This is a 14 minute video made up of the most interesting stuff I streamed from my iPhone today (20080925) at the big Wall Street Bailout protest. Remember, it came from my iPhone, so it kind looks like crap. Watch for a poorly shot moment (still learning how best to use the iPhone as a camcorder) where I met Arun Gupta, the man who wrote what Amy Goodman of Democracy Now called "the email that was heard 'round the world." Apparently the protest sprung up with no organizing group--everyone who read Arun's email just said "we'll be there on Thursday!" and so Arun was there, too. I'm guessing his email was just that moving. He seemed like a real cool guy, too. Other highlights: The crazy guillotine man, the best profane protest chant evar, scooter cops, and MORE.

Two nights ago I was on my way to see my wife sing at the Algonquin Salon. On my way I happened to pass through Times Square to see, well, what's in this video--how surreal! Live opera being performed up the street at Lincoln Center, piped down to giant screens in front of a huge array of seats. Anyone could come in and sit down and watch three acts, each from a different show, all performed by opera-great Renee Flemming. I'm not a fan of opera, but I thought of my mom that night--she loves opera. This footage is for you, Mom! (Sorry it's so crappy... blame the iPhone!)

Wow--this was a crazy episode--I got kidnapped!! Luckily, the kidnapper shot video of me in captivity so we're using that for the show this week. Don't worry, I'm OK now, but WHEW! Scary stuff!! (Not really.)

Ever have a situation where you're just overwhelmed with cuteness? In these situations it's easy to fall into a state of cutitonia, where one is simply unable to function normally. Well, in this episode of The 5 Minute Show, guest-host SiSi reports on a possible cure for excessive cuteness.

In our second outing after going back into production, we got very creative and "edgy" by tackling a topic rich with comedy gold! IMMIGRATION! Or as we call it in America, "RACISM!" Haha, just kidding. Watch it and tell me you don't find it offensive. Al Jolson was never this funny.

Three years after the last episode (episode 12) of the 5 Minute Show was shot I asked my friends if they wanted to go back to making more eps of T5MS and they said yes! Sadly, most of them kind of lost interest after a handful of episodes, so I found NEW friends to help me! But that's later. This episode originally posted on April 1, 2006.

OK, this is the final episode of t5MS before a LONG break. See, it's hard to make funny when the war is on your mind. I don't know how Jon Stewart and his writers do it 4 days a week. I did it once and had to take three years off. :( Anyway, so, see if you like ThePete's coverage of the Iraq Attack!

The episode of The 5 Minute Show was shot the day I learned that the US had invaded Iraq. I found this pretty disturbing and felt weird about doing a "funny" video show that week, so I didn't. Don't worry, I don't stay serious very long after this episode. In fact, this is the second-to-last episode of The 5 Minute Show before a rather long hiatus. But don't worry, you won't feel a thing :D

This video demonstrates one of the bugs XO users (XOsers?) who got their XOs in December of 2007 had to deal with. On connecting to another XO for chat (or through a simulated Mesh network) the chat activity contained a bug that made the program virtually unusable. While the bug was eventually taken care of, it is a good indicator on how the XO's Sugar operating system was not quite ready for primetime--and still isn't as I write this two months later.

Check out this short, first impression review of Seesmic.com that I shot. It gives you and idea of how Seesmic works and how it doesn't and why I'll probably stick to Utterz.com despite the fact that there is at least one feature I like better on Seesmic.

This is my very first video blog entry. While I had "The 5 Minute Show" two years earlier, this was the first time I had ever tried to do a more personal video. This was shot by a much crappier camera than I shot T5MS with and much crappier than the camera I've shot my more recent vlogs with, too. Enjoy the primitive!

Here is the final episode following ThePete's adventures at an anti-Iraq War rally back in 2003, before the invasion happened. Sure, it didn't do any good, but there were a lot of hot women at the protest! :D But seriously, it was fun to go and experience all those people who think war's a bad idea.

Yeah, I am a closeted fanboy of space. You know, all that black, empty stuff out there? Yeah, I'm into that stuff. So, when the shuttle Columbia disintegrated on re-entry back in 2003 I decided to get serious for an episode of The 5 Minute Show. A mistake? Maybe--but I felt better afterwards. Maybe you will too.

Here are another 8 minutes of fun documenting me on hold with OLPC trying to find out if my XO laptop has shipped yet. It was a full hour I was on hold with them, so I had to get creative to keep myself entertained. Watch the fun! And don't worry--they pick up before the end of the video. :) To Revver management: please note that the hold music is part of the event, thus making the use of music someone other than me holds the rights to legal under the concept of "fair use." This is a documentary of a particular event, part of which is being on hold and hearing that music. To cut out the music would make it unrepresentative of what happened. Thanks!

Originally shot back in 2003, I shot this first of many episodes of the 5 Minute Show. Silly, short, fun, (hopefully) funny, it would be something I'd continue for a while. Watch and let me know what you think.
