Gogo

I finally decided to give Gogo Inflight a try on my Delta flight from Denver to Atlanta ... mostly because the $12.95 fee was being waived for first time users, and partly because I finished reading the wrinkled Us Magazine I found in the seat-pocket in front of me. I'm pleased to report that I didn't recognize fully half the names mentioned.

Advice to my readers: use Tor when surfing via in-flight wifi. It's just stupid not to. Or set up an encrypted connection to a home http proxy server or something. Don't be dumb. You know someone like me is watching you otherwise.

So, I asked the flight attendant for a glass of wine. When she came around some time later to offer refills, I said, "yes please ... and just leave the bottle" (which was nearly empty), and she handed me the bottle and said, "you were joking, but you get to keep the bottle anyway." Awesome. I love Delta and Delta loves me.

So I spent some more time in Photoshop and separated the creek (Pine Creek) from the trees and the sky and colorized them each separately. It looks much better.

One other thing: the trackpad on my laptop freaks out on planes. The mouse is jerky and unresponsive most of the time. And then sometimes it's perfectly fine. My imagination says that it has something to do with enormous amounts of interference from the engines or something. I dunno. I'm going to have to ask around.

Update: I uploaded all of my trip photos here. And I took the colorized meadow picture and made a 16:10 background picture out of it, which you can get here.
