1000 Blank White Cards is a party game played with cards in which the deck is created as part of the game. Though it has been played by adults in organized groups in several cities and college campuses, 1000 Blank White Cards is described as well-suited for children in Hoyle's Rules of Games.[1] Since the bulk of the rules are contained on the cards (rather than existing as all-encompassing rules or in a rule book), 1000 Blank White Cards can be considered a sort of nomic. It can be played by any number of players and provides the opportunity for card creation and in fact actual gameplay outside the scope of a single sitting. Creating new cards during the game, dealing with previous cards' effects, is allowed, and creativity is encouraged as the most important part.[1]

Illuminatrix is a one metre square LED matrix to be stationed outside the More Carrot theme camp at 5:30 and Baghdad for Burning Man 2010.
But… it's not just any old LED matrix… We've seen those before. This one has animations… And not just any old animations… Animations created by you!
Yes, that's right! You lovely Burners can contribute to this project right now by designing animations in our editor. You can draw them by hand, or write JavaScript to generate your designs.
We'll save them off before we leave on August 26th and display them on the matrix outside of the theme camp.
