The Pyrosphere Sequencer Program by Zeke! Zeke spent many a sleepless night working out this squencer like a total rockstar.

We want YOU! …to make a sweet ass fire sequence that we can use at Burning Man 2010! Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to pump out as many amzing designs and chase sequences as possible in the next few weeks. We can fit up to 43 million frames in our control box, which hopefully will be enough… We’ll be going through everything that gets submitted and picking the best 1,000 or so to use on the playa. So get to work! It’s crazy fun making these things too…don’t stay up too late!

Here’s a video tutorial, and the link:

go to the link below, download and install the Unity player if you don’t already have it (takes 15 seconds) and have fun!

So… If you like massive, mind-blowing fire art front and center at Nexus, and don’t mind looking cool at the same time,
buy a freakin’ hoodie!

So here’s how it works:

• Hit the paypal button and donate at least $50 (the more the merrier!)
• Fill out the mailing address section
• Choose your color, and size.   Colors: Black on Red, Red on Black, Brown on Green, Black on Yellow, Black on Orange, Black on Blue, Red on Blue

Pick up your sweet ass hoodie in person from Erin B, either before BM or on the playa.
