A rug can provide a haven, from the playa, for your feet; reduce dust (ha!) in your shade shelter; and introduce visual interest in your camp. However, a rug can also be hard to transport; a magnet for dust; and nearly impossible to manage when wet, muddy, and heavy.

On my “someday” list, I had this entry, “Upload photos to Flickr.com account.” I had created the account a year ago, but hadn’t used it.
My comet McNaught pictures inspired me to give it a try. It was easy. Real easy. I installed a helper program that I got from the flickr site, uploaded […]

After posting my first Burning Man tip, Erik suggested the topic of using “two tents: one for sleeping, and one for your dusty, playafied gear”.
Excellent idea. I’ve been doing it for awhile, though I can’t remember when I started, or how I heard of it. If you have a small sleeping tent, trying […]

There are 34 weeks until Burning Man 2007. Every week I’ll post a new idea, tip, or suggestion. Some of these will be things I’ve learned the hard way, other ideas are clever solutions my friends have developed.
Week 01 idea: Because hydration is so important at Burning Man, and it gets pretty dark at night […]
I have a few articles in the works and a number of ideas for future articles: using a slide and photo scanning service; the second parts of the time-lapse video and EL wire butterfly prop articles; Burning Man tips; some sculpture and bookbinding projects; and a GPS datalogging idea that I’ve been think about.
I also […]
Back in the IBM-PC days, I kept all my computer detritus in a small box. I would have to sort through it to find what I needed. It was always a struggle ― is that the information for the multi-IO card that died last month (which I should have thrown out), or the one that’s […]
