Aside from the fact that it was insane to set the Man on fire while there were people in the pavilion beneath, there was a lot of hard work that went into the displays and technology under the man which was damaged. I concur that this seems fair. Yeah, the Man is built to burn, as many said in defense of the pre-burn, but there's a lot of work that which has to occur immediately before the burn to ensure as much safety as possible.

In response to a couple comments that just popped up, I agree that prison time isn't productive, and in fact helps to make things worse. If something more productive could be done with his time/energy in a way that'd address the danger he put others in, that'd be great. I agree that BM isn't a promised "safe zone," but I personally think that setting any structure on fire where they might be people in it is just plain wrong and there should be action taken.

If O'reilly can so confidently tell the Daily Show audience (see recent episode) that a teddy bear is a panda, when it is in fact a teddy bear, I think it is patently insane to consider that people actually trust what this guy has to say.

Hi Andy,

My pleasure! I´ve tried a few of the online tools and found Gyminee to be my favorite. Given how effective it is to share your goals & progress with others, I think the decision to incorporate social networking was a good call, and the execution is well done. Your team is rockin´and rollin´.

Thanks for the feedback invitation. I´ll take you up on it and forward any thoughts via email (will be within next few weeks when I return from Peru). I eat/sleep/breathe web stuff, so always happy to give feedback on anything that jumps out. Color me impressed that you took the time to respond to my blog post. I hope you and your team continues this kind of mentality as you grow. It´s appreciated when you know that a company cares and is truly user-centric.

Thanks for the good words on Blog design. It is a ¨premium¨ wordpress template that I purchased and made minor visual & code modifications.
