Words are not enough to describe it all.
The photos are not able to capture the energy.
The videos show fragments of the experience.
The few basic rules – have fun, share, don’t litter, let yourself go, and explore!
It is an adult’s playground.
Spontaneous organization.
All tribes, all kinds, all costumes, all ideals – one community.
Survival conditions brings everyone to a common denominator.
The benevolence is fantastic.
Negative energy is left behind.
You can make what you want of it.
If you want to wake up early, do Yoga, get a massage, bike in the middle of the desert, talk to complete strangers, participate in events, party all night and the next day, and then look at some impressive art work, installations, mutant vehicles and so gigantic sculptures – you can.
All in a days at Burning Man.

Saturday Bike Ride
One of the clearest days this summer and not too hot. You could see NYC from the top of Bear Mt! Great day for riding. Took my camera for the first time to take some pictures. I did some off-road and Marcos did some “high” speed loops. Here are the results:
WiFi Install for Union Square Park
This past Thursday I went with my friend Marco Lara (technolosophy.com) who runs the WiFi networks on most of NYC Parks (wifisalon.com) to the roof of the Whole Foods at Union Square to install some new antennas for better WiFi coverage inside the park.
The antennas are so powerful that now you can get a signal all the way down to 3rd Ave and 14th St!

Apple WWDC 2008
Last week I went to San Francisco to attend Apple’s World Wide Developer’s Conference – mainly to find out more about the iPhone and get some answers to some questions I had about the programming on it.
Amazing conference – over 5000 people and 1000 Apple Engineers to actually look at your code and help you out! Unique opportunity.
I’m not even going to post an update on the novelties about the new 3G iPhone simply because there are thousands of news articles about it already. In any case here’s a short list of what I thought was most relevant to me:
– 3G meaning faster internet connection on the cellular networks
– GPS for more accurate geo-coding
– Application notifications – the ability to push notifications to your application on the iPhone even if it is not running.
On Thursday Moran and I took a break from the conference and went to see the Golden Gate. Here are some photos:
