Burning Blog » Blog Archive » What does living Burning Man 365/24/7 look like?

Burning Blog » Blog Archive » What does living Burning Man 365/24/7 look like?: "I don’t really think it’s possible to live a Burning Man lifestyle 24/7. You have to consider that at its heart, this is a narcissistic group of people. I know that’s harsh to say, but you can’t function in that type of community all year. It will make a sane person crazy because the group dynamic is based on attention and hierarchy. The backstabbing that goes on in an environment like this is intolerable to a normal, healthy human mind."

Messier 55 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Messier 55 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Messier 55 (also known as M55 or NGC 6809) is a globular cluster in the constellation Sagittarius. It was discovered by Nicolas Louis de Lacaille in June 16, 1752 while observing from South Africa.[7] Starting in 1754, Charles Messier made several attempts to find this object from Paris, France, but the low declination meant it never rose sufficiently far above the horizon to allow for easy observation. He finally observed and catalogued it in 1778. The cluster can be seen with a pair of 50 mm binoculars, although resolving the individual stars requires a medium-sized telescope.[7]"

Reading local files in JavaScript - HTML5 Rocks

Reading local files in JavaScript - HTML5 Rocks: "HTML5 finally provides a standard way to interact with local files, via the File API specification. As example of its capabilities, the File API could be used to create a thumbnail preview of images as they're being sent to the server, or allow an app to save a file reference while the user is offline. Additionally, you could use client-side logic to verify an upload's mimetype matches its file extension or restrict the size of an upload."
