EMAIL IT" plate sums up how he makes a living, via permission-based email list related services. The "Pentium" plate was registered because he built and sold a PC hardware sales and service center for 7 years. This plate is on Mrs. Sparky's Lexus as she was the former General Manager and purchasing agent for the company (PC Specialists). |

Richard Sherman | This Arizona plate was registered in 1991, and adorns a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee. | "I'm a writer, speaker, and a syndicated columnist, best known in Internet circles (well, small circles) as "Mr. Modem." I write the "Ask Mr. Modem!" column that appears in many publications around the country - and if it doesn't appear in your local publication, accept no substitutes, ask the publisher for it by name! www.MrModem.net is my Web site which contains more information about - who else, Mr. Modem!" |

Kevin M. Eggers | This Virginia plate was registered in June 1999, and resides on a 1989 red Cadillac Allante convertible. | Kevin is a self-taught independent web designer, and currently runs Estudio Web Design. "In 1999, armed with a portfolio, and an eye for design, the jobs starting coming in rapidly, and haven't slowed down a bit. This plate seemed appropriate since I learned that enough effort and determination focused on a growing market will eventually pay off." Kevin actually reserved the plate several months in advance, and ordered it once he "finally found the car of his dreams". |
|
Bill Elliott | This Arizona plate was registered in 1992 and adorns a '74 Cadillac El Dorado. | Bill's a training consultant/Web developer and found himself telling his students to 'hit return' with each keyboard entry. Hence, he named his company "Hit Return," to reflect that. "I guess now, to be more politically correct, we should rename ourselves to Press Enter... but, there's a bit of nostalgia there...." |
|
Scott Clark | This Kentucky plate adorns a 1995 BMW 325i. | "The reason for the plate is that I am president of a small Web development firm in Lexington. The plate gets lots of comments - it draws people to the frame which has my 888-OnTheWeb phone number. Sometimes the calls are transferred to my car phone - completing the great circle of entrepreneurship!" |
|
Gail Katagiri | Registered in 1997 this Californian plate adorns a Toyota 4Runner. |
"My Toyota 4Runner, registered in 1997, displays these plates, which
frankly don't attract that much attention from all the wired folks in
San Francisco's Multimedia Gulch and Silicon Valley.
However, when I ventured out of California, a confused person in Utah once asked me if I'm a petroleum engineer with a speech defect... perhaps I couldn't correctly pronounce 'oil.'" |
|
Cathy McRae | "I first registered the plate in December of 1996." | "When I purchased my plate I was working at (and still do) an ISP. I am always on my computer and using the Internet. I was labelled a computer nerd for quite some time so this handle seemed appropriate. I am now known as net nerd or netnrd for short." |
|
Spider Starre | Registered in 1997 this plate graces a 1987 Toyota Camry. | This plate belongs to Spider Starre, Internet Web site developer and Perl CGI programmer. Spider's SO's license plate is TOPLESS :) |
