It's official. I have a pr0n name, thanks to MyPornName.com - another sillyservice(tm) from Jason "We're Having Mexican - Get Over It" DeFillippo. He caught me in the act earlier this afternoon. Showing off gadgetry... not... doing something naughty with my naughty bits. In this particular picture, I'm demonstrating the proper usage of the "O" key. See, you're not supposed to tap it without sounding it out first. That's hell for Canadians, let me tell ya. Can you guess who's fingers those are... in the lower right-hand corner? Hint: they're not Sprocket's. Oops, I mean: Chaz Rage's....

Chernobyl survivor interview - Over at the New Scientist site Alexander Yuvchenko (one of the few surviving workers at the site) talks about the day Chernobyl went kablooie. "...we walked outside. What we saw was terrifying. Everything that could be destroyed had been. The entire water coolant system was gone. The right-hand side of the reactor hall had been completely destroyed, and on the left the pipes were just hanging." "From where I stood I could see a huge beam of projected light flooding up into infinity from the reactor. It was like a laser light, caused by the ionisation of the air. It was light-bluish, and it was very beautiful. I watched it for several seconds. If I'd stood there for just a few minutes I would probably have died on the spot..."

Now I don't know how or why American troops in Afghanistan would be repainting a Russian gunship, but however or whoever, this Mi-24 (the infamous 'HIND') is impressive. Awful, garish, and painful, but impressive. It's good to know that the out-of-work Hasbro G.I. Joe designers found gainful employ somewhere.

I blogged about a woman taking a motorcycle through Chernobyl and her web page. It looks like it was a fraud.

A fraud exposed, and a true thing...

Found this on the infiltrate.org forum - thought you might find it interesting. You'd wonder why somebody would go to the lengths to fake something like this.

Chornobyl "Ghost Town" story is a fabrication TOP
e-POSHTA subscriber Mary Mycio writes:

I am based in Kyiv and writing a book about Chornobyl for the Joseph Henry Press. Several sources have sent me links to the "Ghost Town" photo essay included in the last e-POSHTA mailing. Though it was full of factual errors, I did find the notion of lone young woman riding her motorcycle through the evacuated Zone of Alienation to be intriguing and asked about it when I visited there two days ago.

I am sorry to report that much of Elena's story is not true. She did not travel around the zone by herself on a motorcycle. Motorcycles are banned in the zone, as is wandering around alone, without an escort from the zone administration. She made one trip there with her husband and a friend. They traveled in a Chornobyl car that picked them up in Kyiv.

This sucks. It was such a cool story. One thing that I realized when thinking about this is, how do you fact check the fact check on something that so far away... Is there anything other than this post to e-POSHTA debunking this story?

Chernobyl Poems and photos of Lybov

Chernobyl Poems and photos of Lybov
Sirota 03/08/2004 11:03 PM
Following up on last week's post about a woman's photob logging-by-motorcycle in the Chernobyl dead zone, this somewhat older collection of poems by a Chernobyl survivor -- and an online collection of images documenting her journey back to the site.

Lybov Sirota once worked as director of a writing program for children near the Chernobyl Atomic Energy Station. Before April 25th, 1986, she'd never written poetry. That night, she needed a breath of fresh air; she walked out on her balcony in Pripyat and watched Chernobyl's nuclear reactor explode. The radioactivity exposure caused Sirota and her son, Sasha, to become very ill. She began writing poetry about the experience. In 2000, her son persuaded her make a pilgrimage to their their former home; that journey is documented he re.

Link to poems, Li nk to photo series. (Thanks, muonzoo.)

Was this story just another web fraud? Yes, says subscriber Mary Mycio on the "e-POSHTA" Ukranian mailing list, re-posted on Neil Gaiman's website.

I am sorry to report that much of Elena's story is not true. She did not travel around the zone by herself on a motorcycle. Motorcycles are banned in the zone, as is wandering around alone, without an escort from the zone administration. She made one trip there with her husband and a friend. They traveled in a Chornobyl car that picked them up in Kyiv.

She did, however, bring a motorcycle helmet. They organized their trip through a Kyiv travel agency and the administration of the Chornobyl zone (and not her father). They were given the same standard excursion that most Chernobyl tourists receive. When the Web site appeared, Zone Administration personnel were in an uproar over who approved a motorcycle trip in the zone. When it turned out that the motorcycle story was an invention, they were even less pleased about this fantasy Web site.

Because of those problems, Elena and her husband have changed the Web site and the story considerably in the last few days. Earlier versions of the narrative lied more blatantly about Elena taking lone motorcycle trips in the zone. That has been changed to merely suggest that she does so, which is still misleading.

If so -- ah, well. C'est la web. The photos are still amazing. Link (Thanks, chupacabra)

Digital moviebl0g includes short films
from Chernobyl and Ethiopia 07/13/2004 12:23 PM
Luuk Bowman's collaborative movieblog Tropisms is starting to move again, after a long silence.

Tropisms started in 2002 as a personal videolog or "vlog," a weblog that integrated streaming video-files with a travel diary. The site has grown into a collective movieblog with a small group of participating filmmakers. Peter Boonstra and Marcel van Brakel (NL) are currently in Chernobyl, where they upload movies in an internet cafe. Josh Koury (VS) traces his aunt and uncle that have been stationed to a small section of backwoods Tennessee by the military. Earlier this year, Luuk Bouwman (NL) went to Ethiopia to find out about computer love in a place usually associated with famine. Tropisms is a heavy site, it uses flash and quicktime streams, so a broadband connection is needed. On Macs, Mozilla is preferable.
