Bringing your bike to the playa? Here are six quick bike ideas in comic book form.
More details after the jump…
This week’s tip is simply a supplies list. I started with my 2004 supplies list and updated it. I crossed-out items that I don’t bring anymore, but left them on the list in case someone else would find them helpful.
I’ll update the list with recommendations, then I’ll convert it into a checklist that you […]
I hate the combination of sunscreen and playa dust. I feel so much better if I can remove a little bit of that crust. Weather permitting, I like to get cleaned up before dinner. Then I feel rejuvenated and ready for the evening.
Back in the “olden” days, we didn’t worry about getting greywater on […]
A few years ago, I remember reading something described as being “cooler than the other side of the pillow”. It took me a little bit to figure it out, but it’s an apt metaphor for Tumblr tumblelogs.

The challenge was opening the Mini. My partner liked […]
I need to put a hold on the Burning Man tips and regular blog posts until late March. I just don’t have the bandwidth. I need to take care of some household and family concerns. Sorry.
I have a list of over thirty tips to write about and I’ve asked some friends to guest […]
Burning Man is my canvas, my workbench, and my inspiration. It gives me the opportunity and reason, to explore new ideas and try new things. It exposes me to creative people who infect me with enthusiasm for their art and ideas.
