At Burning Man 2007 someone torched the namesake effigy five days early. During a lunar eclipse, the man was aflame. The structure was badly damaged, but in the following days they were able to replace it.
The arsonist was later identified as performance artist Paul Addis. Current TV had an exlusive interview with this Early Burner Man.

Joshua Current Comedy Heller, (that's me) well be out of the office for the next week, to engage in some "radical self-reliance" on The Playa at Black Rock City. I think it shall be a blast.
If you can't be there with me, you should watch all this great footage from when Current hung out there the past couple of years.
These are some really good pods to check out from TV Free Burning Man:
Altered State
Pyramid Scheme
Burning Man takes flight
Big Rig Jig
Ride in my skull

There's a lot going on out there in the world of Current.com, so let's take a quick look at some of the recent blog posts from our online producer team:
Current Movies
Over on the Current Movies blog, John Lichman offers up news that Nic Cage has decided to bow out of Green Hornet, and takes a look at the new teaser trailer from Up in the Air. Here's a snippet:
Nicholas Cage leaves The Green Hornet because clearly he's a serious actor. And his soul is still dancing. [Heat Vision]
The teaser for Up in the Air is perfectly fine and the best thing you'll watch today. So, there. [/film]
Check out the full post and watch the Up in the Air trailer over on the current_movies blog.
Current Music
Have you ever wanted to make a music video? Who knows, you could be the next David Fincher, or Spike Jonze, right? Well, here's your chance. Current Music has teamed up with Common, and he's basically letting the Current.com community make the video for his song, "Make my day."
So, you wanna make a music video? Head over to the current_music blog, Shana has all of the details.
Current Green
Leah Lamb offered up a guest blog post from our Sustainable Agriculture group leader, JanForGore. She gives us the details on Biopiracy in the age of climate change and food shortages. Here's a snip:
Biopiracy is the patenting of indigenous bio-diversity related knowledge. For purposes of this writing, the patenting of natural traits found in plants, which is now described as epidemic. While the rewarding of patents should be based on inventiveness and original creativity, it has become a license for corporations to steal such indigenous traits endemic to nature already naturally cultivated by indigenous farmers for centuries. This is done to make fast cash and to take advantage of the climate crisis and food shortages which ironically are also exacerbated through monoculture industrial methods of what I like to call ‘strip farming.’ Such methods have stripped soil nutrients and carbon essential for sustainability of the land and our climate balance.
Check out the full post on the current_green blog.
Current Comedy
Last but not least, current_comedy blog maestro, Josh Heller, went to Burning Man last week and it changed his life (as anyone reading his pseudo-tweets from Black Rock City could tell). The playa spoke, and Josh listened. Now he returns to us a new man, with a new avatar. Take a look.There's a lot going on out there in the world of Current.com, so let's take... more

The Hexayurt is a prize-winning shelter you can build yourself for about $200. Suitable raw materials include common building materials (insulation boards), hexacomb cardboard and plastic.
Different materials are appropriate for different uses - insulation, extended life, low cost, durability in extreme environments and so on. You cut six 4' x 8' panels in half diagonally to make the roof, and use six more whole panels to form the walls. It takes about two hours. The design is in the public domain, and is in active development as a Free/Open Source style project.

I live in Portland, Oregon. Many of my friends have been working all year on one of this city's biggest art projects on the playa (2nd to Basura Sagrada, a.k.a. The Temple) by our dear friend Tuk Tuk.
I would love to see a pod on them, as I'm sadly not at Burning Man this year.
They're located at 3:00 & Esplanade.
