Been doing a good bit of spinning lately and found some new moves. Same time BTB weaves, round the world buzzsaws, round the world buzzsaw hyperloops, some odd BTB TTN stuff and 5 and 7 beat thru wrap fountains. They all need some serious work before I bring them to the burn. Ah well, back to the porn.]]> Sun, 22 Jan 2006 02:32:00 EST http://www.pyromantic.com/archives/January2006.html#ablog5
After hours of page refreshing, I finally got my order in for two tickets to the big burn. Hope to see you out there.]]> Thu, 19 Jan 2006 00:06:30 EST http://www.pyromantic.com/archives/January2006.html#ablog4
And now for something completely different!

I need to burn something... ]]> Sun, 15 Jan 2006 23:29:45 EST http://www.pyromantic.com/archives/January2006.html#ablog0 old UBB look is out. It died with the dot coms so I'm moving towards a modern look. Bear with me, I'm a software developer, not a web designer.

Getting this page to mostly work in IE was a major headache. I hope IE 7 isn't another dog poop of a browser and fixes all their flaky CSS interpretations. Hell, I could have written a better browser in the time it's taking them to get 7 out the door.]]> Sat, 14 Jan 2006 16:53:01 EST http://www.pyromantic.com/archives/January2006.html#ablog3 Mostly due to Microsofts piss poor implementation. Try a real browser:

I you use CSS for HTML layouts, you are a MORON... like me. Hopefully my l33t h4x0r C$$ won't break too many of your browsers out there. If it does, feel free to ask me how much I care. The page actually validated under XHTML 1.0 so how bad could it be.

Enough of the geekery, on with the war. ]]> Tue, 10 Jan 2006 22:37:24 EST http://www.pyromantic.com/archives/January2006.html#ablog2 Burning Man tickes go on sale Wednesday January 18, 12 noon PST. The first 7000 tickes go for $185 and usually sell out in the first day or so. I know I'll be grabbing a couple.

No idea where I'm camping this year. I might try to hook up with Temple of Poi or do the nomadic Black Kilt Camp thing...
I added some new '05 pics to the poi gallery. A few from Transformus, Burning Man, CarnEvil and other events.]]> Sat, 7 Jan 2006 01:25:25 EST http://www.pyromantic.com/archives/January2006.html#ablog1 It'll get prettier soon. ]]> Fri, 6 Jan 2006 21:33:07 EST
