Another Digital Spectacle Unfolds: No, Not Today's Apple Event–It's Burning Man 2010!

BoomTown has never set foot in the dusty dustfest in the desert that is Burning Man, due to the lack of a Four Seasons in the vicinity. Thank goodness, then, for the live stream of the annual event this week, direct from Black Rock City, which you can see after the jump and also on Burning Man’s Web site.

BoomTown Is Back (Just as Everyone Leaves for Burning Man)

From vacation, that is–an activity that I highly recommend (and getting toasted at Burning Man this week does not count, although that is also apparently highly recommended in order to endure that digital dustfest). In any case, we begin Yahoo memo-bombing in five minutes. That is all.

Tuesday Morning Quarterback: The New Internet Season

in News on September 4, 2007 at 2:51 am PT

Summer is officially over, kids, so back to school. And no more Burning Man either (we completely ignored the annual techie Valhalla in his blog, because it evoked a very dusty and peyote feeling that we just have never felt the need to learn about close up and personal)! In other words, time to get serious about the business at hand! Namely, cranking the volume up to 11 on our ongoing efforts to figure out a few choice things about several different Internet companies.
