Julia Allison parody funnier than anything she's ever produced
Richard Blakeley, the Gawker videologist who turned this year's CES into a TV-free zone, has turned his clicker on Wired covergirl Julia Allison. She is a rich target for parody: the lip dubs, the outfits, the new friends she charms into acting like old friends. The only problem with Blakeley's "NomSociety," a spoof of Allison's startup NonSociety? It assumes that anyone was ever paying attention to Allison's "startup." The original work, which you probably haven't seen, below: More »

Anybody else sick of those smug bastards living it up in Austin?
"I'm bored as fuck and jealous all those assholes are in Austin and I'm not," my colleague and professional troublemaker Richard Blakelely told me over the weekend. Social media minx Alisa Leonard concurred in a Twitter: "not at sxsw and feeling like everyone went to the prom besides me." My sentiments, exactly.

AT&T wants to scan all your emails and downloads for illicit content. Not very happy about that, Boing Boing gadget blogger Joel Johnson brought up the topic on The Hugh Thompson Show. Which is, of course, distributed exclusively on the Web over the AT&T Tech Channel. Because Johnson eventually got the audience involved, the first take of the interview likely won't make it to the episode's final cut. But troublemaking Gawker Media videographer Richard Blakeley took his own footage for the clip above. "I was tackled by 3 guys trying to get the footage out of the building," Blakelely tells us. CES wishes they had such security.

Banned cameraman hawks CES press badge
Richard Blakeley, the Gawker Media cameraman whose antics for Gizmodo drew widespread attention, is selling his press badge — the last one he'll ever get, he says — for $100 on Craigslist. Why is it a collector's item? Because CES has banned him from attending future events after he filmed himself using a remote control to turn off TV screens on the show floor. (Gizmodo, like Valleywag, is owned by Gawker Media, and Blakeley does video work for both sites.)

More CES sanctions against Blakeley
Star Wonkette commenter FlakJack listed additional punishments the Consumer Electronics Show people should mete out to Gizmodo's TV-remote prankster. Edited version:- No protective sleeve for press room coffee cup.
- Photo credential only allows you to take pics of booth dudes, not babes.
- Shocks from a designer Taser anytime you roll your eyes at a vendor's use of jargon.
- Mandatory lunch with Scoble and Calacanis.

A week to remember: At CES, more time in jail than Paris Hilton
What a week! On my first trip to Vegas and the Consumer Electronics Show, I survived harassment by bulldog aficionado Jason Calacanis, discovered that HP adman Jay-Z uses a Mac, and laughed at Richard Blakeley's TV-B-Gone prank. Now we hear that he's been banned from the show. It could be worse. He could be behind bars... More »
