Comments: Mapping Burning Man

Hi Nym,

Would VERY much like to ge the map for 2005 like the screen shot of the Playa Info team. (I see it's available for 2004).
I totally understand that things change, but it would be nice to get a map with that level of detail.
But, heck, this is the first year I've been able to get the gate map online before the event.

Thanks,
Bertrum

Unfortunately, the data that PlayaInfo recieves is currently not available to the public, but we're making progress in this area. If you want to help, go join http://tribes.tribe.net/playamaps and post
something along the lines of what you wrote me. Explain what you would like to do with the data.

If there are enough people who want to do interesting things with the data, it will help get it out into the open for everyone to benefit
from!

Hi there,

I'm interested in your Google Map Hacks book - when is it coming out?

Any wardrivers going? While I can't be there in person, I will certainly be watching from above.

No idea when the book will come out, and I'm still unclear if anyone is wardriving. I hope someone will! That would make some great mapping data for the city, and encourage others to utilize the network next year for radical self-expression.

hi, i'm matt a long time admirer. i've benefited a lot from your blog. This article came up very randomly tonight. I love what gps, good maps, and garmin rinoes have done for burning the man.

i'm interested in what you've done with wearable electronics and cyberhumans.

Thanks Matt. I'm personally interested in the original, humanistic, homeostatic definition of Cyborg. Accordingly, wearable, or even implanted electronics don't make a human a Cyborg unless they augment the unconscious processes of life.
