For those that cannot go, here is your portal to being a voyeur. enjoy the BMIR entertainment and check back often, the scale, speed and zoom changes many times. be sure to watch sat night 10pm'ish for the burning of the man... or any evening to see the light show. its stuck now, it seems, but it should go to a 360 degree pan soon. http://www.ustream.tv/burningman
