Penguicon was good. I met Greenfly (who I had previously known of through his Lifebook page), Rob and Hemos (the Slashdot people), and a rather awesome guy named Derek of the uhacc.

I saw an excellent talk on Mozilla by Scott Collins. I was very impressed by his presentation of the subject: it generally had nothing to do with the technology itself, but moreover the overall real-world concepts invloved.

Novi, Michigan was beautiful when we were there. It was coolwarm with a tickle breeze, in a soft, hazed sky. We saw a church with an enormous (150ft) white cross near it. The cross, upon closer inspection, was a cell tower.

There was unlimited Woodchuck cider and sodas in the conroom, which made me quite happy. One of the sodas I tried tasted of red and strawberries; I'll have to hunt it down.

I spent all the money I took out of the ATM on food, but it was worth it; I had a wonderful time.
