To appease to the handful of BoingBoing readers who protested
yesterday's overabundance of marginally worksafe gadget/girl fetish
photo posts, I offer -- here it comes, folks -- a Japanese collector's
huge, obsessively-organized gallery of backpacker cooking stoves.
Guaranteed 100% babe-free. But it's a big internet; chances are that
someone, somewhere is super-turned-on by this.

Kim Jong Il's fanatical food fetish
Kim Jong Il's fanatical food fetish
06/26/2004 10:42 AMTodays' LA Times has a great story about North Korean dictator Kim
Jong Il's obsession with expensive, exotic food. He sends trusted
aides all over the world to buy morsels of gourmet food and eats
sashimi carved from live fish, while his subjects dig in the dirt with
sticks looking for bugs to eat.
Kim insists that his rice be cooked over a wood fire using
trees cut from Mt. Paektu, a legendary peak on the Chinese border,
according to a memoir written by a nephew of Kim's first wife. He has
his own private source of spring water. Female workers inspect each
grain of rice to ensure that they meet the leader's standards. (The
nephew, Lee Young Nam, who defected to South Korea in the 1980s, was
assassinated by suspected North Korean agents in Seoul in 1997.)
Kim's refined palate is not merely a matter of idle gossip, but the
subject of serious study by political psychologists trying to
understand the North Korean leadership.
Jerrold M. Post, a psychiatrist who founded and was the longtime
director of the CIA's Center for the Analysis of Personality and
Political Behavior, says Kim's obsession with eating the best food
comes from being the son of North Korean founder Kim Il Sung, revered
by the propaganda machine as a god-like figure. Post diagnosed the
younger Kim as a malign narcissist in large part based on information
about his eating habits.
"This is how you prepare food and water for a god."
The former South Korean Ambassador says this is a good thing: "Kim
Jong Il loves life. He is a drinker, a womanizer, a gourmet. To start
a war requires an ascetic like Hitler who doesn't care if he lives or
dies. But I can't see Kim starting a war that he will surely lose."

AT&T Puts EDGE Everywhere
AT&T Puts EDGE Everywhere
11/18/2003 04:22 PMAT&T Wireless said at Comdex today that EDGE is in 6,500 cities:
EDGE is 2.5G service that extends GPRS's 10 to 50 Kpbs up to the 100
Kbps or faster range. EDGE has been gradually appearing, and Cingular
had promised a full deployment probably by mid-2004. AT&T's
announcement seems like a slight surprise. AT&T is offering
unlimited EDGE (and by extension, GPRS in any areas that don't have
EDGE support) for $80/month. A card costs $150 after rebate for a
two-year service commitment. AT&T said that they'd also offer and
support the Nokia 6200 EDGE phone which can be used with a laptop or
as a cell phone. EDGE is available outside the U.S. on AT&T's
network in Puerto Rico and Bermuda, as well as Vancouver, British
Columbia. The plan is to expand throughout Canada in 2004. (As a
Cingular subscriber, this is precisely the kind of thing that could
get me to switch -- especially if that PC Card from Sony Ericsson has
Mac OS X drivers.)...

What Can The US Do To Keep Its Tech
Edge?
What Can The US Do To Keep Its Tech
Edge?
04/19/2005 11:07 AMThere have been a few interesting discussions lately about the US's
place in the technology world. With our supposed
fall
in the broadband rankings combined with US university's recent
poor showing in the ACM's programming contest, a
number of folks are worried that the US is losing its technology edge.
There is the argument that things aren't as bad as they might appear
-- and it's tough to determine the state of the entire industry on
these two, somewhat random, datapoints. However, there's no reason
people shouldn't at least be
thinking about ways to improve US
competence in the technology field. The head of the ACM suggests that
a few simple changes could make a huge difference, just by
showing young people that the country cares about technology. For
example, he notes that schools in other countries base some of their
funding wins on how well they do in the ACM contest, and the Russian
winners a few years ago got to meet with President Putin -- while
President Bush seems to focus on congratulating sports winners. While
having the President say hi to some CS students is a nice idea, it's
hardly a real plan to push tech education forward. Last year,
remember all those claims from both Presidential candidates about
univer
sal broadband? It didn't actually do very much to stimulate
broadband at all. So, politicians saying things isn't quite the same
as doing things. Meanwhile, some are noticing that the real broadband
competition
appears to be happening in Europe, where there isn't
duopoly control over access -- though, it's also not clear that many
of those companies competing will be able to survive for very long.
The real trick is (a) understanding how important technology is, and
what it's real impact is and (b) making sure nothing is impeding
competition. Right now it's not clear that the US is doing the
greatest job on both of those points -- but that doesn't mean we
should rush into making big changes that will cause even more trouble
either.

I just got the following message on Orkut.
Limit reached for
number of friends
You have 1024 friends. You can only have up to 1000 friends. Before
you can add more friends, you need to remove
friends.
Partially because I was getting sick of social
networks systems, partially because they were trying to be "exclusive"
with invite only and partially because it was easy, I took the policy
of saying yes to every friend request that didn't look like a
fakester. Now I've found the edge of Orkut. According to Orkut, you
can only have 1000 friends. I guess that's OK compared to the 150 or
so for AIM. This error message reminds me a bit of real life. I know
need to forget someone every time I meet someone I want to remember
because I'm having a buffer overflow on my people recognition
memory.
Now the question is... What do I do with my Orkut network now that
I'm "done"?

« Snapshot from Mark Maher's American Polaroids. »
I've been noticing that Polaroid SX-70 cameras and snapshots are
really making a comeback. I'm not really sure why as I had one of
those cameras back in the 70s and the photos were either totally weird
from inappropriate colours or they would disintegrate within a few
years. So I'm a little surprised to see them becoming a new retro-hip
item, especially since the film is even more expensive now than it was
in the 70s.
One particularly good use of the polaroid medium I've seen is Amer
ican Polaroids by Mark Maher. The monologues are worth
watching as the polaroid slide show is synchronized to his talking
which makes for an interesting guided tour of sorts. He's an American
who, if I read correctly, lives here in Helsinki and shares a lot of
the same inner conflicts about the country we both used to inhabit.
The snapshot of Ronald McDonald is as creepy as it is revealing. He's
also thinking about what will be considered folk art in 20 or 30 years
which is interesting since I usually look around and wonder what will
be dug up by archaeologists far into the future and it is likely the
very mundane that will survive us all. We live in the mundane and pass
by the same things every day without looking at the subtle changes in
it or the details it tries to convey. A photo of a grocery store aisle
from the 70s is far, far more interesting than yet another artsy
picture of some building somewhere. Maher does a fine job of
documenting some of the more random, bizarre and utterly banal bits of
America.
I also stumbled across PolaroiDiary
somewhere while wandering around the web. An American expat living in
Hamburg who posts, usually, a picture every day. I should write to him
and explain that his passport number may be visible on the legal alien polaroid as
the format requires that it be on the machine readable lines on the
bottom.
And, lastly, I just found a fabulous reason to buy Kodachrome for the
Lomo, a
really cool lampshade! I subscribed to the first issues of
ReadyMade and wasn't all that excited since its market seemed to be
all the kids too young for Martha Stewart and not technical enough for
Popular Mechanics with most of the projects being really impractical.
This isn't very practical but it's simple and creative without being
gaudy. It sure beats slide shows. :)
