Last month, on my work trip to SC07, I had a mishap with the TSA. Being a sysadmin geek, I was flying with 2 laptops(both less than 1 year old high end latitudes), 1 48 port gigE switch, 10lbs of misc cables, crackberry, nikon d200, vr 18-200 lens, macro lens, sb-800 flash, hand full of USB sticks.

The household went to the aquarium today. It was a lot of fun, until everyone melted. But before then, I was playing with long exposures of the fish in the tanks.
