BoingBoing guestblogger Russ Kick (yep, that's him over in the right-hand column!) was recently interviewed for the NPR media analysis show 'On the Media" about freedom of information -- and your power to use it. Link to archived show in Real Audio. Transcript should be available on Tuesday. (Thanks, Jeremy)

New guestbl0gger -- Russ Kick of The
Memory Hole and Disinformation

New guestbl0gger -- Russ Kick of The
Memory Hole and Disinformation 04/30/2004 12:17 PM
First, gratitude to our outgoing guestblogger Alan Graham, for holding down the right hand column this past month. Thank you!

Next: A warm welcome to our new guestblogger, Russ Kick, the author of several books, including The Disinformation Book of Lists: Subversive Facts and Hidden Information in Rapid-Fire Format and 50 Things You're Not Supposed to Know.

Mr. Kick is also the editor of many anthologies, such as Everything You Know Is Wrong: The Disinformation Guide to Secrets and Lies; You Are Being Lied To: The Disinformation Guide to Media Distortion, Historical Whitewashes and Cultural Myths; and Abuse Your Illusions: The Disinformation Guide to Media Mirages and Establishment Lies. He has also written articles and a column for the Village Voice.

The Memory Hole, a website devoted to rescuing knowledge and freeing information, is his labor of love. Russ first made the front page of the New York Times when he digitally uncensored a heavily-redacted Justice Department report. In April 2004, he posted 288 previously unseen photos of military coffins coming back from Iraq, which he had pried loose from the Air Force. This set off a worldwide media frenzy leading to the front pages of most major newspapers, heavy rotation on CNN, the lead story on network newscasts, and interviews on Good Morning America and CBS Evening News. You can browse through some of that extensive media coverage here , via Google News search.

I have no doubt that Russ will indeed Kick it on the BoingBoing guestblog. Welcome! Link

Doc reports from the Garage.....

A reader just pointed me to Appcraft.org, an "international application developing platform for handheld and smartphone." Yesterday Trolltech's Qtopia Phone Edition won a Product Excellence Award at LinuxWorld (disclaimer: I was a judge on that one). Qtopia is a development environment for phones and PDAs. It's clear that the phone is becoming a new and rich environment for mobile applications. In fact, it's clearly eating the PDA (look at the Treo 600).

It's not clear, however, which phone OS platform will win the hearts and minds of developers. Symbian is the platform offered by some of the big phone makers, and it seems to be ahead right now; but Palm, Microsoft and Linux are also in the mix.
I'm interested in seeing how DIY-IT plays here. One can easily imagine a raft of business apps that tie employee phones into company data environments, for example.

Thoughts?

[Doc's IT Garage]

Marc quips in.....

Whenever I hear about some open mobile/PDA platform - I think of Russell Beattie.

"So Russ! Wassup wit dis Qtopia stuff? Is it the bomb or bust? Or somewhere in the middle? Java, php, python - what?"

RIP Russ Meyer

RIP Russ Meyer 09/22/2004 12:04 PM
Xeni Jardin: Russ Meyer, the filmmaking legend responsible for such sexploitation atrocities masterpieces as " The Immoral Mr. Teas", "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!", and "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls", has passed away at age 82. He lived a long life, full of glamour and boobies. All of us should be so lucky. Fleshbot, naturally, has more: Link. Rest in peace, Mr. Meyer. (thanks also to Caines, Jean-Luc, and others who suggested).

Can't wait to run into Russ

I sure hope to see Russell Beattie somewhere in my travels.

I gotta get him to help me find his new MyYahoo RSS reader for mobile phones.

I got a coolio 6630 from Charlie Shick at Nokia - and I'm roaming around using it and it's fancy features. Sure hope loading data off ofit works - as it's my only camera I'll have with me.

I wonder where the plug-in for Lifeblog for MT is?

It's kind of fun watching Russ turn into a Yahoopster.

"Since I can't seem to find any way to contact the organization behind missingkids.com, I'll post my comment to them here. Please have someone in your web department create an RSS feed of missing children. I am confident all aggregator developers will add it to their default list of feeds, increasing the chance of finding more kids quicker." [Adam Curry: Adam Curry's Weblog]

Not only would it be great to have this kind of feed as a default in news aggregators, but the pictures could easily be syndicated on any web site.

BoingBoing guestblogger Russ Kick has a brand new book out, The Disinformation Book of Lists. It's a bunch of really subversive data wrapped up in a user-friendly "book of lists" format -- politics, current events, business, history, science, art and literature, sex, drugs, death, and more good stuff. For instance:

* 9 Visitors Who Died at Disneyland
* 12 Strange Drugs, like carbogen, arsenic, and salamander brandy
* The CIA's 25 Tips for Interrogating a Prisoner
* 13 Nuclear Tests That Spread Radiation into Civilian Areas
* 63 Gay Animals
* 12 Things to do With Your Body After You're Dead
* 44 Substances That Soup up Your Brain
* 32 Famous People in Threesomes, including Lord Byron, Lenin, John Stuart Mill, Mary Shelley, and Picasso

banned in Iraq? 06/02/2004 12:10 PM
Posted by a member of Declan McCullagh's politech mailing list:

I've received email from a person with an [army.mil] address. This person is stationed in Iraq, and he/she tells me that The Memory Hole is blocked on military computers. Trying to get to the site results in the following message:

Access Denied (content_filter_denied)
Your request was denied because of its content categorization: "Extreme;Politics/Religion". For assistance, contact your network support team.

How interesting. I post raw documents created by the government, military, and corporations. These days, that apparently amounts to "political extremism." Naturally, I've filed a FOIA request about this blocking.

Update: BoingBoing reader Priapo says, "I read your post in boingboing talking about this subject and I have gathered a few ways to bypass the filter using a proxy. It's explained here."

Ben Hyde: Things fall apart when the organization starts getting highly invested in the analogy between a nail and screw. Then they start engaging in various thought stopping processes and begin singing in unison: "I gotta hammer, I hammer in the morning..."  For a while they think they are happy! Vigilance is hard work.

Video mashup of Russ Meyer + Hoodoo
Gurus / Persian Rugs

Video mashup of Russ Meyer + Hoodoo
Gurus / Persian Rugs 09/24/2004 11:08 AM
Xeni Jardin: Following up to this week's sad news that sexploitation auteur Russ Meyers has passed away (Link), BoingBoing reader Richard Crepeau says, "Thought I'd spread the word about a Hoodoo Gurus side project called the Persian Rugs. One of their videos uses Russ Meyer clips from Mondo Topless. A nice hybrid between garage rock and camp."

On their website, the band says:

"Music and sex go very well together. For proof, just take a look at the video for the Persian Rugs' new single 'Be A Woman'. The band and director Todd Sheldrick have created the perfect setting for the band's 60's Punk-inspired Primal Rock: strippers and cavemen collide in a 21st Century psychedelic garden of eden. (...) The Rugs got in touch with famed 60's director Russ Meyer, the maker of such films as 'Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!'and Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls' (the latter a direct influence on the Austin Powers movies) and asked for permission to incorporate footage from one of his cult classics, 'Mondo Topless', into their new filmclip. Russ asked to hear the song first, [and] loved it (...)

Link to "Be a Woman" *.asx video in low and hi-res, contains megadoses of kitsch nudity (and shots of vintage '60s electronic equipment). How did those ladies make their humongous breasts do that stuff on rhythm? Weighed down by all that eyeliner, no less?

The CEO of Ernie Ball talks about how his company left Microsoft for Linux after a licensing fiasco. Sterling Ball: It's just software. You have to figure out what you need to do within your organization and then get the right stuff for that. And we're not a backwards organization. We're progressive; we've won communications and design awards...The fact that I'm not sending my e-mail through Outlook doesn't hinder us. It's just kind of funny. I'm speaking to a standing-room-only audience at a major technology show because I use a different piece of software--that's hysterical.
