**EDIT: We have found a new kitty sitting home for Kiki. Thank you so much to everyone who helped us get the word out, and for all the awesome suggestions**. We had intended to have our friends in Sacramento cat sit for Kiki while we’re at Burning Man. Previously, Kiki and their cats have gotten […]

Burning Man Bound & Camp Nomadia
Whew. What a hectic few weeks it has been as we’ve traversed the western US in way too quick of a pace with very limited connectivity. But we have just landed in San Jose, CA to attend iOSDevCamp (an iPhone developer’s unconference) this weekend – and then we track back eastward towards Burning Man! For […]
Camp Nomadia 2010 – A Burning Man Theme Camp

They depart one week later, having […]

Connected at Burning Man
If you looked hard enough, for years now there have been options for communicating with the outside world at Burning Man via internet or satellite phone. (Not to mention via the exaggeratedly disgruntled Black Rock City Post Office…) For as long as 802.11 has existed, some geeks have enjoyed the challenge of building a public […]
Travelogue: St. Louis to Burning Man
Time Period: July 29 – August 28 Miles Driven: 2764 The last segment of our Summer 2009 travels was wrapping up our cross country adventure and arriving for Burning Man. With a month ahead of us to get there, we looked for ways to optimize backroads and scenic routes. We aimed to visit a few […]
Burning Man From Start to Finish
One of the wonderful things about early arrival and staying late at Burning Man – is that you get to experience a more complete evolution of this temporary city. Each day at Burning Man has a different energy as the population rises and falls. Prior to gate open, you know that everyone around you at […]
Virgins at Burning Man
Three years ago, I was a Burning Man virgin. However, I disappointed Chris – as Black Rock City simply and immediately felt like home. I wasn’t awestruck and in need of acclimation or transformation. I took to it like a fish in water.. err.. dust. I was meant to be here. He explained to me […]
