Burning Man “coffee table book” iPhone ap is here & LA Regional Ice Cream Social is THERE June 13!

Well it’s not exactly here on my blog, but it’s here on the planet ready for you to pick up at your local iTunes store and put in your shopping cart in plenty of time to prepare for and share the Playa!! And while no, it’s not THAT ap, it is an ap that lets you show people what in the heck Burning Man is from the comfort of your own iPhone! (I promise to let you know about THAT app: Brilliant Burning Man iPhone Ap & 2008 photos) as soon as the app resurfaces.

So back to the story at hand. Burning Man 2008: A Photo Essay by Matt Freedman is on iTunes:  http://bit.ly/dFIWy According to developer Pmatt from Seattle’s Space Virgins Camp,

Think of the app as a coffee table book for the iPhone, together with a selection of essays. It contains over 300 extraordinary Burning Man photos, packaged in an easy-to-use full screen photo viewer.  You can go through the whole collection, or browse by categories (People, Art, Art Cars, The Man, Dust, etc.). When people ask you what Burning Man is about, now you can just pull out your iPhone (or iPod Touch) and show them!

You can also visit my site to see sample images, excerpts from the essays, and the complete text of my annotated packing list…
