Behold it’s Ferro-Magnificent Splendor!

Rock

For those who weren’t at today’s meeting. I’m still pining for this giant 550lb monster lodestone to set up as a “Temple of Magnetism” at burning man. Probably will never happen because of the cost, but still, wouldn’t it be cool???

For sale here: http://www.buylodestones.com/biglodestone.htm for a mere $1500 and I don’t even want to think about the shipping costs!

‘Second Life’ readies for Burning Man

News Flash: ‘Second Life’ readies for Burning Man

I’ve never done the Second Life thing but I’d imagine i’d be a pretty lame substitute for actually Burn attendance (correct me if any of you do partake and I’m wrong).

What would be fascinating would be a serviceable and fairly accurate recreation of the actual event where you could zoom around, see some of the major installations, and observe the camps of friends who did make it to the event and are having a lot more fun than you and your pathetic internet-bound existence.

Okay, so that last part might suck.

But still, I’d give it a gander. Maybe Google Earth is planning a street-level run thru?

The blog is up and running

Newly decorated, with many pages and content already. The “What to Expect” and “Resources” areas have the most content so far…
