I need your help, and well it can help you too! Magic Matt recommended me to use this website called ‘Lockerz’ a long time ago and I thought it was lame.

Today I made a tweet asking someone to buy an iTouch for me and iProxy (Pete) told me to try our Lockerz because he had gotten a PSP using it.

So instead of begging all of you guys for money like I have in the past, I’m going to ask you to sign up to Lockerz. It’s an awesome site where you can win and get all kinds of prizes. Right now the site is only open to invites. You can’t sign up unless you’re invited.

Taking less than 5 minutes of your time can help me a lot. All you need to do to help,  is give me your email address in the form below and then sign up in the email you get from Lockerz. It’s a cool site and you will have full access to it once you get your invite! There is no catch, the site is legit. Please retweet this blog post, and tell your friends about signing up for Lockerz through me. Right now this is the only way you can become a member unless you know someone else who uses it.

[contact-form 2 "Untitled"] *Note, I hate spam as much as you do! You’re email address will only be used for the invite and will then be disposed.

Don’t understand? Check out this video:

Thanks so much guys!

Ripped little boyJust like any other day, I was checking the news for the most ridiculous stories and this one is JUST that.

A 5 year old, Giuliano Stro, is now listed in the Guinness Book of Records. He preformed the fastest ever 10m hand walk with a weight ball between his legs.

His father said that he took his son with him to the gym every time that he went ever since he was born. His father also says that he does not over work his son and when he gets tired of working out they go out and play.

What are your thoughts? Do you think his parrents are crazy and just trying to get fame? Or do you think that the kid really enjoys working out with his father? Post your comments in the comment section! :)

The movie 2012 is coming out soon and it’s about how the world is going to end in the year 2012. Seems like a depressing movie to me, but it looks like it’s going to be very good.

One of the best parts of the movie is going to be Adam Lambert’s new song! The song is called Time for Miracles and it’s written by my all time favorite artist, Lady Gaga!

Adam Lambert says “Gaga wrote the song a while ago and she thought it would be a good fit for me. It’s a solo track. I feel so honored and lucky to be asked.”

Below is a clip from the movie 2012 with Adam’s new song!

Does this movie remind you of The Day After Tomorrow in a way? Are you going to see this movie? Post your comments below!

I’ve been using Digsby for almost a year now as my IM/Social Networking client.

Disby allows you to sign on AIM, MSN, ICQ, Google Talk, Jabber, and Facebook all in one nice clean program. You can also check your Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo Mail, AOL/AIM Mail, IMAP, and POP accounts using Digsby.

One of my personal favorite features is the social networking featyres. I don’t use it so much for Twitter, but you can use Digsby to see Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, and LinkedIN updates.

See how often I used Digsby: http://wakoopa.com/AustinPrime

Anyway, this is my first time ever promoting something you can download! I hope you like my Digsby pick. Also, please post in the comments what you think about Digsby! :)

Short URLs are necessary nowadays with Twitter and Facebook status limits. I’m sure you guys all know about Bit.ly, TinyUrl, Tr.im and all of the other URL shortening sites, but have you heard of MultiURL.com?

MultiURL

MultiURL not only shortens your URL, but it allows you to have multiple sites in one link. You may be thinking to yourself, “How does that work?” Well, you go to the website and you fill out a form with a title and link to all of your multiurls. Then the MultiURL makes 3 ways to share your link. You can make it so that it opens a random page, a list of the links, or a top bar. I’ve made an example with various sites about me. Check mine out, and start using MultiURL.com today! :)

Today is Blog Action Day where thousands of blogs across the ‘interwebs’ are coming together and discussing one topic, Climate Change.

Global Warming

Now many of us have different beliefs on whether or not Global Warming is a real concept. I myself am not personally convinced that the global climate change is human’s fault. However there IS scientific proof that there are changes in our climate.

There are a few things we can do. We can either keep whining about how ‘climate changes are not real,’ or we can actually face facts and read the scientific evidence and work to make a difference. I’m sure I’m going to have a lot of readers that highly disagree with me, and some that agree with me. I really would love to see your comments on what your thoughts are on climate change. I also want to know if you guys have any suggestions on how we can make it stop!

Please share this story by pressing the retweet button on the top right or by using one of the social networks buttons at the bottom. Thanks so much for your support of AustinPri.me! :)



I do request one thing, please keep the comments clean and on topic. Thanks.

AustinPrimeOnline.com is NO MORE! You can still go to AustinPrimeOnline.com, however AustinPri.me is my new brand.

With a new domain name, there must be a new logo. The old Austin Prime Online text at the top of the site was getting old and bland. It was two lines, so I changed it to Austin Prime to make it only one line. Well, now with the new brand name I designed a very simple logo to do away with the text header. (Tweaks may be made to the logo over the next few days.)



Changes you may/may not notice; I did away with the bottom bar on the site and added a Follow me button on the right of the site. I also added a social media network sharing bar at the bottom of each blog post. (You should use it!) The forum also has been removed. I realize that this is the second time I’ve tried to get a forum running and it was a fail again.

Why did I change the name? Well because AustinPrimeOnline.com was a super long domain name and I was noticing many disadvantages on Twitter. Not only that but Austin Prime Online just sounds lame. Don’t you agree that AustinPri.me is a lot more clean?

Anyway this is probably one of my most poorly written blog posts. :) Just wanted to keep all my readers up to date! Thanks for the continued support!

Post your comments on what you think of the new changes. If you have any suggestions please post them in the comments!

Call me a dork, but I look forward to seeing the Google logos on holidays! Today is Columbus Day and I assumed that Google would have a Columbus Day Google logo. Well to my surprise, there was nothing. So I opened up Yahoo to see if they had anything and they had nothing, AOL, nothing, YouTube, nothing. Normally these search engines at least have some type of mention of a holiday on their logo.

Apparently not ALL of the search engines left out Columbus Day. Microsoft’s Bing.com is celebrating Columbus Day with an interactive front page with information about the holiday. I think it looks very nice and clean as always. I’m personally starting to grow fond of the informative and clean front page Bing.com presents.

In 2006, Ask.com had a Columbus Day themed front page, but Google has never recognized the holiday.

Do you think people just do not care about Columbus Day anymore? Is there too much controversy over the holiday? Or is this just not a worthy holiday of being discussed? Post your answers to these questions in the comments! :)
