If this idea is still alive, here is a project I remember from eplaya: sideglow fiber project

I want to play with this idea, but sideglow fiber was a bit expensive last time I looked.

Just saw this, from Make Magazine: Evaporative cooler

Hi! :) I'm not from Lubbock but it's nice to meet a fellow Texan! your wagon is AWESOME. is it finished now? The funny thing is, not really. It works so well that I have had little motivation to spruce it up. Since the original build, I have redone the sides due to weather, but have not done the la...

'Nother Texan, chiming in, welcome.

When I made mine, I cut them with a portable band saw, like butter. I second figjam on the angled cut. I wanted 6 stakes, and cut a 10' rebar into 20" pieces. With the candy caned top, I think they ended up a bit short. Of course, I did not have the opportunity to test them, as I forgot to take them...

Doing a class is a great idea, if available. 250 sounds high.

Somewhere in the blogs about playa restoration, I missed what happens withe the open playa. I know that the camps area a source of concentrations of moop, but I picked up quite a bit of moop, wandering around deep playa. ESPECIALLY the ultra-exclusive, members only, feathers required, corporate spon...

Awesome, and with a pedal powered wooly mammoth in the background.

interestingly, the google finds nothing about the "pedal powered wooly mammoth"

The Pier was stellar, and I cannot wait to explore Pier 2. Your reference to La Contessa, reminds me of seeing pictures of her. I was stunned. I remember video floating around, she really created the illusion of a ship sailing off in the distance. I am sure you have plenty of references to spin idea...

Flaming Fucking Golf! Been done?

The camera is a Gateway DC-T50, It is an old 5mp camera, which I have been mostly happy with, but it uses an odd ball battery which is expensive to replace, also I think it only supports up to 512mb sd cards which are now actually more expensive than a 2gb. The battery is dieing, and I can only get ...

I only shot a few, sad little camera is dieing.

I decided to tough it out this year (my first). I think that was a mistake, as I came home with a sore throat/cough, that lasted for about a week. There was no fever, so I assume it was mostly the dust, though it could have been from smoking too much, and sharing drinks, and cigarettes. Nothing like...

What a great response to a harmless addition to your art.
I like led throwies, but they are at least slightly wasteful. At least the magnets and leds are reusable.

Thanks for any help...

I was wondering if anyone else saw the candle lit, covered, long section of tables with white table cloths and it looked like a model runway on the end. The tables were littered with beer cans, decorations, and plates with half eaten food on them. Was this someones art project or a big pile of moop...

I think I did it right this year: I was expecting a bit of a wait for exodus. I made it to the l lines of cars, and BMIR was still saying "5 hour wait." 7+hours later, I was turning onto the blacktop. Before heading to BRC, I had planned to book two nights in a Vegas hotel on the way home just to av...

One day, late in the week, there was a German guy hanging out with my neighbors in a ranger shirt, and hat.
He would heckle passersby: Bike riding by nice and slow... "Slow down!" Hot young girl walking by: "Are you carrying any weapons?"
etc, it was hilarious.

As for the zip line, I was out deep one night checking out playa art, and there was a projection on the globe at the lower end of the line. From the high side descended, damn slowly, two angels dancing their way through the night air. It was gorgeous, but it seemed it might have been a rehearsal. Th...

The Pier, was stellar. And the band playing after the temple burn fit perfectly. Just wow, thank you.

This is the only other source I have seen for side emitting fiber: http://www.fiberopticproducts.com/Sideglow.htm It is pretty close to the same price as the sparkfun link. I am casually looking for a better source, but have found no options so far. ooh... that stuff looks cool... so expensive thoug...

The use of grey water in evaporative coolers has come up several times. I do not have any plans to try this but I did find a useful link.
I think this cooler was used in 2006:http://ae-zone.org/2009/09/the-trashcan ... mp-cooler/

Key word, conformal coating.

I don't usually drink whiskey, but I am bringing a bottle of Jamesons, to drink on the pier, while thinking of my friends who have long since left Burning Man behind.
