I was waiting in the Philly airport's new A West international terminal wing, watching Metropolis on VCD, when a gentleman tapped me on the shoulder and asked if I had network access. It turns out he was on his way to Amsterdam from San Francisco and was appalled at the lack of wi-fi bubbles and the general lack of knowledge of what the hell a "bubble" was. I told him that I didn't have network access, but I hadn't really checked, and if he had a moment I could fire up KisMAC and check out the local traffic. Unfortunately for us there really was nothing all around, and we ended up chatting for a while. He had recently acquired a 17" Powerbook and was eager to show it to me. He was also into photography (described himself as "moving into professional") and had a Canon G5. We showed each other photos we had taken and he complemented me on several of my photographs - the Bosque del Apache, Crystal at the wall at the meteor crater, one of the VLA shots - and told me I had a very good eye for framing and composition. He even encouraged me to enter some of my photographs into contest!
In any event we talked shop for a while and exchanged contact info, and promised to keep in touch. I showed him Rendezvous and booted in to Panther to show him Expose and the new finder running on a live box.
After he left I gave Crystal a call but couldn't reach her, so I left her a voicemail instead. Then it was time to board my flight!
