Greetings, it's that time of the year again :) A bit late as always, but here is my big Burning Man report, I hope you'll enjoy it. http://marc.merlins.org/perso/bm/2023/ Feel free to reshare with your friends. As always, if you're feeling nostalgic, older reports (all the way back to 2002) are here...

glad you liked the page, it uses the best HTML from 1995, no lazy loading BS or javascript

Lots of work over weeks, to sort/categorize all the pictures, and write my 12th big report: http://marc.merlins.org/perso/bm/2022/ Feel free to reshare with your friends if you like it. As always, if you're feeling nostalgic, older reports (all the way back to 2002) are here: http://marc.merlins.org...

I guess I never posted 2019, here they are: http://marc.merlins.org/perso/bm/2019/ GREAT PICTURES! I needed a dose of the playa today. Wow One of the best collections I've ever seen that give a slice of the art and look & feel of BM... The first is fairly easy to do, but that second can be so elusi...

Marc, Thank you. Those are beautiful shots. I hope you don't mind I took the liberty of posting one on FB. With your name as photo credit of course.

Not at all, these were meant to share, but thanks for checking

and with delay, I just posted my 2019 version: viewtopic.php?f=69&t=104322

I'm not as late as last year, but still late, sorry :) Lots of work over weeks, to sort/categorize all the pictures, and write my 11th big report: Like last year, trips right after burning man made sure that I didn't get the report done timely, but better late than never. Hopefully the end result is...

oh boy, thread from 2009

Ok, welcome back then:

Thanks trilobyte, I'll admit that I wasn't quite sure which board to pick for this post.
Your help is appreciated.

Elliot: thank you sir for the kind words.

@burner van braun:
cool that we had a quick chat, or even cooler that you somehow remembered me from previous reports I've done. It's a big playa
Glad you liked the shirt and the display.
Cheers, Marc

You're welcome. Destiny Lounge 3D was awesome. I have a few more pictures in the "Camps" folder if you'd like.

For solar, you are comparing the wrong numbers
581Wh produced vs 1184Wh used.
You were looking at instant use vs instant production.

I won't give you excuses why I'm so late this year. It still took close to a week of work, and just wasn't able to get it all done until a couple of weeks ago. 4000+ pictures to fix/sort/categorize just takes forever... Anyway, here is the end result: http://marc.merlins.org/perso/bm/2018/ Feel free...

I added a few burning man pictures at the bottom of http://marc.merlins.org/perso/arduino/post_2018-07-30_Building-a-64x64-Neopixel-Neomatrix-_4096-pixels_-running-NeoMatrix-FastLED-IR.html Otherwise, also posted my usual full burning man report (very late, but it's big) http://marc.merlins.org/pers...

COOL - I'm glad it worked. I did make the animated gif myself, from the original 'official' static svg on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burning_Man#/media/File:Burning-Man.svg If I find time today, I'll see about a version of the 'arms down', rising/green, and up/on fire version from you...

Yeah, big sound camps will not be far, you may just be right about "just a small little change in light intensity"

Tell him to come see it, it will be set in place and won't be moving.
It'll be by dustfish , 9:30 and esplanade if it arrives there in one piece

Marc

thank you sir.

Ok, youtube is failing at letting me remove the part of the music that causes them to block the video. Sigh...

Here is a new version:

I spent all of yesterday and today on my animated gifs matrix and IR
code, and found a nice set of 27 gifs:


If you happen to have your own you'd like to share and for me to
display, send them over.
They must be 64x64 pixels and ideally below 100KB.

Thanks, Marc

Cool, thanks Luap.

And a bit of eye candy for everyone:

@trilobyte, thank you for finding the right group for me, I kind of struggled with this. @luap a huge thanks again, and to show you it wasn't wasted effort :) It is just about 1 meter high and if all goes well, will be displayed along other demos at dustfish 09:30 & Esplanade http://marc.merlins.org...

Luap, thanks a lot for this one. May I ask, did you make it yourself, or you found it somewhere? I'll definitely make use of this one. To answer your question, my panel is 24bit color, so colors are not a problem, but I can also use B&W. I'm also trying to find one that has the arms go down, then mi...

I'll have a couple of display panels (one on my shirt and a bigger one: 1m x 1m). The smaller one can display 24x32 pixels while the bigger one can display 64x64 pixels. Looks like this: http://marc.merlins.org/perso/arduino/post_2018-05-29_EDM-Party-Shirt-powered-with-FastLED_NeoMatrix-and-Adafruit...

thank you all for the kind words. Yeah, night pictures, there are 2 ways to do them 1) take 10-100x as many and throw away all the bad ones 2) take 1-10x as many, do the same, but with a better camera that does low light (I have an RX100M5 with 1 inch sensor, some people have even more crazy/expensi...

haha, funny to see this post being propped back up so many months later, probably as people are thinking about the next burning man

As usual, and after too many days of work, my 9th yearly mega report is finally up: http://marc.merlins.org/perso/bm/2016/ as a followup to my previous reports ( http://marc.merlins.org/perso/bm/ ) For aerial shots: http://marc.merlins.org/perso/flying/post_2016-08-29_Flight-to-Burning-Man-and-Back....
