Two interesting articles that are related to Burning Man:

This one is a Yahoo article about fire spinning being a great workout. What I find really funny is that they have taken something which to me is an inherently interesting art/dance form, and focused almost solely on the workout aspect of it (plus the "dangers") in order to make it interesting to the mainstream audience. Never mind everything else about fire spinning! The fact that it is beautiful to watch, the complexity of the moves, its role in so many cultures and subcultures...no, you should pay attention to it because it can help you lose weight!

This article was sent by my dad, check it out especially if you live in SF or like to have beach bonfires. This is great news, and I can't wait to see the completed thing!
