suuuuure, I saw you do sub-10's on 2x2 BLD in Czech Open 
Weekly competition 2007-37 (2,3,3OH,4,5,BF,SQ1,MG,FMC,MM,PM,Relay)

I find this absolutely amazing! First of all, I would never even think to look for a normal solve on BLD, so unless it was glaringly obvious, there's no way I would catch it. Secondly, for you to spot a two-step solve, don the blindfold, and solve it in 5.93 seconds is really amazing! You're pretty good at 2x2x2 sighted, but you rarely ever get solves this fast, and to do this without 15 seconds preinspection is amazing. You beat Mátyás by almost a factor of 3!!!! How often does that happen? Well done!
By the way, this was a pretty bad spoiler. Now I'm tempted to look for it when I try this one.

I did it with Pochmann's corners so it ended up beign a Y perm, J perm and then orient the corners. Mine was 16 seconds though...

Exo! Altought I don't belive this, congrats! 
I just practiced a bit this 2x2BLD and I had some sub6 solves, but still too much 15+...

Speed blindsolving does have its advantages. 
But again, it was a lucky solve (10 or 11 moves), so it doesn't really count for much (my opinion, at least). I don't think I'll be getting anywhere near this time in a very long time, though.

Huh, what happened? When I got that 21.xx, I wanted to give up. But then I got a 16.xx PLL skip, and then a little burst of speed. Now I need to get liek this normally, to get back on track.

I should stick to OLL/PLL, instead of trying to do intuitive Ortega (or whatever it is called)!

I did an F premove for the first one. The second was a 1:35.27 DNF, would have been a new PB, but I missed one edge

My 24.53 on the 3x3x3 was a PLL skip! Finally under a minute on 3x3x3 OH! Again I got lucky on parity on the 4x4x4. The 5x5x5 was pretty good for me this week.
2x2x2 BLD: 35.34, DNF (1:16.64) = 35.34

New PB for me on 2x2x2 BLD and 4x4x4 BLD! I decided to resist the temptation to try speed BLD, since I've never tried it before and figured I'd mess up (and I'm not really that good at 2x2x2 anyway). I'm glad I did, because this was a really lucky scramble for Macky's 3-cycle method - just 2 corners to orient and a "Q perm". Memorization - 4x4x4: 9:00, 8:15; 5x5x5: 28:00, 19:30. 5x5x5 DNF was very badly messed up. So was the 2x2x2 DNF, for that matter. 3x3x3 DNF was just me messing up restoring my last setup moves - 3 moves from solved.
Relay: 6:58.86 (2x2x2: 11, 3x3x3: 40, 4x4x4: 2:13, 5x5x5: 3:54)
At least I finally broke 7 minutes (barely). Not too bad for me, I guess.
Square-1: (1:38.84), 2:54.81, 2:41.45, 2:41.62, (4:26.04) = 2:45.96
Terrible, I know, but I still haven't gotten consistent about putting it in cubic form. This will be much better next week.
MegaMinx: (5:25.27), (7:01.33), 5:48.44, 6:15.81, 6:45.42 = 6:16.56
Very bad. The 7 minute solve was a pop at the beginning of the solve - it really threw me off. I really need to do a better job of sanding off the bumps on my $5 puzzle.
PyraMinx: 37.50, 34.49, (40.38), (28.52), 35.15 = 35.71
Hey - I figured out how to make it a little more stable. Now I can average about 1 turn per second - still bad, but not quite as bad as before.
Fewest moves: 45 moves
2x2x2: R' D' B2 F' D U' R' U
2x2x3: L2 D' F' L' F2
cross + 3rd pair: z2 y F2 L' U' L
4th pair: U' R U2 R' U R U' R'
OLL: y' L' B' L R' U' R U L' B L
PLL: U' y2 F2 U' R' L F2 R L' U' F2
Well, my work on memorizing the OLLs is paying off here, at least. I found this after about 52 minutes. I'm still pretty bad at this, I'm afraid.

Memorization - 4x4x4: 9:00, 8:15; 5x5x5: 28:00, 19:30. 5x5x5 DNF was very badly messed up. So was the 2x2x2 DNF, for that matter. 3x3x3 DNF was just me messing up restoring my last setup moves - 3 moves from solved.
Relay: 6:58.86 (2x2x2: 11, 3x3x3: 40, 4x4x4: 2:13, 5x5x5: 3:54)
At least I finally broke 7 minutes (barely). Not too bad for me, I guess.
Square-1: (1:38.84), 2:54.81, 2:41.45, 2:41.62, (4:26.04) = 2:45.96
Terrible, I know, but I still haven't gotten consistent about putting it in cubic form. This will be much better next week.
MegaMinx: (5:25.27), (7:01.33), 5:48.44, 6:15.81, 6:45.42 = 6:16.56
Very bad. The 7 minute solve was a pop at the beginning of the solve - it really threw me off. I really need to do a better job of sanding off the bumps on my $5 puzzle.
PyraMinx: 37.50, 34.49, (40.38), (28.52), 35.15 = 35.71
Hey - I figured out how to make it a little more stable. Now I can average about 1 turn per second - still bad, but not quite as bad as before.
Fewest moves: 45 moves
2x2x2: R' D' B2 F' D U' R' U
2x2x3: L2 D' F' L' F2
cross + 3rd pair: z2 y F2 L' U' L
4th pair: U' R U2 R' U R U' R'
OLL: y' L' B' L R' U' R U L' B L
PLL: U' y2 F2 U' R' L F2 R L' U' F2
Well, my work on memorizing the OLLs is paying off here, at least. I found this after about 52 minutes. I'm still pretty bad at this, I'm afraid.

1:02.42 1:03.33 1:16.92 (1:48.41) (59.66)
1:16 was an OLL memory leak and 1:48 a PLL memory leak which messed up the cube
3x3 BLD: DNF (DNF and DNF)
I am working on a new method which does not seem to be really nice for the moment

I didn't see the speed solution when memorizing the first. But looking at it afterward I saw z y2 R D' B2 U2 B2 D R' or just D R' F2 L2 F2 R D'
3x3x3 BLD: 2:28.03 memo in 1:20; 1:55.49 memo in 45 sec
4x4x4 BLD: DNF; 6:36.35 memo in 3:50
5x5x5 BLD: 17:20.65 memo in 9:50; 17:11.98 memo in 10:35
Stupid brain, I feel like I can't speed up my memorization for the bigger cubes without drastically losing recall speed and accuracy. That's currently my focus for improving my bigger cubes BLD. The US BLD National records for 4x4 and 5x5 are so going down at the Virginia Open ;-)
Relay: 4:48.65
