Austin Prime's Blog

I’m super excited about the new design I have rolled out here on AustinPrimeOnline.com. If it reminds you of FaceBook, well good, that’s what it’s supposed to do! It has come to my attention that APO was difficult for some people to understand, so I decided Facebook seems to be super popular and everyone understands it, so why not use it as my site’s theme?!

With the new features I have temporarily removed all google ads because I was noticing some glitches that I needed to fix, so enjoy the ad free site for now! With the glitches, if you are subscribed to my RSS feed and have noticed any problems with this update, please let me know as soon as you can.

One of the new features I have released is a feature that I had on the old AustinPrimeOnline.com from about 6 months ago. This feature is the feature that allows you to leave video and or audio comments! Why post boring text comments when you can use your webcam or computer microphone to leave a comment? Way cool! You guys should test it out on this post!

I have also updated the Gravatar settings. So now when you post comments, an image is automatically generated by ‘wavatar.’ If you don’t like your image, you can change it by going to Gravatar.com and signing up with the email address you used here. This will make it easier to make conversation in the comments. Matching images makes things easier to follow.

I think that is it for now! If you have any further suggestions or notice anything wrong let me know in the contact form in the menu!

“48% of all children in Atlanta, in poverty, live in families with annual incomes of less than $15,000 a year.”

An event is being held in Alpharetta, Georgia to help bring awareness to the starvation problems in the area.

The event is called Dodge Hunger 2009 and it is a Dodge Ball competition and a lockin at the YMCA in Alpharetta, Georgia.

This is important to me, so be sure to check out DodgeHunger.com

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!

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.
