Looks Like I am going bald! I hope not. Wish me luck tomorrow at the doctor! I have to get my blood drawn!

Thanks to everyone who has donated hair to me on Daily Booth

Well it appears that this awesome new website is going to be the next big thing. I joined yesterday and thought it was amazing, but little did I know that within a few hours Michael Buckley, Shay Carl, and many others would be signing up. Not only are they on there, but Fred is too!

This site is a very unique one. I haven’t heard of anything like it before. It’s like a Twitter but with pictures. You can carry on conversations in pictures, and post new pictures everyday to the site.

Ok well this blog post is bad, but like the site is so awesome so I need to go and take some more pictures. Go follow me here! Enjoy .

This week’s website(s) of the week is big time based on Twitter.  So, if you don’t have a Twitter account, go get one and follow me! This week’s website  is twtapps. Their website consists of 7 Twitter applications.

1. twtpoll

twtpoll is a really cool application for Twitter that allows you to make Twitter Polls. You can embed the poll on your website/blog/myspace/facebook.

2. twtvite

twtvite is an application that allows you to plan events on Twitter. You can chose where and when the event will be as well as manage RSVPs.

3. twtTRIP

twtTRIP is yet another application for Twitter. This one is my favorite because it allows you to put your travel plans so that you can meet other tweeple in the same area!

4. twtQpon

This one is very creative. It lets you create coupons for your company to use on Twitter. Very inavative!

5. twtwlst

twtwlst lets you  make a wish list for Twitter! You can tell what the occasion is and what you want!

6. twtcard

twtcard is an e-card generator for Twitter! Neato!

7. twtpets

I’m not really sure what the point of this one is, but it’s for all you animal/pet lovers so check it out!

So today was my birthday! It was awesome! I want to thank everyone in this  little birthday collab video, Laura Ashley, Leia, Caleb, Keegan, Arnaud, Tyler Hamway, Greg, and of course Carrie! And it was edited by none other than our very own Magical Matthew. I also want to thank everyone in the Magic’s Webpage video (2nd), Brian, Chris, Ryan and Clifton.

Thanks guys! More to come on my birthday this weekend!

Attention FLY 104.9 listeners! Starting Feb. 9th 2009, I will be on air every Monday – Friday from 3:oo – 7:00 pm est. Yay for afternoon shifts! This also means I will no longer be on during the weekends! Bye bye weekend show! The last weekend show will be Saturday February 7th (2 days after my birthday cough cough.*)

So, I will need some help from you guys. Because I will need your guys’ help! I will be trying to broadcast on Justin.tv before I record my show each day. If you guys know any cool news I should talk about you should let me know then! Of course you can always use the contact form in the menu to send me ideas any time.

Thanks to everyone who supports me and the crazy things I do… maybe I will go somewhere one day!

The Super Bowl was a lot of fun this year. Many of you know I am NOT a big sports fan, but this is the time every year that I actually tune in to watch a football game on TV.

Well my favorite part of the football game is of course, THE COMMERCIALS BABY! One of my newest favorite websites is Hulu.com and this year they are putting all the Super Bowl ads on Hulu! Below are my favorite ads starting with my MOST favorite and then my least favorite.

Congrats Stealers. Too bad the Cardinals didn’t win!

#1. I had to chose this because I LOVE Conan O’Brien!

#2. Gotta love Mr. Potato Head!

#3. Gotta love the pain! Pain = fun!

#4. Always love E-Trade’s talking babies!

And I always love how Coca-Cola comes out with something VERY original every year, watch it here.

Biggest FAILED commercial: Vizio.

Oh and I can’t WAIT to see this:

Vote for your favorite Super Bowl commercials here. Also post in the comments what you thought of the game and what your favorite commercials were.

This week’s Website Of The Week is the SomethingStore.com. A few months ago Magic Matt introduced me to this site, and I thought “wow this is the stupidest thing I have ever seen in my life”. Well a few months later I went back and thought differently.

In my opinion, this is one of the coolest stores out there. I’m sure you are wondering though, “what the heck is it?” Well this store is unlike any other store you have ever heard of. You pay $10 and you are sent a completely random item in the mail. Now you’re probably thinking “well that’s dumb what if you get ripped off,” well you won’t. There are many things that the Something Store will not send you, including adult goods/services, alcohol, body parts, offensive goods, and many other inappropriate ‘somethings’. You can get a full list of what they will not give you here. They have given out many awesome ‘somethings’ such as Bluetooth headsets, AA battery chargers, iTunes gift cards, make up kits, video games, webcams, watches, and more. You can see a list of the last 100 ‘somethings’ sent in the last 25 days here.

And yes, I have bought from the Something Store. They were great. I got my something in the mail about 1 week after ordering, and my something was very nice. I got a nice pair of gloves (pictured below.)

I was pleased with my something and with the service. Hope you enjoy the Something Store! www.somethingstore.com

In my last blog entree I was talking about my ‘roomcast’. Well, the other night I had a little fun watching a scary movie called “What Lies Beneath.” A few people in the chat also watched the movie at the same time as I did. Well, I think my chatroom had fun watching my reactions to the movie. Justin.tv has a great feature that records your broadcasts and allows the viewers to make clips of their favorite parts. Summerbreeze made this funny clip of me freaking out to one of the scary parts of the movie.

Also the lovely screen shot at the top of this blog post was taken by kg_loves_k2. So, this is why I broadcast my life when I am at home. Some pretty interesting things happen! Check out my Justin.tv channel here.

Secondly, I have created a new YouTube channel for random stuff I upload such as Justin.tv clips and video blogs (vlogs.) If you know of anything I need to upload to the account let me know! http://youtube.com/apvlog

If you are into writing, I am looking for people who are interested in writing blog posts on AustinPrimeOnline.com about celebrity news, music news, world news, internet news, stuff involving me, or anything else that may be interesting to teens. There are currently no rewards for blogging on my site. If you are interested please use my contact form.

Lastly, it seems to me that some people are confused by the banner competition. The banners being made are for my Justin.tv channel. They are all due February 5th. Thanks for your contributions!

On Sunday, January 19th, 2009, the Jonas Brothers did a live broadcast on Justin.tv. I was selected, as well as a few Justin.tv community members, by the Justin.tv Community Manager, Tia Marie, to help moderate the chatroom. Some of you may have seen me, some of you may not have seen me. I was mainly in the overflow rooms making sure everyone was behaving themselves. After the broadcast, I went live to see what everyone thought of their broadcast. From what I heard, many people believed that last years cast was more exciting because this year’s broadcast seemed to be based on promoting their new 3-d movie.

Even though it may have not been what many of the Jonas Brother fans were expecting, I think that it was awesome for them to broadcast on Justin.tv, my favorite broadcasting site, rather than having their own system built for them.

This week Matt and I officially announced the return of the Austin Prime and Magic Matt show, formally seen on Stickam.com. We decided that the new show would be on Justin.tv rather than Stickam because Justin.tv’s quality and community are extremely higher and more friendly. We are still working on what days the show will be and what times they will be. We hope to have undiscovered artists, website owners, actors, etc. on the show. We will also be making signs at the end of our shows for our viewers!

Lastly, I  am now broadcasting my bedroom whenever I am in it. Some of you may know Dylan Live who broadcasts his life wherever he goes 24/7. Well, unfortunately due to money constraints and my interests I will not be lifecasting my life, however I think broadcasting my room is exciting enough since I live in my room!

Anyway, be sure to check out my Justin.tv at http://justin.tv/austinprime.
