image01This ia a guest post by Tim Panton, a senior engineer at Voxeo labs.I'm in the middle of the desert in Nevada - a dusty, half-naked guy walks up to me: - "You have working cell service here ?"- "Yes, we built our own."- "I have to make a call, can I use it?"- "Sure."He makes a call to sort out a family emergency and then heads off back to his camp with a working mobile phone.We are at Burning Man - an annual festival of ephemeral art and radical self-sufficiency.
