I don’t have Darth Maul 3D glasses either, but my iPhone has become my tool of choice for Tweets, FB, email, checking the weather and phoning the world. What apps do you suggest? Please note that I do not need to command an army of virtual dragons.

Great article. I wish safari had this sync function on open windows. Do you know any good programs that sync bookmarks between firefox, chrome, safari. Sometimes I switch between all three.

Thanks for this added information, Jim! We definitely appreciated your art, as well as your decision to create an interpretive, rather than an “in your face”, experience. Playa time sure flew this year!

In creating the 1MileClock we decided in the end to make all three hands of the clock using only green lasers instead of red/blue/green as originally intended. We felt that the Clock should be “interpreted” and not IN YOUR FACE and “easy” to figure out. This way, participants that adhered to the “playa time” concept, did not have to have REAL time ticking past them every 60 seconds…
I do hope you enjoyed our art! – Jim Bowers – Artist – 1MileClock Project.

The Octa team has returned! We DID have intermittent iPhone service, and I saw many people taking photos with their iPhones. I did not see any iPads, save in the RV on the drive out and back, in the hands of Octa team members themselves. The clock, while it shot giant lasers across the sky, did not provide a reliable means for time-tracking. However, many people commented that it was the most “on schedule” burn they had ever attended. Perhaps that is due to the lack of dust storms…
