Looks like it’s doable using [javascript](http://homepage.ntlworld.com/kayseycarvey/document2.html)! Run a javasript in your page that sets up a loop or timer or interrupt or something (whichever uses the least resources in the browser) that changes the document.title property at one-minute intervals.

It doesn’t even have actual video? Jesus must be on a budget.

Ask and you shall receive. It took me a day to figure out how to do it, but it should be working now. Each ones lasts 20 seconds.

Wow! Cool!

[sub]Nitpicks…  
There’s a colon at the front of each title. Also, what character set are the titles in? The apostrophe in The Fifth Dentist Who Won’t Recommend Trident shows up as a diamond with a question mark in my browser, but I default to UTF-8.[/sub]

There’s a colon at the beginning if there isn’t a page title, for example, on the home page. On all the article pages it’s prefaced by the page’s title. (since they were getting so long I put the page title at the front). I think it’s just the regular character set.
