The Expo The bright lights wreaked havoc with my Zaurus' digital camera. Please excuse the vertical stripes in many of the photos.

• Entering Moscone Center!
• Me, wearing my LWE badge (and New Breed Software t-shirt)
• First stop, Sharp's booth!
• Hey, it's Ben Meyer - a recent addition to Sharp!
• Jason Perlow! I have him to thank for my Zaurus
• Nick, a Trolltech troll
• The "Gnome is pronounced 'nome', not 'guh-nome'" (aka "KDE") booth
• FlightGear's booth!
• Jim Brennon, a FlightGear guy from near Sacramento
• Google's booth - I forgot to actually stop by!
• Trolltech's booth
• A photo of me (someone borrowed the Zaurus to play with it)
• I think it was this fellow!
• Another Qtopia-based toy!?
• Woah! It is! And look at that fold-out keyboard!
• Their video demo on what it can do
• Interruption to show off the Zaurus again...
• The video demo was coming off of a solid-state video player, rack-mountable box (with either CF or PCMCIA slot, I couldn't tell)

• Apparently this upcoming toy can play Galaga!
• And some 3D car racing game!
• Hey look! Chris DiBona!
• Trolltech had a Zaurus out, of course
• Hans Uhlig, another Davis person, wandered by
• A Qtopia-based Internet device you connect to TVs; for hotels, for example. Wireless keyboard on the right.
• Someone mentioned that Intel's booth had the new Sharp Zaurus SL-A300 (available only in Japan!). Shown here on the left. (On the right is the US SL-5500 model).
• Another fellow I know off the 'net - Spencer Huang from Sharp! (Showing off the Zaurus SL-A300)
• A close-up of the Zaurus SL-A300, running theKompany.com's "tkcMahJongg"
• The Zaurus SL-A300's sleeve, which provides both a CF slot and extra battery!
• Another shot of the SL-A300's sleeve
• Some beefy Linux-based rack system
• I wandered by the Open Source Education Foundation booth - here's my game TuxMath running on a laptop!
• And TuxPaint, running on...
• ...this huge Xeon-based box
• And of course, Sam Hart's Tux Typing was running
• Harry McGregor from OSEF
• Another person I know off the 'net! Karen Lee (left, obviously) from IBM!
• And another Davisite! John Alden (right) and a friend
• Ack - I forgot who this was!
• IBM had a Linux-based 'smart vending machine'
• And a Zaurus connected to the vending machine's webserver, over wireless
• Tap a link on the Zaurus' web browser, and hey! presto! A bottle of water!
• I got a brief moment to look at IBM and Citizen's Linux-based wristwatch ("WatchPad"), before the developers had to catch a plane
• WatchPad showing time!
• IBM was showing off their upcoming embedded-level PowerPC chip
• Here's the same thing, in pieces...
• Speaking of handhelds, on the way to lunch, I noticed Hans had an old Apple Newton!
• Rather than buy billboards, IBM seemed to prefer driving trucks like this around in circles
• Ok, they also bought ad space in busstops
• IBM showing some clustering render racks
• More...
• More embedded Linux
• Looks familiar from last year
• Our friends at Vovida got an award
• More embedded!
• The Happy Hacking Keyboard folks had a neat tiny little box
• Bill Pollock from No Starch Press!
• Rick Moen!

First, we went to get some food...

• Not as though you can see him, but that's Sean Perry from the Debian project

Then, we jogged to catch the Amtrak bus

• One thing I remember about the Hyatt Regency in SF was the tiles on the sidewalk outside, and floors inside.
• Everyone accounted for? Good!
• Yep - we're at the Hyatt!
• I never got to see it from this angle as a kid
• Stephen had a cool Debian shirt on

Back on the train!

• Getting seated
• Mike Lewis whips out the food he bought at the Public Market in Emeryville
• Yep - I'm safely on the train!
• Stephen Helms pulls out the swag he picked up at LWE
• And the sun starts to set
• And we pass Martinez again

That's it! I hope you enjoyed it!
