the daily dub

Just finished the oscillator circuit on my little project: here’s a preview of the board (totally incomplete).

Wow! That’s the only word I can use to describe this year’s Art on Fire exhibition at the Park Formerly Known as Candlestick. (Photo: a vortex of flames that reached 3 stories in height)

I met my buddy Neil at the Park with our tickets. Once there, my jaw dropped at just about everything I saw (especially Vau de Vire Society, holy damn, I’d do naughty, naughty things to those girls…). There we some quite amazing pieces of artwork. I just hope each and every one of them makes it out to the Playa this year.

Meanwhile, enjoy the photos!

Sequenced, Explosive Balls of Fire

A Turbine Engine with one Helluva After Burner (this shit was *loud*)

Firey Silhouettes

One Loud, Firey Sculpture (think jet engine that shoots flames and sparks), next to a Tesla Coil that happened to light the fuel in the jet’s afterburner every one in a while. Amazing Piece!

What could be better than an Art show in the city, featuring grant-sponsored artists from around the globe? How about grant-sponsored art that just happens to be on fire?

I’ll be up in SF tonight at <insert phone and/or tech company here> Park (formerly Candlestick Park), (hopefully) shooting photos of the Black Rock Arts Foundation’s 2006 Fire Arts Festival (aka “Art on Fire”).

Stay tuned for photos.

Notice, when you click “map of site visitors,” that a blip shows up in Alaska.

I’ll be heading up that way soon, visiting Jake’s parents on my way to 8 days of hiking in Alaska. Should be truck loads of fun! Now that I got the green light to crash on their couch for a couple days on my way up (thanks Jake), I’m formalizing my plans. The trips not till July 1 (I’ll be leaving here late June), so I’ve got some time to get gear together and all that jazz. I can’t wait!

working from home, today.
