Transit

I took an evening flight from SFO to Tucson last night. It was a full flight on a small plane and I’m pretty sure half the people on the plane were headed to the Grace Hopper Conference.

When I got tmy hotel room I opened the sliding doors, stepped out onto the balcony and looked up and immediately saw Cassiopeia.

I left the door open to let in fresh warm air and got a bunch of moths flying around so I captured most of them and sent them back outside — too bad there isn’t a screen door.

This morning I woke up to this view of a hillside of cacti and street lines of clouds.

I met some new friends for breakfast (Moya introduced me to Anne who introduced me to Patricia and then Colleen complimented my shoes and then others also showed up for breakfast!).  I got my registration badge and Hopper assignment and couldn’t figure out how to order the colors and words.  This is what I ended up with – trying not to make the green and red look to christmas-ish!

My hackintosh is back to 10.5.6 after a trial run with snow leopard.  I’m hoping this NetBookInstaller/NetBookMaker get some bugs fixed soon for mic & headphones – it’s a much cleaner path to hackintoshing! Thanks, Meklort!
