Well my little geek friends, it’s official — the celebs are taking over twitter! Ashton met his 1 million mark yesterday and now Oprah is tweeting about sandwiches and in all caps! (..and I’ll also never understand out of the 3 million photos I have online, why anyone would choose that one?)

My only wish is that these celebs will actually tweet themselves and not have someone do it for them — I mean, seriously.. it’s a text message. Can you really not handle that?

What are your thoughts?

Pittsburgh Penguins

Posted at 11:07 am | 35 comments

My sister and I went to the the first playoff game last night between the Pens and the Flyers. It was lots of fun and Pittsburgh won! Can’t say I’ve really watched very many games until I came back home to, but that’s okay :)

There is still time to enter the contest’s contest! Yeah, you read that right. I’m heading to give away a pretty big prize to Mozy’s 1 millionth customer. They don’t know what it is, but if you guess it before we tell you, you can win an iPod touch!

It’s pretty simple and if you’re good at guessing things.. you might want to head over to their blog to get all of the clues and enter.

In the mean time, check back later for this fun adventure. I can’t wait to show you what we have planned for this person. Very fun!

Ask iJ #8! Yay! I shot this at like 3am last night and was editing until 6am — if you think I look tired, you’re probably right :)

Anyways, if anyone knows anyone at Heinz, let me know!!! I’d love to go visit them before I leave Pittsburgh. Maybe I’ll just call them?! Eeek!

Easter time!

Posted at 2:56 am | 50 comments

There was no way that I was going to spend 10 hours making eggs like I did last year.. so, this year I only made a few :) Those are my sisters on the right.. and the other is my sisters friend, Andy. He made the one of me on the left haha.

My mom asked me what a “noob” was.

You should try this trick to someone.. have them try to squeeze a hard boiled egg from end to end and see if they can break it! ..obviously, I had no luck!

Oh, and make sure you subscribe to my otherijustine youtube channel because that’s where I post all of these types of unedited videos! and, of course, subscribe to my main one too if you haven’t already! Yay! Thanks!

Urban easter egg hunt

Posted at 3:49 pm | 32 comments

Karen and I went around San Francisco and hid some Easter Eggs for people to find. I went around today to see if they were still there and nope.. all gone. Looks like they found some proper homes!

Hope you guys have a great Easter! This is one of my favorite holidays.

Also, I embeded this in HD, so if it’s running a little slow.. just click the HD button on the youtube player to turn it off and it’ll fix it right up. YouTube’s HD is pretty awesome — what do you think?

Likaholix

Posted at 2:11 pm | 21 comments

I started using this new site called likaholix the other day and it’s pretty cool. Basically it’s a “like aggregation” site to connect your with people who like similar things.

The appeal is the simplicity of liking something and finding out random things that your friends like, that you also like (or don’t like and then can make fun of them for liking)! Get it? Yeah!

The site is fairly simple to use. To add a like, you simply type whatever it is that you like in the “like box” and it’ll populate a list of things already liked for you to submit. If something isn’t in the database, it’ll present you with the option to add the information.

It also has a search tool that will allow you to find images from google and videos from youtube to make entries more appealing.

This site is still early and it’s invite only! …but, I have some invites if you’re interested in checking it out! You just need to use this link and it’ll take you there to sign up if you haven’t already. Can’t wait to see your likes!

Tweetstats

Posted at 4:27 pm | 37 comments

Ever wonder what your tweeting statistics are? Well, this appropriately named site, tweetstats will give you just that. From your average number of daily tweets to even your preferred method of tweeting… and all you have to do is just enter your user name!

How many tweets do you average daily? I’m a 7.5 a day twitterer!

Another cool thing is that you can click the tweet cloud option and see what words you use most frequently in your tweets. If you don’t like the colors of their tag cloud, you can click over to wordle, it’ll transfer your words and you can make it prettier!

In tweet cloud tab, it also lets you know how many twooshes you had. (Yeah, a twoosh.. really, who comes up with these words?!??) A twoosh is a 140-character tweet and I’ve had 54 of them. Interesting.

Share your stats with us in the comments!

**Update: There might be some wait time while tweetstats imports your tweets and gives you the results.
