The Last 10 Minutes - Invisibility: The Power of the Juice Weasel

Mad Scotch scientist Ulf Leonhardt predicts invisibility in the near future. So when Janet Jackson ever goes topless the next time, no one will really care. Again.

The Last 10 Minutes - Special Weekend White Edition

Four members of Aryan Brotherhood, a white supremacist prison gang, were convicted today on murder and intimidation charges. Two of them face the death penalty. What is most intriguing is not so much their origin, but rather, the non-Aryanicityousness of their names.

SightSpeed 5.0 Sneak Preview

The Last Ten Minutes has been MIA for a few days, due to all the last minute shuffling for SightSpeed 5.0, the latest release which allows you to not just do video, but voice, phone, cell, and - get this - TV.

You can't get it on the website yet, but here's a sneak preview of what's in store for SightSpeed 5.0, released later this evening.

Clicky-clicky for the video on YouTube.

P.S. Paid users get 2 minutes of video. Which may or may not mean longer daily videos, which means the suck may last even longer now. Sorry.

The Last 10 Minutes - I'm All Out of Love

So I did a video, but not one of my "video of the day" videos, but preparing a video for the big release of our new software next week. The cool thing is that recording time for videos will be 2 minutes. The bummer is that the video is 2 minutes. Try doing, and redoing, and redoing a 2 minute video 5 billion times. It's a bit tiresome.

Honestly I'm too tired to post & be witty; the video took all my energy away, and it's Friday and I'm gonna go home & pretend to DJ in the basement and maybe drink some Nero d'Avola. So instead, I'll give you some crap I wrote which was published back in aught deux. Have a great weekend everyone.

The Last 10 Minutes - Somebody Control These Cops

A New Zealand policewoman found it hard to make ends meet in pricey Aukland. So what did she do? Why, be a prostitute, of course! What better way to find the street scum incognito? And make some extra cash?

The Last 10 Minutes - Heat Making You Crazy?

Summertime temperatures can make even the most ordinary law-abiding citizen a little nuts. Take former New Jersey policeman Ioannis Mpletsakis. Former, because of nude driving. And, of other stuff, too. View the video report here. No I did not try to pronouce his name.

The Last 10 Minutes - A President Curses, A World Gasps

After growing weary of such big words like "crisis," "conflict," and "unprecedented diplomatic pee stain" in the midst of the throes of the Israel/Lebanon war, Mr. Bush talks on the level with chum Tony Blair. Unbeknownst to them their conversation is recorded.

The Last 10 Minutes - Special Weekend Castration Edition

Why disturb the bones of a centuries-dead opera singer who underwent voluntary cojones cutting?
"The bones will be examined by scientists from the universities of Bologna & Pisa for insights into...the physiology of a castrato." - Associated Press
Hey guys, let me save you some time - I don't think you'll find his nads.

The Last 10 Minutes - Paintball & Driving Can Be Risky

Hey, look, we’re shooting each other, like in the big cities, only they’re paintballs, not real bullets, so it’s not as dangerous! Eff yeah! It’s like that movie Fast & the Furious, but with guns and in Oklahoma, where the shizzle really goes down! Reprazent dog!

The Last 10 Minutes - Men Are Stupid Everywhere

A recent Reuters post reveals the shocking discovery that pick-up lines are universal. And what's also universal is how women will fall for the same crap in another language. Don't think so? Why do women still love Gerard Depardieu despite the nose so big Bin Laden could hide in it? When I was living in Italy for a year, dudes would spit the same game on American & British girls, and the girls were taken by something cheesier than their US counterparts. And the Italian girls fell for the American thicknecked goons with backwards baseball caps. It was all enough to make you vomit in your negroni. Almost.

The Last 10 Minutes - When the Condom Breaks

HIV is an expensive virus to handle - a monthly dose of meds will put you back an average of $600ish. Given that most Africans have never seen that much money in their life (although a recently deceased wife/husband/second-cousin's friend-in-law has millions stashed in a safety deposit box, mkay?), what can a poor man do? Only cut off his foreskin.

AIDS. A little slice can save a life.

The Last 10 Minutes - Ugly Will Get You Sued

"'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.” - Alfred Lord Tennyson

Yes, when all is said and done, and the alimony check never arrives from the no good piece of trash who spread his seed like cheap fertilizer with a past due expiration date, at least you can look back on that papable, albeit fleeting moment, when you felt love.

However, I doubt that will ever happen to this former bride-to-be in India.

The Last 10 Minutes - SWM Seeks Vulcan Mistress

If, whenever you vocally miss the way Uhura's smokin' short skirts were notably missing from the costumes of the newer series, but then Seven of Nine was pretty hot too, and the eyes of those around you glaze over, and you wish there was some lifeform out there who could be the ying to your subspace yang, well now you can warp speed over to Trek Passions, a dating service meant to bring Captain Kirk wannabes in social isolation together to make them feel that their mutual interests constitute belonging.
