tasty blog snack

I just got an email about Jesse Blaze Snider being on TalkShoe tomorrow! Now, I have to admit that up until I did a google search.. I had no idea who he was.

Well, he’s on MTV’s Rock the Cradle and just so happens to be the son of Twisted Sister’s frontman Dee Snider. Kinda neat! It’s always cool to see ‘celebrities’ adapting to social media.. or at least trying to. We’re all still one up on all the cool stuff for the time being

MTV will actually be filming him while he’s on the call tomorrow for the show.. so hey, check it out if you’re around. I’ll be stopping in to see how it’s going!

Speaking of talkshoe.. our chatfest (and I say our because everyone collectively talks way more than I do :)) is of course this Sunday at 8:30p EDT! I’ll post a follow up blog with more info at some point before the time comes.

Tonight I did two shows — one over on ustream and another on blogtv! It was a lot of fun. Kinda like a party with cake and open wifi.. and a few hundred of your closest friends were invited.

I’m going to be doing shows on both randomly. Each will have something a little different. What that is.. I don’t know yet. Always stay tuned for Sunday night chatfests unless I say I can’t make it otherwise.

If you’d like to join in the Hannah Montana fake hair party we just started on flickr.. go out to your nearest store that sells anything (Wal*Mart? Target?) and pick up one of these wonderful hair pieces for $4. Take photo. Upload to flickr then tag it hannahmontanahairftw and thats it!

Why? There is no rhyme or reason why we do the things we do.

…and now, for a video:

I did a metoday video for djsteen! Everything I said was taken directly from the chatroom.

So, I’m a big fan of several things: iTunes (Apple!), LOST, spoofing videos, and catchy beats. When I first heard Madonna’s new song “4 Minutes” the only thing I kept picturing as I heard it replay over and over on the radio, is how long it usually takes me to download an episode of LOST on iTunes with FiOS.

Pretty normal, right? Right.

Anyways, here’s the lyrics to this phat remix, yo:

LYRICS:

I’m out of time and all I got is 4 minutes x2

Come on store, I’m waiting for my new download to go
Well, I don’t have time, you will be mine, Wanna play my new show

Speed up my server, It’s downloading
Just too damn slow, I need my new show

Just wanna see Jack, Gotta catch up
Where’s the hatch?

Are you ready to go? x2

If you bought it, You already got it
If you bought it, It better be what you want

If you steal it, Don’t be a thief
Get on iTunes, It’ll give you what you want

Downloading..You only got 4 minutes to save this file
Downloading.. iPod iPhone

This is by far the best Steve Jobs parody I’ve ever seen. I’m still laughing!

There’s nothing I love more than seeing great collaboration videos with talented people. It’s very inspirational and refreshing.

I caught up with one of my favorite internet video funny content creator maker person lastnight (Billy Reid) and was reminded how much I loved one of his last videos.

Not only is this video amazing, but it’s a great example of collaboration. Words and music were written by Billy and the photos were shot by Adam Schelle.

Magibon is fake.. or something (that’s the big debate).

Whatever she is.. whoever she is.. Someone is watching her. With over 45,000 youtube subscribers, almost 2 million channel views and 48 videos of nothing more than what appears to be a 12 year old starring at a camera.

Occasionally we’ll get lucky and Magi (Magibon, MRirian?) will say a few Japanese words and even make a few audible noises. One of the more exciting videos is when Magibon drinks a coke and eats pizza!

Ouch! Hot!

There is a “fansite” someone created for her at magibon.com — It’s very Donnie Darko esque and even a bit disturbing.

This site created some controversy awhile back with people claiming it was a trailer for a film that magibon was the star in and her youtube nonsense and was being used for viral promotion (Lonelygirl 2.0?).

Anyways, check out her YouTube channel. You’ll either be creeped out and/or intrigued. Let me know which route you choose!

..and this is how!

My mom was not very agreeable to my attempt saving of this bird.

Episode Notes: What’s up kids?! Let’s chat at chatfest!
Start Time (EDT): 04/13/08 08:30 PM EDT
Phone Number: (724) 444-7444
Call ID: 46121

Alright! It’s time for another chatfest — It’s been awhile since we’ve had one. They are back!

Today’s chatfest will of course be about whatever you want and will go wherever the discussion takes us. As a fall back topic though, we’ll always have this weeks btchrs on flickr Find your favorite btchr on flickr and bring it to chatfest!

Last week some of you may have attended my test show to get the audio from talkshoe into ustream. That went extremely well so hopefully there won’t be any issues with that today.

HOW DO I JUST WATCH?

You can watch and chat here on ustream for the full effect. I’ll also be on various other streams too.. Come find me!

HOW DO I CALL IN?

Phone Number: (724) 444-7444
Call ID: 46121

You can use your phone, skype, or the built-in shoe phone option on the talkshoe webclient. Go to talkshoe.com and create a user-id and a pin so you’ll be easily recognized on the call. If you get lost, you can always head to ijustinechatfest.com and that will take you to my talkshoe profile page.

Most people feel that the phone and skype seem to work best. Remember, always wear headphones if you’re calling in on your computer so there won’t be feedback audio on the stream. If there is, I will mute you!!

WHAT IF I’VE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE?

That’s fine! Feel free to just watch and get familiar with the tools we’re using. If you’re not comfortable with it just yet.. try again next Sunday! I look forward to talking to everyone.

DO YOU GIVE PRIZES AWAY?

Yes, sometimes I do. Granted, I owe about 6 people tshirts and other treats.. They will get them soon. *cough* Shylie/Kemics/iMatty*cough*

Today I have some moshimonster invites to give away!!!!!

HOW DO I WIN A PRIZE?

It’s easy. I pick the winners from twitter. I’ll ask a question on the stream, and everyone who is on twitter will send out a message starting with @ijustine then the answer. Just head on over to join twitter, then follow me and then get ready to answer a question!

I just ate a bowl of cereal and got a little nervous as after taking a bite: I believe there may have been a little creature in there.

I’ve been trying to convince myself otherwise so I thought I’d do a google search to get some statistics on bugs in cereal!

Well, instead of finding my answer as the first click.. I found this great animated gif. I have since quit looking because this made my day. I hope it will make yours too. Now, go have some tasty cereal!

I’m a sucker for cute little animated pets that need to be taken care of. Well, these little guys are moshi monsters and they tend to be quite needy. As I type this “Bia” is in the background begging for attention. Pictured above is his little unfurnished home.

Bia wanted to go shopping.. So, I took him shopping! He said he wanted a shelf.. I bought him a shelf and some wall paper. What does he do the first thing we get back to our house? WANTS TO GO SHOPPING AGAIN!!

In addition to shopping, there are challenges and games that will gain you rox (that’s their monetary system), that allows you to purchase more goods to keep your little pet happy.

I’m not exactly sure what the age demographic is for this, but I’ve been entertained for over an hour already. I even installed him as an on my facebook! Help!

I took Bia for a walk in Monstro City. I didn’t keep him out long because he just wanted to go back and eat the treats I bought him at the ‘Gross-ery Store’.

Moshi is still in beta.. I can’t wait until it’s open so we can all play in Monstro together! I’ll try to get another invite to give away at chatfest this Sunday.
