While driving around the bay area recently, I’ve seen a couple interesting license plates that I thought I’d post here. Up first is one I saw on the Embarcadero on my way downtown… And man that iPhone camera did a great job of snapping up the action shot!

Is this the Rolando creator's car?

For those of you not familiar with Rolando, I definitely suggest you check it out. They just released the Sequel, Rolando 2. My first impressions are positive, but I haven’t had the time to beat it yet. Moving along, I saw this license plate driving on 880 just south of the Oakland airport a couple months ago. Could this be Will Wright?? Or does someone else just have great taste in vanity plates?

Will, are you in there? Can you pass me some simoleans?

So, have I spotted two tech celebs? If anyone knows, I’d love to hear in the comments!

Exchange Calendar Somewhat Broken on iPhone OS 3.0

The iPhone OS 3.0 software is really great, and it’s ALMOST good enough to be enterprise ready. You would think that after a couple years, Apple could get this right. Here are a couple issues I have. If I accept an exchange calendar invite on my phone, the event appears on my iPhone calendar, but not in my entourage calendar. That’s bad. Conversely, if I accept an event in Entourage, it pretty much instantly appears on my iPhone. They need to fix this.

Additionally, I use iCal for my personal calendaring and Exchange for my work calendaring. If I create a new event on my iPhone, it does not let me select which calendar to put the event on. It automatically assumes I want it on my exchange calendar (which of course, does not get sync’d back to entourage). So if I’m going to a baseball game on Saturday, I can’t add that to my personal calendar since the iPhone just assumes I want that on my work calendar, and even after I put it on my calendar, it doesn’t actually get sync’d back to my desktop client. Sheesh.
