I’ve always wanted to make a fun little interactive on youtube but never had the patience. Karen and I decided to make one this year for Halloween!

Big thanks to everyone who helped make this video possible even on my last minute notice of needing some clips! Be sure to check out all of the videos on the map and everyone’s youtube channel who participated:

Karen for co-hosting helping shoot and brainstorm the video!
Shanedawson for being a busy little bee and still making a video for me!
Shaycarl and Kassemg for their sexy fight in the kitchen video!
Denisevlogs for giving us bacon in our treatbags!
Charles and Ali for filming something even though they were in the process of moving!
What The Buck for a totally awesome last minute clip!

Let me know what you think of the video! I’m also going to try to make another video after halloween of some of the response videos that you guys make of us coming to YOUR house! Be sure to leave that on the first video of the series.

Some of you guys might have noticed the new twitter lists feature recently implemented on your twitter profile! This allows you to create your own lists of twitter users.

What do you think about this new feature! Leave a comment after you try it out :)

**NOTE: They are still rolling out this feature to everyone so keep a look out! **

It’s pretty simple to make a list — here’s how:

#1 Click create new list! A dialog box will pop up asking you for a name and if you want the list to be public or private.

#2 Find people for your list! For example, I created a list for people who work on the Law and Order SVU show. Testing it out here on Neal Baer, you go to the persons twitter page who you want to add.. then click on the little list icon to put them in the desired list!

#3 Enjoy your new list! If you’ve made your list public, other people are free to follow your list of people you’ve created. This adds a new dimension to twitter allowing people to publicly or privately categorize their followers.

Try one and feel free to test it out by adding me to a random list — See, told ya it was easy!

Another cool little feature on the twitter lists is that you’re able to see people who have listed you! It’s fun seeing what random categories people decide to put you into.

** Update: I posted this before but everyone yelled at me because they didn’t have it and I felt bad. Now, it’s slowly being available to more and more people. **

iJustine on SVU

Oh wow, here’s a preview of the Law and Order SVU episode airing this Wednesday November 4th at 9p on NBC! The title of the episode is Users.

So.. yeah, I obviously die. I’m not sure what it is, but everyone seems to like to kill me off! Black 20, The Station and now Law and Order! What do you think of the episode so far?

I’ll be posting one more behind the scenes video right before this episode airs.

My best dance ever

Posted at 11:12 pm | 35 comments

It’s rare that I’ll feel embarrassed.. but right before I started shooting this I got all nervous because I was all by myself.. The last two dancing videos I did, I had some moral support from a friend and my sister! It’s much easier to be a dancing fool with at least one person on your side.

..but this one, I was all alone. Once I started dancing though it was all good :)

Now, the worst part about this is that I did in fact get yelled at. The dancing in the middle of the store and distracting customers upset the manager. Obviously, with good reason. I will be sure to tone down my dances from now on as to not upset anyone.

If I get permanently banned from the Apple Store.. my life will be over.

UPDATE:

Okay this video was posted in the comments and wanted to share — this is an intense Apple Store dance! It is my new dream to do a synchronized dance like this. Obviously, in the terrible style of my dancing :)

Blogging from the air

Flying sucks.. It really does. But it’s the small things like wifi and photobooth that make these otherwise long and boring flights that much more fun.

For those who have already been asking questions about airlines with wifi, Virgin America has all of their planes currently equipped, American Airlines has most, and Southwest is currently testing it out on a few planes.

I also did a little google search to see if anyone else has plans and it looks like United has just started testing it out on CA-NY flights! Most of them are using Aircell’s gogo service. It rocks.

Thankfully, if this flight wouldn’t have had wifi.. I would have had some serious Farmville crop damage. I planted strawberries before I left the house! Ah!

Have any of you tested out wifi on a flight yet? What was your experience?

So I went to a MySpace secret show lastnight with Weezer! Obviously, it wasn’t THAT much of a secret! It was pretty awesome show. They played a short set but it was pretty cool to see them in such a small little club.

Kevin Rose was also there and a bunch of you guys told me on twitter to go get a picture with him.. I creepily lurked before getting one :)

The show was fun.. and yes, myspace is still around! lol

Here’s a new askij episode! It’s been a few since I’ve posted one and for this episode I decided to add a dailybooth segment. I’ve been having so much fun on this website recently and love the instant interactivity.

I showed clips of two different videos in this episode and here they are in all their youtube glory!

My dearest sister, Jenna Ezarik (check it out — I bought her a domain the other day and am blogging for her lol) and I went to visit Eat n Park.. this is a little video from that trip. Have you ever tried to catch a grilled cheese sandwich in your mouth!?

This video is from 2006 — I have a few secret talents and falling is one of them. What do ya think? If video blogging doesn’t work out.. I can always be someone’s stunt double.

Too much farmville

Posted at 6:51 pm | 53 comments

This is when you know you’ve been playing too much Farmville — my sister and I send pictures of real life things that remind us of things in the game!

If you don’t know what Farmville is.. I’d say it’s safe to assume we aren’t facebook friends. lol

Blue microphones party

Posted at 12:09 pm | 7 comments

Last night I went to a fun event at the Gibson Showroom in Beverly Hills. I’ve never been there before, but it was awesome!

As a once upon a time guitar player, it was pretty amazing to visit and see tons of guitars just hanging out on the wall wanting to be played.

This event was to celebrate new microphones by Blue! The new eyeball 2.0 which is a built-in webcam inside the microphone, new colors for the snowball mic and the new Yeti (not out until December) which is pictured above. I’m excited because I’ve been using Blue Mics for the past few years on most of my videos and can’t wait to get an updated one!

Some bands rocked out: The 88, Hey Champ and Kevin Rudolph

Also got to see a friend I haven’t seen in years — fellow Pittsburgher Alex! Check out his band Brave Citizens too!

All of those fun concert photos were taken in a little photobooth set they had set up. It was pretty cool — Definitely need one of these in my house.

I’ll keep ya guys posted when the new mics come out! I’ve always said that audio is more important sometimes than the video quality. As you can tell in most of my videos, I shoot with my built-in iSight but always make sure the audio is clear.

Ooooh I went to back to school! My sister thought this would be a good idea.. what do you think?
