Ze Frank is doing a new weekly show for Time Video. Those of you that watched The Show know that this is something to be excited about. (Those of you who didn’t watch The Show wasted your 2006, but you can make up for some of it by watching the Brain Crack episode.) So far Ze’s first two videos have had all the creativity, wit, and insight that his best commentary had on The Show.

Unfortunately, the only RSS feed I can find links not just the Ze Frank videos, but also every other boring, watered down video that runs on Time. Fortunately, we live in a world where Yahoo Pipes lets you solve this problem in about 45 seconds. Double fortunately for you, I’ve already made the pipe that filters out only Ze Frank’s videos from the Time feed. And here’s a direct link to the Pipe’s RSS feed.

PS: I’ve made analogous Pipes for Mindy Kaling on her Things That I Bought That I Love, and Dan Savage on The Stranger Blog.

Long-standing Alaskan Senator Ted Stevens was indicted today on federal corruption charges. Among the Senator’s more quotable statements was this doosy:

They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the Internet. And again, the Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It’s not a big truck. It’s a series of tubes. And if you don’t understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it’s going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.

Elsewhere on the market, big truck futures were up in heavy trading.
