This year didn't really have anything too exciting compared to last year, to the point that given the very remote location, I'm not sure I'll go back next year.

All that said, here are the pictures: i01*

The dark room was probably the most fun location for me :)

hi Erin :)

the cuttlefish crew made a new art car this year

One thing new this year was the Luminarium, which costs $7 extra. You were supposed to reserve timeslots, but the whole thing didn't seem efficient, and was apparently oversold, so it soon had a long line that didn't move much. Mmmhh....

I had plenty of spare time to see a few talks, not too many caught my eye, but those 3, did:

a talk on wearable LEDs

batteries are often the issue :)

nice one

the talk by Steve Wozniak was excellent

The magician that uses physic properties and adds magic on top, did a great job:

I had a chat with this guy, I was honestly worried about this "plane", given that it was meant to carry a human. The guy is a pilot and did his research. His goal was to fly in ground effect only, which will indeed limit the injuries if anything goes wrong, which it probably will a few times :) If he sticks to that, I wish him luck as long a no one tries to actually fly at altitude with that thing, since if any motor failure happens, this thing is going down and hard (glide ratio of a brick and no rudder to compensate for adverse yaw from a single motor failure):

Other random things:

make your own fireworks

the framework laptop I hope to own one day

Of course I wasn't the only person with costume:

big LED earings need a big battery :)

So there you go. Not sure when I'll go back, but here are the previous ones I went to if you're curious:

Even Armin Van Buuren was there :)

I didn't know it was an updated version of the musical, but overall it kept enough of the original, and the added bits about hydrogen were entertaining.
They nicely allowed us to take pictures and videos at the end of the show:

Pictures from earth, was pretty, but the actual full screen movie was barely 35mn, which felt pretty underwhelming

And way too soon, it was over. It was not a bad show, but it felt short of what the tech could do, and 35mn of full screen experience was way too short. Let's see how Unity pans out compared to that:
