Burning Man at 25 years

The 25th Burning Man festival, with a theme of “Rites of Passage,” took place Aug. 29 to Sept. 5, 2011, 120 miles outside Reno, Nev., in the Black Rock Desert, its home since 1990. Some 50,000 people attended the week-long celebration, which is billed as “an annual experiment in temporary community dedicated to radical self-expression and radical self-reliance.” The event, which is more a temporary city than a traditional festival, arose from a bonfire held on the Summer Solstice at Baker Beach in San Francisco in which a wooden man a dog were burned in a spontaneous act of self-expression by local artists and their friends. — Lloyd Young (29 photos total)

What Do You Know About Panama’s Famous/Infamous Red Devils? – Vid of the Week by Ryan Grassley

Tuesday June 7, 2011
Editor

The Red Devils, just who/what are they anyway?

Nope, they are not the national soccer or baseball team. And they are not a cheerleader or glee squad.

Affectionately called “Diablo Rojos”, they’re Panama’s Bad Boy, smoke-belching, people moving, bumper car, get-outta-my-way, pimped up retired USA school buses.

And they will soon be going the way of the T Rex.

Get the full back story from Video Guy Ryan Grassley:

The City Limits by Dominic Boudreault

It’s been too long since I posted a video – and that’s about to change!

The current roll-out of “video capable”, relatively inexpensive, digital cameras have inspired a new genre of badass, nascent videographers. And Dominic is just one of them.

Sit back, give the video time to load and prepare to immerse your senses in this stunning video production. If you have a really high speed connection, watch this sick video in High Definition and crank up the volume!

On March 19th, a full Moon of rare size and beauty arose in the eastern sky at sunset.

What is a Supermoon?

According to Wikipedia;

The name SuperMoon was coined by astrologer Richard Nolle in 1979, defined as:

…a new or full moon which occurs with the Moon at or near (within 90% of) its closest approach to Earth in a given orbit (perigee). In short, Earth, Moon and Sun are all in a line, with Moon in its nearest approach to Earth.[4]

(The phrasing “within 90% of its closest approach” is unclear, but an example on Nolle’s website shows that he means that the Earth–Moon distance is in the lowest tenth of its range.)

The term supermoon is not widely accepted or used within the astronomy or scientific community, who prefer the term perigee-syzygy.[5] Perigee is the point at which the Moon is closest in its orbit to the Earth, and syzygy is a full or new moon, when the Earth, the Moon and the Sun are aligned. Hence, supermoon can be regarded as a combination of the two, although they do not perfectly coincide each time. Syzygy may occur within a maximum of 12 hours from perigee during a supermoon, and 1 hour from perigee during an extreme supermoon. [4]

The size and brightness of an object follows an inverse-square law, which means that a full moon at perigee is 12% larger and brighter than an average full moon. However, because the offset of the moon’s orbit versus its phases is only two days, this change in appearance is gradual from month to month and therefore is not usually noticeable to a casual observer.
