Subject: I'm displaying world's largest photo in San Francisco Sunday

Each year my panoramic photos get bigger and bigger.  This year thanks
to Google's loan of an even higher resolution Canon 1Ds camera, I have
produced a panoramic photo of Burning Man that is 53,000 pixels wide
220 million pixels in size.   This is the largest digital photo I have
ever heard tell of.  I have printed it 32 feet long and 28" high, and
it's still pretty decent up close.

It's too large for my own walls (it will go on display at Google later)
but I will be displaying it, and some other shots, at this year's Burning
Man "decompression" party in San Francisco on Sunday, Oct 12.

The decompression is the Burning-Man afterparty.  They close off Indiana
St. between Mariposa and 21st St. and put together a Mini-burnignman.
A number of the art projects (that weren't burnt) come and display things.
Some theme camps set up mini-versions of themselves.  No camping, no dust.

OK, it's not really like Burning Man, but you can get as much of a taste
as you can get without going to the Black Rock Desert.  It's $20 to get
in, $10 if you dress in BM appropriate (bizarre) attire.

[...]

I will be located opposite Club Cocomo on the fence.  Hope to see you there.
On Saturday afternoon, I will drop by the Vintage Computer Festival
http://www.vintage.org/2003/main/ to see all my old friends from my
time at the dawn of microcomputers.

I'll probably be in Oakland on Saturday, but I'm interested in going
to the Vintage Computer Festival on Sunday.  (It's in Mountain View at
the Computer History Museum.  I have never yet been there.)
