Russ Kick's "Disinformation Book of
Lists"
05/05/2004 12:52 PMBoingBoing 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

Memory Hole and Disinformation

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!

believes Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction before the

08/04/2004 03:07 PMDoc 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?"
Can't wait to run into Russ

I sure hope to see Russell Beattie somewhere in my

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.

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.

Russ Kick on Afghan food drop fiasco
Russ Kick on Afghan food drop fiasco
05/26/2004 07:46 PMOur current guestblogger Russ Kick wrote a great piece for Loompanics
about the US food drop to Afghanistan.
You know those little packets in vitamin bottles and
clothes that are supposed to keep them fresh? Well, many of the little
meal packs dropped on Afghanistan contained one of those packets
(called a desiccant) to keep the food fresh. Unfortunately, the
Afghans aren't familiar with desiccants so they tore them open and ate
the powder. Some thought it was medicine, so they noshed it straight.
Others figured it was a funky American spice, so they sprinkled it on
their beans, rice, or pasta. Lots of Afghans got sick, though we don't
know if any deaths occurred. In fact, it's hard to say whether people
got sick from chowing down on desiccant or because the food in the
packets was usually spoiled.

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?
