Burning Man: Special Ops' On Burncast

This year will be my 9th consecutive year on the Playa.  I'll be driving out to Black Rock City with Special Ops' and Otter in Big Lucy (Op's RV) the week prior to the gates opening to work with the Greeters.  In DaBomb's most recent Burncast Special Ops' discusses what it will be like to go out to the Playa before the event officially opens.  Ops' also shares some personal thoughts about Burning Man past, present and future. Check it...

Hmm, how do we get Myhab out to the Playa?

Wish List: Yurt-tastic!
















Howie Oakes spent years developing a truly portable yurt, and his own words explain it better than I could:

"I have been interested in nomadic homes for a long time, and became fascinated with the yurt after weathering a number of Burning Man dust storms in a small yurt that a friend built. I started looking into what was available, and saw that the typical western yurt had moved well beyond its roots as a truly nomadic home. I think that these yurts do indeed make excellent low impact housing, but I wanted a yurt that my family could easily transport and setup wherever we went."

Playa perfect...TOTALLY want!

Art: Maker Faire Austin Mini-Documentary


Makers - A short-subject documentary about the Do-It-Yourself Counterculture from Brian Boyko.

This documentary about the recent Austin Maker Faire has me even MORE excited about attending the Bay Area Maker Faire this May!  For those who aren't familiar with the Maker Faire (or Make Magazine)...think Urban Burning Man.  Many of the innovations showcased at this event are things I've seen (or will see) out on the Playa.  The Maker Faire offers up the opportunity to get up-close and personal with the artists/Makers behind these mind blowing creations.  Can't wait!
