The Flat Smiley Project is collaborative new media project and community building activity for Burning Man 2009 using Web 2.0 and social media tools. It's an invitation for burners to send photos and videos of Flat Smiley's adventures in Black Rock City as well as other regional burner events. Think of it like sending a digital postcard from the playa for many burners who are not able to attend the

A video by Hedy.

This episode was first released over two years ago on July 11, 2007 so the topics on the BURNcast Community Bulletin Board segment are somewhat dated. The reason I thought it should make it to the Greatest Hits week (or maybe better to say make it in "repeats") is that it features an interview Louise Johnson who (along with her husband Phil Stripling) runs the Civilized Explorer, a website for Burners

Happy tutu Tuesday! DaBomb here. Let's start by saying "community" and share a round of drinks (alcoholic or otherwise).

We're not going to be covering local regional events at this time

Their tweets (follow @KIONRightNow on Twitter) has been enormously useful in tracking latest updates.This video clip focuses on Elias' father Nick Sorokin. Elias has been missing since July 20 and the police department are now considering

It's totally worth waiting the first couple seconds of bad audio to see what happens in this clip!From LiquidSoloman: "Although you can't hear me because of the wind, my only comment is riding around the desert visiting everything from a playground to 'fire flowers'.
