I made this video with inspiration from a women ordering her breakfast sandwich from the airport Burger King. She proceeded to change her order 50 million times holding up a very hungry long line of people who were also waiting to order.

While everyone else was getting angry, I knew I had to make this video.

I’m sure you’ve seen someone do something similar — feel free to leave a comment with your experience.

Meet Henry!!!

Meet little Henry. He lives at the Roger Smith Hotel — they let me take him for a walk but it was more than just a walk! It was an adventure! We went to the Apple Store!!!! Here’s the video we made in the store.

So.. I had started making this as an askij episode, but it turned out not to really be on at all. I think I will start making these types of ’shows’ iJ on location.. instead of just a segment of askij… get it? Got it! You guys keep yelling at me because it’s not like the other episodes!

Anyways, they’ve officially got a date for this episode.. it’s on Nov 11th, at 9p on NBC!

Soooooooooooo (I have a bad habit of starting out my videos like that so I figured I’d start my blog entry out that way too) — Yesterday I went up to visit the Law and Order set for a fitting since we’re shooting today!

I actually had no idea where I was going.. but I hopped into a big van with some strangers and we were on our way to the set in Jersey. I’ll be filming a lot more stuff in the upcoming week so I’ll keep ya posted on what’s going on.

Lots of you have been asking what episode I’ll be in. It’s #8 titled “Users” — Now, when you watch it in a month or so.. please remember I’m not being myself in this! lol.. that’s all I’ll say for now.

Thanks for watching!

iPhone app addiction

Posted at 12:13 pm | 40 comments

The first step of recovery is admitting you have a problem. I have one and it’s an addition to iPhone apps. I did a google search for iPhone app addition to see what I could find.. and this comic showed up. So funny! joyoftech always provides some amazing geek humor to the internet world.

I cannot get enough of the cheesy time management / strategy games. Lately, these are what have been taking up all of my time:

Cooking Dash $2.99 — Cook up food and serve it to your customers over the course of 5 different restaurants. (I just beat this so I had to download Wedding Dash and Diner Dash that are very similar in game play)

Farm Frenzy $0.99 — In this addicting little game you are in charge of a farm where you take care of your animals and complete certain tasks.. like gathering a number of eggs or wool! I swear it’ll waste too much of your time.

Ranch Rush $0.99 — This is a fun little game that is very similar to Farm Frenzy but with much better graphics. You have to take care of your produce and harvest it for your customers. So addicting.

If you wanna test these out.. there are lite versions of all of them! Can’t hurt to get them when they’re freeeeeeeee!! Weee!! Any other games that you guys have been playing that are similar to this type of game play? Let me know so I can get them!

Hi hi hi hi! I’m so excited to be able to share this with you! A few months ago I sat down with Jonathan Wander @JMwander and we talked about pretty much everything for this article in Pittsburgh Magazine. He did an amazing job of grasping my little internet world and putting it into words. I’d love for you guys to check it out!!!

** UPDATE** Links are now fixed! You guys did a bit too much clicking yesterday and broke their server :) Try these ones for now. Thanks for all your support! You guys rock.

• Full article that’s in the magazine can be read here
• Extra pictures, fan interviews and behind the scenes video here
• Want to buy a copy? Do that here :)

I hope you guys enjoy checking it out. I had a great time shooting all of the fun Heinz photos with the amazing photographer Laura Petrilla @misslphoto. She had a great eye for capturing all the ketchup goodness. Also, another big thanks to Alex @awander who took tons of behind the scenes footage for the video! So fun!

Let me know what you think of the article and thanks again for being awesome! xo

Halloween video

Posted at 8:22 pm | 17 comments

Today Karen and I shot an awesome video for Halloween (she was even sick today but I made her come out and make a video)! It’s going to be a sweet interactive video on youtube. So.. yeah, get ready for that :)

Hello, iPhone — welcome to 2009. Everyone else in the world has been able to send pictures since 1990. Thank you for joining the rest of us.

Anyways, this isn’t meant to be a rant because I do love my iPhone and there isn’t enough time for me to really write how I feel.. but really, this nonsense should have been out in the first or second release.

The update just takes seconds to update the carrier settings and boom! You’re on your way to a photo sending party!

140tc celebrity panel

Posted at 6:00 pm | 14 comments

As some of you might know, there is a twitter conference going on right now! Yesterday I got a chance to sit on the “celebrity panel” with Tony Hawk, Dr. Drew, Jason Mayhem Miller, Levar Burton, and Tyrese.

It was so much fun and I was very excited to meet Tony Hawk because my sister and I used to play all of his skateboarding games when I was younger. Come on.. you know you play them too!!

It was a really fun panel because I’m coming from a completely different perspective than most of them. I’m just a little internet person, and they are from the big TV world. I was very honored to be included in this great discussion. Hopefully it’ll be online somewhere and I’ll link you guys!

Also, yesterday.. Pee Wee Herman was here. Seriously, I kid you not! He sent his first tweet from the stage.

[ stole all of these photos without permission from dcortesi's flickr stream lol -- visit him for more photos from the conference being uploaded from an eye-fi ]
