LinuxHam's Journal: Got noticed in Manhattan

Just because I haven't said anything in a while. Work has now taken me back to staying in Manhattan. I worked at home for the last 9 months, and lived in hotels for the 11 months prior to that. So, I was driving in Manhattan yesterday, and was the lead car stopped at a red light. 52nd and Broadway, I think. I had the Murano recently cleaned, had an Alien Sex Fiend cd blaring, and had the big ole "LINUX" license plate sticking out into the crowd crossing the street. Suddenly, a guy turns, grabs the two girls with him and pointed at the plate, saying something. Then one of the girls looked up at me and caught me studying their reactions. She smiled at me, I smiled back and gave a slow, deliberate up-and-down headshake as if "that's right!" could be said in such a move. She chuckled and turned to keep walking with her friends.

It was kinda neat seeing some people do exactly what I would have done if it were me walking with my wife and a friend.
