I have a 2 person Hexayurt in storage in Sparks (just east of Reno). I'm going in on Thursday of build week but my ride can't take the Yurt in or out. If someone has room and is going in during build week then my tiny Yurt and I would be oh so happy! It's 4x8x1.5 feet and is very quiet on road trips...

Thanks! This radio badge that maladroit linked to is interesting. GPS will require digital communication to send coordinates so I'm digging into that. It does seem GPS will be best though.

I'm designing a project that lets people find each other through range (ie. "you're getting hotter"). Technically, I would need Arduino-like controllers to talk to each other and identify approximately how far away several other controllers are. Each controller could approximate the order of the dis...

You can use a big ass mirror to take the selfie!

Our smartphones are the modern day mirrors. We see ourselves through Selfies, and re-take photos until we have a version of our self that we want to upload to the world. Here's an idea to build a gigantic smart phone where participants can pose inside the screen. Jungle-gym style bars run up and dow...

I had my sights set on this furry panda hoodie... but alas I waited too long. It ships from China too slowly to arrive for the burn. Does anyone know of another retailer who sells furry panda (or similar animals... but let's be honest you all want Panda hugs) costumes? Help me Burners, you're my onl...

Dayburn, both the soundcloud links that you posted aren't working.

Hope to see you there!

Me me! I like anything that's delicious and can be pre-made

I will be building a 2-person hexayurt for this year. My original plan is to cut and build it in Washington DC and then ship it with a local burner group to and from Nevada - which is expensive to transport there and back. This Yurt will only ever be used in Nevada so I am re-considering whether it ...

Come play!

Nice! Though your word cloud's already out of date :) (the calendar will stay open and continue to get submissions through the start of the event). For posterity's sake, what are your data snapshot dates? I generated it on Sunday. I can update it often however because I use the API. Here is the cod...

the subtitle of every event!

I created a word cloud to visualize the event descriptions for the 2014 Burn. It uses the API to get the event descriptions, then I feed those words into a magic machine and out comes.... this!
