Quoting: Anonymous Coward 516293 The black rock
company is strange because black rock only exsists for 1 week !
So they went to all the trouble and money of setting up this business for the sake of 1 week a year?
I guess Hewlett met Platsky at burning man . Which seems like a festival where "anything goes " .
Platsky is a guy who is a nuclear medicne technology expert and computer expert/ as well as a 40 something hippy .
Hewlett is a single 45 year old college lecturer/entrepeneur(failed) , new age spiritual advisor.
One would hope they have an innocent friendship but It maybe more than this .
Its like they are a front for something .
Quoting: GhostVikingI agree. It does seem like a front for something. Can't put my finger on it though. Non-profits, sustainability, usually some money laundering found in those kind of organizations. I guess the involvement with so many "academics" is what bothers me most, lol. Like it's some kind of experiment.
Platsky has a lot of computer experience and some Nuclear Medicine Technology.

one of them is this
On the surface, when you read about what they are trying to do, has a 'utopia' sound to it. People moving back to 'community', which isn't a bad thing, considering the world we live in now, but I guess I am always leary when I see non-profit and sustainablity used together.
