Looking to collaborate on large computer controlled fire art project

I just posted the following to Craigslist. I suppose as problems go, this is a good one to have.

Looking to collaborate on large computer controlled fire art project

I’m working on a large, funded project for Burning Man. It is going to involve over 30 flame poofers, 100 full color LEDs, and hydraulic animatronics. There are several folks working on getting it all under computer control. I’m working on building the brain, a program that converts user input into a fantastic interactive fire and light art on the playa! I’ve started working with a programming environment called Pure Data. It’s been going well enough but I’d rather work and discover with a friend. Interested? Give me a buzz. There’s no pay, but it’s going to be a blast!

I am in awe of Mr Woo. Watch the whole video and it will gradually dawn on you why.

Places to go in England

Charlotte and I were thinking of going to England on a trip. Instead she’s moving to San Francisco. I was starting to make a to-go list for our trip. Instead of archiving it on my computer, I’ll archive it on my web host… IE: you get to see it

Amazing airplane

from Trav:

Subject: you must watch this
Video (or)

local version:

I’m actually saddened by this. It’s like realizing that you are currently seeing the best sunset you’ve ever seen in your life and that no other sunset could ever be as spectacular. From that moment on, there is no need or want to ever witness another sunset.

Video from East Bay Rats Fight Night


On April 8th I went to Nimby for the East Bay Rats Fight Party. It was intense.

Here is a video with footage from last year’s night promoting this one. I’ve got some pretty wild videos from my camera but the production isn’t nearly as good as this.

Yes. This is really what it was like.

Every day…
But one day…
Because of that…

I want a cookie

After Adam Corola on 106.9 Free FM this morning at 10am there was a female talk show host. I’m almost positive that it’s the woman who wants a cookie in the Evolution Control Committee’s song!

It took me 10 minutes of listening before I could recall where I knew her voice from.

Geo at the Box Shop

Last night at the Box Shop, I saw a blue shirt that made me think a bit. It read “Permabit” across the left breast. I thought, “That’s nice. I’ve heard of that company. They don’t exist anymore, do they? Now why exactly do I know that company? Hmm. I don’t know. Oh well, I’ll get back to helping to take photos…”

About an hour later, a guy in a blue shirt looked at me and said, “HEY! Lee! How are you?!”

[blank stare] “How do I know you?”

“It’s Geo!”

We talked for a while. Yes, he’s gotten the all the occational emails and phone messages I’ve sent over the last year. He’s just been too busy to get back to me. He looks TOTALLY different. Crazy chin scruff, weirdly sticking-up hair (he said he had been windboarding or something all day), and uber-cool shades.


The photo session went great. I’ll show you my pix shortly.
