i'm pretty sure nudity is prohibited by nevada law.

i'm trying to gather a few dollars to bring a really amazing technomadic art-car to burning man. i used this cool service called 'dropcash' to start the campaign, which uses paypal and is free. here's my fundraiser, please donate what you can! http://www.dropcash.com/campaign/nym/roamnet/ :D -Nym ht...

No offense lady, but all the 'work' you've put in isn't all that much. All that money you've invested is like $20 tops, unless you paid someone more than average for hosting and domain regisration, and you still don't have a simple way to download or listen to your music. And I'm pretty sure you don...

Can you put those tracks on http://slipperycat.com/ ?

Thanks,

BRC now has a red light district. What the hell are you talking about? Seriously. You can start with cites. Calm down badger, I am not trolling. Don't assume everyone is making up shit just for you to discredit. I don't appreciate you calling me I liar without giving me half a chance. http://www.tr...

From all the posts that I've read so far about this happening (or where it was mentioned, anyway) people seem to be pretty negative about it. I would think that even in the red light district it wouldn't be kosher. That's like saying in the black light district it would be cool to eat a pill out in...

Just curious what people think, since Burning Man is such a open-minded community and BRC now has a red light district.

I'm just stirred up because you seem to be bitching about not being granted diplomatic immunity while at Burning Man. That's not realistic. I'd be happy just to have freedom of speech. Is that realistic? Burning Man should be a mecca of anti-censorship. The JL incident was a clear case of LE abusin...

please organize with the embassy. they have been doing a satellite uplink since 1999 and wifi for the entire city. i think the community would appreciate a stronger, faster uplink, then one uplink that's spread across the playa and a totally divergent network that is unable to access other playa ser...

I don't think I'll ever see enough bare breasts. Maybe if we saw them more often, nudity wouldn't be so taboo.

Sounds like burningman might be a great proving ground for new tech like this before it is sold to business. Bob A Well, thingster is mentioned as being a tool for "businesses and individuals" because it's A) Free B) Powerful and C) Free. Unlike much open source software out there, Thingster is BSD...

Can someone please make an electric fence maze? Pretty please?

Overly detailed spatial references are a little irrelevent, IMO, when your experience encompasses the whole BRC area and not just your own campsite. AFAIK, there's already at least one mapping ap out there that was customized for the event, but the editing front end involved something like batch pr...

GeoImage Talks!

Psychogeography Walks!

I want to educate, bring digicameras and gpses, with data cables.

We should have an event at the beginning of the event, and then again on friday or sunday. More details soon...

papabear:

sounds great, let me know where you're located. my email is [email protected]

happy to help people out on and off the playa!

Roam-net is not mac based, but when I originally created that page, we had mostly macs due to the donations we were recieving. Now we're more PC based, running windows and Red Hat Linux (now called Fedora).

Any and all donations are appreciated, as long as they're not commodor 64's.

you are promoting your business. that is advertising. Promoting a free, non-profit service is not the same as promoting a business. Thingster is not a business, it is non-profit, and there is absolutely no advertising on the site. We put our hard earned dollars into providing a fast service, with a...

Playastation looks pretty neat! Similar to http://slipperycat.com/ (also available at BRC) with your music. Are you a Plone developer, or just an adopter? Thingster has been built from scratch, and while similar in goal to Playastation and PlayaInfo, it's a bit more complex because it does cool thin...

Thanks technopatra for reading up on us. I'm sorry for sounding corporate or slick, I know things like people writing "SEX.COM" in the sky have made participants more waary of evildoers. This is our first year out at Burning Man with thingster, but we were at BM last year with the technomadic traile...

Thingster will be available from any laptop with WiFi on the playa, as well as at public terminals at Gigsville and The Brane. The domain name may change when we get to the playa, but basically the way to reach it is http//thingster.org/username, for example http://thingster.org/nym/ is all my files...

it's non-profit and open source... how is that borderline advertising? do you see any profit? thingster is the effort of two guys trying to improve communication and event planning on the playa. if you're not interested in communication on the playa, fine, but please appreciate the fact that we've p...

I'm in need of a backup person to tow a small art car to black rock city for a reasonable fee.

Thingster ( http://thingster.org/ ) is going to be at Black Rock City this year. http://thingster.org/style/thingster.jpg Thingster is a massive meta machine aimed at allowing people to blog, publish events, and share photos.
