She is tired of hiding from the Turing Police choppers.
Standing outside the Evil Giga Shaft Corporation (GSC), she have hacked the buildings security, still to 'do a HAL' on the their mainframe is not gonna be a stroll in the park.
Looking up at the tiny moon, its cold appearance seems to somehow to give her strength...
As she crosses the street towards her destiny she walk the way she talk it, like every bad-ass hero she know, Bruce Lee, Steve McQueen, Clint Eastwood, Sigourney Weaver and Molly... Watching all that pirate bay old movie download is about to be put in good use to give black hat security dudes a bad day at work!
Last paragraph is of course loosely from the great author William Gibson's novel Neuromancer, particular the last name of bad-ass heroes...

Hacker: A person who delights in having an intimate understanding of the internal workings of a system, computers and computer networks in particular. (From RFC 1392)
They're cool. The bad connotation seems to have come about primarily from media reports of people breaking computer security for nefarious purposes. This happened when the word wasn't widely used by people other than self proclaimed hackers. Since the news tends to report on things gone wrong, the general public only heard the word used in a negative sense.
In the positive sense, hacker can include just about anyone making and improving open source software. Thanks to their efforts, no commercial software, besides the firmware on the camera and computer, was used in the creation of this image. Instead, I used Rawtherapee, Digikam, and enfuse running on Linux.
Not all hackers look like this. Some wear suits. Some are less conspicuous. Some don't wear glasses. Some don't like coffee.
Here's a handy hack I've been using lately to carry a map and notes along with my hacked Moleskine Weekly Planner notebook.
I use a standard 3" x 5" yellow sticky note to draw a map, with directions, address, phone numbers and whatever else I might need to get to my meeting.
Then I attach the long, sticky edge to the spine side of the Moleskine (left edge) and then slide the loose edge of the stick note under the elastic band (right side), so it won't catch the corners in my pocket.
Once I'm done with the map, I can save it in the back of my Moleskine for later use, or toss it out.
This approach also works well for task lists and any other at-a-glance information you need to see without opening up the Moleskine.
Also known as West Secaucus Movable Bridge, Upper Hack Lift Bridge was built by the Delaware Lackawanna & Western Railroad back in March of 1959. It is a single-track lift bridge that carries NJ Transit's Main Line over the Hackensack River between Lyndhurst and Secaucus, NJ. The bridge is the newest movable bridge on NJ Transit and is the only single-track lift bridge in the state of New Jersey. It is seen here carrying Main Line train 1116 with NJT 4204 east out.

8. Slickr. One of the things that is cool about Flickr is that there is an amazing amount of fanastic images online. This is cool and all but Flickr's slide show functionality sucks, it's not full screen, etc. This is where Slickr comes in. Slickr allows you the ability to point Slickr to someone's photostream, your photos marked favorites, etc., etc. and then actually download full high res photos of all of whatever you point it to to your computer. It was developed by Gabriel Hanford. Once on your hard drive you can better make use of these images for your screen saver or for your desktop backgrounds and all that. One of my favorite things to do is to sit back and watch my Media Center PC rotate through my favorites from Flickr on beautiful full high res clarity.
One note with this. You might want to check out the photo license of the photos that you choose to download with Slickr. Although Slickr works with all licenses, technically you'd be breaking the rules by downloading an all rights reserved licensed photo. Creative Commons licensed photos of course (like mine) are free to use for non commercial (in my case) use and if you want to download all of my images for your screen saver, desktop, etc., or even just one of my sets like Superfaves, feel free.

Left off the buttons down the back, and the sleeves. Used bias binding around the neck and armholes instead of facing pattern pieces.
