I just met legendary comic creator Stan Lee! Look! He even took time to pose for a picture.

I found an old dot matrix printout from the local bbs of my youth.  With their easy to remember phone number my 2400 baud modem transformed my computer into a portal to community resources to, amuse, educate,  and entertain.  it was where i received my first electronic mail.  (a pain because they only had one phone line and it could take hours to get connected)  i wish i had more printouts from then.  I would love to see the main menu again.  it might be cool to setup a mud like one of the old BBSes, or maybe a website.  maybe just a retro setup for wordpress.

Why would BMO—the organizer of an “an annual experiment in temporary community dedicated to radical self-expression and radical self-reliance”—undermine speech and creativity like this?BMO claims that the terms in the Burning Man ticket agreement are necessary to protect Black Rock City’s unique culture and the privacy of its participants. Furthermore, BMO points out that the limitations are rarely enforced and they only claim copyright if the photos are used in a way BMO doesn’t authorize. By claiming copyright in all photographs taken at the event, BMO can use the streamlined “notice and takedown” process enshrined in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) to quickly remove unapproved photos from the Internet.

Amazing illuminated artwork. I felt like I was tripping just standing there. I tried to do them justice with my phone.

We arrived in Mexico City in the evening.  After bringing our stuff the four flights to Eric’s apartment we headed out to a bar.  It was actually an art explosion.  We paid one cover for bars and clubs all over town.  We met some really nice folks.  I met some journalists from the US and Canada.  After a few hours, we’d move on to another place.  Some of the clubs had live bands and all of them were packed full of people.  Some of the exhibits were truly inspired while others seemed to be drug induced.  One of my favorites had a cleverly edited loop of a standoff between two gunslingers projected on the wall of the sub-basement.  It had been edited in such a way to lengthen the loop.  Cutting between long shots and close-ups without letting the intensity let up for even a moment.  We ended the night with some tacos and then sleep.
