The April Fool's
Web Sites started out innocent enough in 2005 with
SPOTS
(Superior Portable Outdoor Tinkle Stations) - After getting
a mention @ the
Burning Man Town Hall of that year I figured this could
be a great creative outlet for me in Humor - Web Design & of
course with Photoshop. In 2006 I premiered BRCellular and
had an unmanned booth setup at the
2006 Burning Man Town Hall. |

In 2009 I submitted
Gerlach/Empire Nevada get assistance in Securing Economic
Stimulus Money which was included on the Front Page of
the Burning Man Web Site. |

Burning Man
to offer Gated Communities in 2010
We have listened to your feedback; we have heard your
concerns about unwanted folks wandering into your camp,
cutting thru to get to the next street and the security of
your valued possessions. Burning Man’s Metropolis 2010
layout will include Gated Communities, strictly controlling
ingress and egress for pedestrians, bicycles, and mutant
vehicles to ensure that your camp, your Playa Gear remain
safe & secure.
To enter a gated community a person must be a registered
resident with photo ID or the person must have a friend in
the gated community who gives specific permission to the
security guards at the gate to that effect. Art grants are
available for design submissions for the three main
entrances into the Gated Community, Berlin, Moscow & Tokyo;
Deadline is 04/01/10.
Nevada’s Happy Cows Return Gift to Burning Man
For years Northern Nevada’s dairy industry has benefitted
from the annual Burning Man Festival with donations of tons
of food scraps left behind by those that camp in the Black
Rock Desert. Now it is time for them to return the gift. The
Cow Union and Dairy Farmers have finished an agreement that
will provide Fresh Milk (Whole & 2%) to the Center Camp Café
and will be setting up a daily Playa-wide delivery schedule.
Gone are the days of powdered creamer!!
Sign up today and have Fresh Milk with your coffee, a
win-win for both Nevada’s Happy Cows and all who enter the
gates of Black Rock City. |

So here we are
Ten (10) Years later with 43 Web
Sites +1 - I
have personally come a long way with my view of what is
Funny; What can and should be poked fun at - I have also
come a long way with my Photoshop Skills. I am unsure
what the future will bring as I might be running out of
ideas for new web sites ala 04/01 - The other issue is the
COST of the continual upkeep of the Domain Names as there
are Seventeen (17) up for renewal @
~$10/Domain/Year. |
