i cant believe there arent more of these things... http://www.bweebweebwee.com/tensegrity/ we took one of these bad boys for the first time this year and it was... strong enough for three hammocks (actually the hammocks make it stronger) super cool and breezy with a shade cloth sail ($35 on ebay) .....

after the weird theme (couldnt it just have been dream or universal dream or anything else?!) and all of the nasty prohibitive signs on the way in, i was shocked and appalled to see my fellow burner brethren lined up in a blocking type fashion and prevented from leaving the will call area right afte...

oh that was years ago :(

oh yeah i am a real baby and terrified of heights - perfect for flying!! i would never ever EVER strap myself in and would probably drop it if i got more than 5 feet off the ground. but god, can you imagine??! skeetshooter, i have since found that a couple groups from the bay area kiteboarding thing...

has anyone done this? as in take a stunt kite or kiteboarding kite and just run and jump and catch tiny drafts. obviously im not talking about flying around the perimeter of the event this way, but if i could be picked up even like 2 feet higher than i jumped i would be insanely happy about it.

dont worry, the air will be plenty moist in there, but i hadnt really thought of that, so thanks too!

i read about one that used about 1 litre in 4 hours, but they seem to have highly variable liquid consumption. ill just have to try that...2 refills a night isnt so bad !!

i need advice on bubble machine lasting power...we will be running them all night, and they will be mounted up high where we will have to climb to reach them for refills. does anyone have experience with machines that did or didnt last a certain amount of time on a tank of fluid??? youd think this w...

ok i realize im dum in many ways. i had my questionnaire almost filled out and forgot to send it in the moment of truth to the art people. i just realized perhaps it would be a bad idea to drop all my shit off on the playa with the truck after the event starts...i cant find the art peoples email add...

..for 10-20 people (i know). were pouring our hearts, minds and monies into our art installation, and have found ourselves without a real camp area. we want to build a little sumpin sumpin for lounging, what is the cheapest structure you can think of? we have shade cloth, sheets, contents, etc etc. ...

We are coming from Southern California (LA plus maybe a pickup in SD). Getting a trailer is the least difficult part; getting something to pull it with seems the most costly.

Any ideas cheaper than renting a truck plus paying for all that mileage?

Can anyone provide recommendations on the CHEAPEST way to transport about a 10' moving truck worth of art installation equipment to and from the playa?

Thanks,

MAKE magazine has a beginner microcontroller kit and tons and tons of LED projects, big and small, posted online by their users. I'm learning on the 'What is a BASIC stamp microcontroller?' kit from RadioShack. Expensive, but invaluable - especially if you work in science and/or have an interest in ...

weve got a little something going that requires quite complicated light effects using microcontrollers and LEDs. do you know where to find more information on the circuitry of these intangible abstract gibbledy gobbly objects? do they make sense to YOU? do you know what materials i need? i will to d...
