The Futures are at Burning Man

Hi Folks, we are heading out to the playa and plan on sending you regular updates, bandwidth permitting. To get you in the mood for this radically fun event, we have prepared a couple of video channels of our favorite Burning Man experiences to share.  

Our Dr. Future’s Burning Man Picks  YouTube Channel features our Tales from the Playa series, my favorite being Shimmering Wolf’s investigation of a playa survival purse, found on the playa.  Catching synchronicities on camera is another favorite of ours, and some of our best examples of this are on Dr. Future’s Amazing Burning Man Flicks on Vimeo.  “TheYear the Man Burned Twice” is a favorite here, where the Man was lit on a Monday night during a total lunar eclipse by a rogue agent…though the Double Rainbow vid exhibits quite magical timing as well. 

You can tune in live to Black Rock City and the Man right now, thanks to John Graham and the webcast team currently in the desert.  Check out the live feed, with Burning Man Radio right here..

 And oh yes, there have been some very interesting developments in the world of late.  Please check out our links page for more evolutionary info.  We’ll most likely be discussing some of these stories upon our return from the desert.

It’s nice to see Curiousity starting to do some serious work on the Martian landscape.  The onboard laser is quite powerful and very useful for analyzing rocks and such..Meanwhile, back on Earth, Big Data gets bigger with some major new tools from Google, and Drones get smaller, more capable, and in some cases, more lethal..

It’s Playa Time soon, so we interviewed some major Burners to help you not just survive but thrive out on the Black Rock Desert, tips on food, tech, clothes, and sex on the playa!

Dr. Future News 8.12.12

Boy, what a week!  From Curiousity landing on Mars to the future of brick and mortar stores to new food options on the menu..Plus we are doing more remote broadcasting, now extensively using our home studio as we expand our horizons to new listeners online as well as on the airwaves.  

We particulary enjoyed doing the Future of Food report, as there are options there that, though initially somewhat revolting, can be quite inviting…hmmm….’tastes like chicken!’   

Let us know what you think!

Also of interest this week is the Shady Shakespeare’s performance of Pericles, a brilliantly original, funny, yet gripping performance of the master’s classic play.  Check it out by all means and though we were not allowed to film the play itself, we do have a video preview of the preshow, the Shady Shakespeare cast doing the Time Warp!   

Shady Shakespeare Company does the Time Warp!

We have also just finished at edit of a performance at Heart Kiss 2012 of the Durian Sex Cult, a new dance troupe in Santa Cruz.  In the following piece, 

 “The supreme Shiva is seduced by the divine Shakti with a little help from the magical powers of  the Durian fruit..”
