It is not stars, though I wish they were, but instead the more prosaic dust on the inside of my windshield of which the flash illuminated. I thought I had the flash off, but it was not.
Even with a super duper megapixel camera on 1600 ISO, one would not have been able to get this photo with stars, as I would have had to been outside the car with the camera on a tripod and made the auto carrier truck stayed park on the freeway ramp for at least 2-5 min exposure to get the stars to show up. Sad but true.
Intertubes Technology - For Men Only : Once again the Web 2.0 conference sparks controversy for the lack of women speakers. You know it is bad when it is men who notice it and blog about it. Hello Web 2.0, innovative thinking and great web creativity is not exclusive to male geeks.

Hi Roland,

thanks jen for revealing what goes on "behind the curtain", too bad it wasn't the stars :-) next time, perhaps with the mythical 8 megapixel nokia :-)
