Re: Lost: Quad-copter with GoPro Hero 3 attached

The best practices for UAV operation adopted by Burning Man participants were promoted in the JRS, on the website, on the Facebook page and on Twitter. They were developed after the Survival Guide went to press. Unfortunately, there were multiple UAVs going down (one missing a participant by about 1...

Found - Silver thumb drive w/photos at Media Mecca

I've got a silver Patriot Memory thumb drive with photos on it of some guy named Pete. If you can tell me the two types of cameras you used to shoot photos (they're listed in the file names) the thumb drive is yours. Email me at ronjon@burningman.com Jim Graham Communications Director Burning Man an...

A statistical analysis of BM crime statistics (granted, the last time I did this was post-'2003) was that most crimes had dropped dramatically. The only increase was in minor drug infractions, which skyrocketed with the increase in enforcement of those crimes. Those were citations. If someone had th...

You forget the ice riots of 2000? Or the Earth Guardian uprising of '98?

Rockdad,
Thank you. I appreciate it. Mine will be going out tomorrow.

Having eased myself out of the mainstream of BM (except for helping new burners in the Santa Cruz area and mocking noobs on Tribe) I miss the give and take of the eplaya.

Bob,
If you did that, I would respect it. Dead serious.

P.S. I was never a fan of rope lights, either. But however you procured that big rope. Damn.

Truth be told, a fax is as good as a snail mail. I'll see if I can track down a BLM fax line. I do community stuff challenging the PUC - http://www.feltonflow.org . And faxes from citizens have had an effect. I have always respected Bob, though I'm pretty sure we've "howdy'd, but never shook." Here'...

And another thing

This is about the fifth time I've registered for the eplaya. I've been posting to it since they rolled it out.

Who was the dude who created 15 personalities on the eplaya and caused all the ruckus?

Works for me. Assuming Bob is Bob Stahl, we've butted heads before. I'm no supporter of the LLC, but I still like the event and I don't like the ticket price and I'm no fan of the BLM.

You get to choose. That's what makes this country great.

While that might be the case for the LLC, this is for a lower level staffer who's trying to help and has done a lot for the org without the need for taking credit for it.

So deal.

BLM proposing raising fees - your help needed

Hey all, I haven't posted in a while. I'm posting this for an org member who is eplaya challenged. Except for that, this is dead serious: [b]WE NEED YOUR HELP...NOW!
