Flutterby™! : Back from Burning Man

Whew. Back from Burning Man, some longer rants on the topic will be coming, I suppose this means I have to get the rant system back up and working so that Todd can post his experiences too. Overall a good experience. I know I said this last year, but next year I want to leave on Saturday, my excuse this year is that we had a newbie (Dylan), but he's pretty social and found his own way home anyway... The art was a mixed success, those who saw the sculpture and played with it said "Wow, totally way cool", but it was destroyed in an early storm. The shade structure I built for it stayed up and was appreciated when I went to check on it and saw people out there. The project I'm proudest of was mapping, in the next few days I hope to type in and clean up the data so that the clean-up crew has something to work from. And the "Flutterbike" quadricycle finally broke, but it gave me two good Burning Man trips and a lot of engineering experience. Thanks, Larry and later Todd for keeping y'all entertained during my absence.
