The Tech of Burning Man

very unfair description of the event. I have been writing reports of it for the last 4 years now (akin to
the linux show reports I used to do), and my 2005 report is the biggest one yet (1440 pictures, and a fairly complete overview page, showing the highlights) You can also look at the burning man index page (with pictures from the sky), and look at my first 2002 report for a view as a first timer."
Hippies. They're everywhere. They wanna save the earth, but all they do is smoke pot and smell bad.
Are naked hippies work safe?
Uh. Ever considered that the whole burning man thing has its roots in paganism...
dudes they are going DOWN. 1400 pictures, many of them on the front page! HAHA FEEL THE WRATH!
"Burning Man"? no: "Burning Servers"!
and Linux.
The latest Slashdot meme.
This group of hippies is different, man ... they're deep ...
That white American suburbanites have too much money and too much time on their hands. They are too fat, too weak, too drugged, too much of everything. C'mon natural selection, where is our war, pestilence, and drought?
Put the word 'naked' in a story with thousands of pictures and post it first thing Monday morning. Sounds like a DDOS attack.
GILES: And how was your summer?
JENNY: Extreme. I did Burning Man in Black Rock. It's such a great festival -- you should have been there. There were drum rituals, naked mud-dances, raves, mobile sculptures, you would have just... hated it with a fiery passion.
GILES: Yes, I can't imagine finding any redeeming -- naked?
It's all just a bunch of tree-hugging hippie crap!
(Sorry, had to get the Cartman quote out of my system.)
Seriously though, who really cares about a bunch of brain damaged losers trying to save the world one reefer at a time?
It went something like this
Acquaintance: "Hey I went to Burning Man last week!"
Me: "Why?"
Acquaintance: (stunned by my question) "It's BURNING MAN!"
It's so clear now.
Some of you have probably heard of burning man, but most of those who haven't gone probably don't know that saying that it's just a bunch of naked hippies meeting in the desert to smoke pot, is a very unfair description of the event.
This is such a horrible misconception. There are many other kinds of drugs available besides pot!
Why taunt the slashdot dweebs? Most would feel out of place there even after taking the various pharmaceuticals available onsite. It's a party, and we know how well geeks do at parties.
Imagine two people arguing through a thick mental fog of ecstasy, pot and a little ketamine over the question of which linux distro is more secure out of the box. Somebody would be bound to pants you.
All that carbon released more than makes up the difference saved by hybrid cars and conservation.
I suggest you read Slashdot
I hope my submitted story about the Sears Catalog having almost naked ladies gets approved now.
Where does the school board find them and why do they keep sending them to ME?
and no, I didn't do drugs there (apart from a few random joints and lots of alcohol).
So what you mean by "didn't do drugs" is that you did, in fact, do a lot of drugs?
In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is kinky.
Funny, I didn't spot a single iPod in that gallery.
Of course not; that's "so four years ago", which I believe I alluded to in the original message.
If they have iPods, they're probably iPod Nanos which are discreetly stored up their left nostril.

Have _you_ gone to burningman?
No, I think he went to Birmingham by mistake; that's why he was pissed off.
