See you at Burning Man!

I'm about to switch off my email until September 5 and drive to Black Rock City for 10 days of incinerating the dude.

If you're going this year, drop by Liminal Labs — with whom I am immensely privileged to camp — and have some cold brew and say hi! We're at 5&F this year (look for the giant steel gate, the flaming chandelier, and the flying car).

I'm also giving my annual talk at Palenque Norte/Soft Landing which is at 8:00 & Botticelli this year. It's called "When the better web we're making crashes, how will we soften the landing?" and it's at 5PM on Friday, Sept 2.

I'll see you on the playa!
