argh, grr, grumble, etc

Haven't had a chance to post all week due to work. I'm writing this as I wait for some spreadsheets to calculate. I'd wanted to talk about the great installment of the Artifact reading series that I attended this weekend, about struggling to prepare for Burning Man, and about Karlo's comments to the second-to-previous post, but it's just not going to happen tonight.

And I'm not sure whether or not I'll have a chance to write much between now and when I get back (and recover) from Burning Man. Preparation is a ton of work -- and Gerardo and I aren't even building anything out there. We'll drive up Wednesday night and will return sometime on Monday evening. This should be a great year for the art -- the BM organization ("BORG") upped their funding of playa art grants to $400k, and an independent, splinter group ("BORG2") has raised about $20-$25k with the intention of funding projects that will rival (whatever that means -- jaw-dropping factor is quite subjective) the BORG-funded art. This year I'm going with a digital camera, so hopefully I'll manage to press the buttons in the right order at the right time to come back with something worth looking at.
