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.)
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!
