Sorry, I meant to include some links in my previous post. The official BORG2 web site, from which you can register to vote and browse candidate platforms (and even donate $$$!!), is here: http://www.BORG2.org/ I have a site that provides links to platforms as well as articles that have been written ...

As most of you know, BORG2 is a contingent within Burning Man that is lobbying loudly for more and better art on the playa, and is undertaking independent fundraising efforts to get more art out to BRC. BORG2 will be led by an art curator and a council of nine members. These positions are elected an...

ps. am not trying to make light of the allegations. Just as someone who is not privy to the inner workings of bmorg, nor to the inner-workings of NYC happenings, it seems like what happened here is that money was not as scrupulously accounted for as was required for the situation. And I personally c...

This discussion makes me realize how easy it must be to mess financial things up if you aren't extremely rigorous from the GET GO, because any money left in limbo may fuck things up royally later. It makes me think that if I end up part of the art council, someone is going to have to be sweating the...

> When I said this I started a shitstorm, got called names, and kicked out of Borg2.

Amy, what do you mean when you say you got kicked out of BORG2?

As for the discussion about Lady Merv's involvement in the financing, I think it's good that concerns are discussed openly. But I think we'll all benefit if we can try to avoid being mean-spirited (that includes you, Jim, and even you a little bit Amy and just about every else.) > The whole Borg2 pr...

Amy, I think jim's response was visceral because he, like so many other people, have had personal experience with Lady Merv, and allegations she was involved in embezzlement have been hard to take. BUT I think it's good to see concerns raised. I think hearing from actiongrl and others here who have ...

I can't believe there's no discussion about this here on the eplaya. The borg2 tribe is jumping with ideas. If you're interested in this topic, consider reading the borg2 tribe over on tribe.

Amy Shapiro, especially you. You have really good concerns.

Unfortunately, the old eplaya is down:

http://oldbbs.burningman.com/

Or I'd do a search there for prior comments of DVR.

Interesting, I hadn't noticed the anagram before!

But I've seen the DVR moniker post elsewhere, just trying to remember where...

Wow, now tell us what you really think, Mr. Van Rhey!

Why are you so pissed off at Larry? Your personal bias is showing.

And calling Isotopia a sheep-like thinker? Why that's just ridiculous.

Wow, that image is really wreaking havoc with my crush on Doyle.

I think Papa Bear and Bob should get married, and then rule the world.

Hahahaah

I think I scared DVD Burner into silence!!!!

Didn't know I had the talent!

I'll hang out with ya dvd burner!!!!

Just tell me where and when except thursday night after 8pm.

My most recent blog entry: Stymied Research Efforts 09/28/04 I am going to have to start writing letters to the editor at the New Yorker. A few weeks ago I read a review there by Adam Gopnik of several recently published war histories-- specifically WWI and WWII. One idea discussed was especially th...

My real question is: why do we take it upon ourselves to impose our values on other countries? Which is what we are doing anytime we get involved with foreign matters. We are so sure we are right, eh?

> Need I even mention Pol Pot? Um, I don't know my history and bow to your knowledge. However, I read an interesting article not too long ago that suggested if the U.S. had stayed out of WWII, the german intellectuals would have stopped Hitler themselves. It just makes me think that we do not know w...

Leave Sudan alone. They can take care of their own problems. It is imperialistic to suggest that we, the U.S., sweep in there and "fix" things.

Brilliant idea! Will you be popping zits also? It could be a "body effluvium" camp!

Dear Pets,

If you were running for president, I would definitely vote for YOU.

Turns out it's a browser issue. I have no problems connecting to gmail using Safari, but using Netscape 7.1 on OSX will not connect.

And that's all the thought I'm going to give it for now.

Thanks again IceP!!!!

Icepack, thanks for the feedback.

It's not my account that's the problem,
as I'm not even getting to the point of logging in.

But knowing gmail is still up for others gives
me a lot to work with.

I think we will all eventually sacrifice our desire for privacy as we see that it brings less value to our lives than the speed and convenience with which we can do things, if we are willing to give up some privacy. I studied privacy law, such as it is, in law school, and it's not a topic I take lig...

hi Sensei, I didn't know you cared! I'm over on tribe now, you can find me at http://angrylibrarians.tribe.net/ I mention the eplaya occasionally when burners on tribe are looking for resources that they can't find on tribe. I came over here today myself to look for sober camps, because I'm going to...

Doc, I'll be there, I'm pretty sure, like 85%

Also may have Unbe with me.

I heard yesterday they'll be at 7:30 and Esplanade,
which is probably where I'll end up too.

I slept in the back of my saab hatchback my first year. I was with an old girlfriend and her new boyfriend and decided I didn't want to share (a largish) tent with them. I was out there three nights, slept two in the car and one elsewhere, but both nights in the car were reasonably comfortable becau...

Don't listen to these losers wildeone.
