Julie's Journal

I thought I would do a quick update on my Blip.fm experience. Since the last time I asked the question, Do My Blip.fm Twitters Annoy You? I have found a way to stop each and every Blip from posting to Twitter. All you do is add a exclamation (!) point to the front of each Blip, and they won’t post to your Twitter account.

Last night was the Intel party at The Sportsbook Bar and Grill inside The Palazzo. It’s such a beautiful hotel, and the venue was a great place to throw a party at.

I got to see all my Zappos friends again, and I met some new people along the way. (I think I’ve added all of you to my Twitter account. If not add me, and I will follow you back @JustJulie

Of course I had to tag along to the after party at Lavo and that’s where things got really interesting. I danced my ass off all night, and my feet are killing me today. I should have been gelling. Were you gelling?

Here are my pictures with MC Hammer and you can go here to see the rest of my pictures from the Intel party- CES09.

And there won’t be snow in “Henderson” (Nevada) this Christmas time…The greatest gift they’ll get this year is life…

Band Aid were a British and Irish charity supergroup, founded in 1984 by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure in order to raise money for famine relief in Ethiopia by releasing the record “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” for the Christmas market.

Every Christmas, the video Do They Know It’s Christmas Time this is the most played holiday song in my house. I just love the song and everything it stands for.

I’ll give you bonus points for naming the 80′s stars in this video in my comments, and super duper bonus points for naming my favorite artist in the line up.

*Hint: he’s Irish and was born with the name of Paul David Hewson on May 10th 1960.*

So what’s the greatest invention since the PS3 gaming system you ask? Oh you didn’t ask me? Like that will stop me from telling you! My mom didn’t get my 6th grade report card that said “Julie needs a muzzle” for nothing! I have a reputation to uphold; and I need to scan that for a blog post!

Almost every.single.night when I’m done with the working side of the internet I spend my time on Blip.fm searching for great songs, finding other DJ’s, and propping songs. It’s an addiction and I can’t stop it.

To some people the constant Twitter messages that pop up with every song I play seems to be a big annoyance. Since they don’t stop following me (LOL) I finally figured out how to play a song without it sending it to my Twitter! I can just hear you people cheering all the way over here. You know who you are. Love you girls. *SMOOCH*

My son Justin might not be into futures trading when he gets older, but he’s one hell of a video editing punk, and that would be a fun and exciting career.

While he was putting the finishing touches on a video I made earlier today I was poking around his YouTube channel looking at his videos. He gathers up raw footage on all the skaters websites, adds music to them, slow motions them, makes the skaters seem like they are skating to the music, and whatever else it is that you do while video editing. He calls this a montage. All this stuff is way over my head, but he really enjoys it, so I must nurture it, right?

I really like the outcome, plus he has GREAT taste in music.
