FLORIDA
Desiree and I are heading to FL for the next week or so for vacation, work, and to shoot some awesome videos. You kids stay tuned, because they will be pretty great.
..at least the ideas we've randomy shouted to eachother from our rooms seem promising.
I'll update at the airport, of course. I still need to pack and as of now, my suitcase will again be over the limit. I always promise the airport checkin peeps I won't do it again.

XTRAIN
I'm now hosting Nightline on ABC since my few second debut..
HA HA HA just kidding.
..but, this Thursday and Friday I did spend in Dallas, Texas filming a show for xTrain called 60 Second Guru.
Now, normally the show would be a tutorial teaching you something in 60 seconds. The topics that I chose were Online Video Editing, MySpace Popularity, Blogging Tips, and Creating Viral Videos. Basically these were shot in the style of videos that most people are used to seeing that Dez and I would typically create. This includes: running around the street doing parkour, dancing on the desk, mock myspace mirror shots, and even falling in random places.
The studio that we shot at was amazing! It's called Splash Media. Here's a video directly from YouTube about xTrain and Splash Media about their partnership:
Splash Media operates one of the most technologically advanced television studios in the world. We combine the best systems available with solid engineering and top-notch graphics. Since its launch in 2005, TSTN has received international acclaim for its content as well as its look, but the most common question asked by visitors is, “Where’s the studio?” TSTN programs are produced by only five or six people in the control room. Even more astounding is the number of crew on the floor in the studio: zero. Computer-guided cameras are all controlled by one person. The studio is a bluescreen room, and virtual reality sets are keyed into the final video feed. Camera moves are monitored by the virtual reality servers, where minute adjustments to the set give the studio depth. The final effect is flawless.
Splash Media reinvents television technology
Moving right along with my media from the filming.. On the topic of "Creating Viral Videos", I mentioned that the "quickest and most painless way to create a viral video, is to make a video blog". Thus, here is my mockery of a typical video post you'd find on YouTube:
Last but not least, here's my version of the SplashMedia tour.
(Most of this footage was filmed 5 minutes before I ran out of the studio to catch my flight)

MACWORLD AND JUMPCUT
Going backwards through my day, since I like to post photos first.. I had dinner with Karen, Ashot, and Steve from Jumpcut tonight. They are just as awesome as their videos (and that's pretty awesome).
Today has been pretty crazy busy. Since I didn't sleep at all last night, my morning was pretty much a blur. While at the Pittsburgh Airport, I got some breakfast and a huge coffee that I so desperately needed. After finishing my breakfast and poking around at the internet on my phone, I accidentally knocked over the entire coffee right into my lap. Brilliant. I spent the next 45 minutes trying to find somewhere that sold some stain remover and almost missed my flight.
I slept the entire trip to Vegas. I don't even remember the takeoff. I believe I fell asleep before that even happened. Falling asleep makes it sound so peaceful. Passing out or near death nap is more like it.
Tomorrow I'll be at Macworld hunting down some great Mac accessories to review for MacBreak. Mmm tasty accessories.

SLEEPY
It's 7a and I haven't slept yet. I made it back from NY to my house around 5p yesterday and up until now I've been trying to catch up on the last week or so. I still hadn't completly unpacked from the last trip to New York and that was in the middle of December.
Now I'm just tired and need some coffee.
My flight is at 10:50a. My thoughts were that I'd be able to sleep on the flight there so let's hope that holds true.
Time to finish packing and awake Desiree to take me to the airport.

MAC WORLD AND NY
Still in New York and I only get cell reception randomly throughout the ski lodge. There's a small section of the kitchen table that I'll actually be able to send photos without an error. Its so warm here that skiing was never even an option. Its basically 60 degrees and raining. Mud fest dot com.
We're coming back Sunday and then Monday I'll be flying out to San Fran to attend Mac World. I've wanted to go since I came out of my mom, so this is pretty exciting.
In other news, I was really worried that I lost my wallet but Desiree informed me that it was in a dark corner under a pile of clothes in my room. That would have caused some issues at the airport. Considering I think that I also lost my birth certificate.. lol
Ah, oh well... I'm going to bed!

LEAVING
I'm going to NY to ski (aka, hang out because I can't ski and there isnt any snow) until Sunday! The bad news is, I forgot my Macbook powercord. Seriously. I'm crying right now.
Anyways, I will be mobile blogging via Vox : http://ijustine.vox.com
I'll also be attempting to update at Tasty Blog Snack as well, but seeing as how I just reset that up, I haven't checked to see if my mobile settings are correct.
Last but not least, if you're on Groovr I'll also be updating there the most! If you're not on Groovr, then what are you waiting for?
