My comments on the past few days at JTV have been received with both positive and negative comments in the chat rooms, in the blog comments, in private messages, in email and on the air at JTV headquarters. I knew when I started posting [...]

JTV Directory Change

Blank
I did get out into the real world today and at the moment, have to say I am not feeling 100%. I am not sure if it was the meal I had at my friend’s house or if it’s simply exhaustion. Let me tell you about this meal:
Grilled Chicken
Grilled Rib Eye Steak
Sweet Potatoes [...]

A Brief Update With No Positive Feedback for JTV — None and a Note About Parental Controls

I posted before going to bed last night/this morning, but after tuning in a little while ago, I felt compelled to write this post. Be sure to read the one prior to see what went on yesterday as well. Lots of action on JTV with new channels launching — and nothing that’s making [...]

Lifecasting is Exhausting

I apologize, but I am not going to be able to break up this post with images today — the time has run away with me and I need to keep this short.
Need a Break
Again, I won’t say that being on Stickam is lifecasting — it’s really just video conferencing, but I am wiped [...]

Obsessed? Perhaps, but I Ain’t Scared! and a Blog Milestone!

Well, Maybe a Little Scared

I did some catering when Gorbachev was in town in 1990 and yes, in 1998 I did vote for the Dukakis Bentsen ticket
I know! I know! I could not help myself!  I wasn’t going to post tonight, but here I am.  Just a few thoughts today though, [...]

Lifecasting — Like Crack on Camera

Addiction

That’s what JTV is to me — I think. I’ve never been addicted to drugs before, but I clearly have an addiction. But now, I have a new problem. It’s crazy really. First of all I need to talk about all things JTV, then we will get into my new (potential) [...]

So, This is How it’s Gonna Be?

NOTE: I just attempted to publish and was met with a bright yellow message that WordPress is down until 6:00am EDT for scheduled maintenance. I saw nothing abut scheduled maintenance! Arrgghh! I lost 1/2 of my readers yesterday because of the problems with the site and now this? GRRR!!!  [...]

Content vs. Availability, the Mad Ban-ers, and Confessions From an Obsessed Blogger-Chef

This was NOT what I wanted to see at 2:51am as I attempted to pusblish this post! WordPress.com Maintenance

What’s going on? WordPress.com is undergoing some unexpected maintenance. We’re working to get everything running again. Thanks for being patient.
Who said I was being patient?!

Linus and iJustine Go Head to Head and iJustine Hits the Road Again

And They’re Off!

As you can see from the image above, Melinus was in the number #1 spot today. It was like this most of the day while iJustine was busy winging her way to LA for her CNBC interview. I received a twitter from her this morning that made me curious. [...]

Delivering Difficult Messages and Bridging Culture Gaps in a Flattening World

Globalization

The crazy kitchen in my apartment in India — fully furnished, most decorations and art also furnished by the landlord
Globalization has become an everyday word and the world is flattening, according to Thomas Friedman (The World is Flat, A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century). With the evolution of technology, we are all becoming [...]

Linus Competes with iJustine and JTV Lifecaster Castes

In the News

This article about Linus hit the newspaper in Sweden yesterday and with it came increased volume for the Melinus channel. When I tuned in this morning, Linus was taking a phone call from a local radio station and I was told by Angincali that he had done at least one other radio [...]

I’m Not Talking About School Here

What I am referring to is more like a JTV caste system, a system of cliques, a self-imposed hierarchy of social classes which [...]

MOO Cards and A Round Robin Trip Around the Streams Looking for Something Interesting

MOO Cards

Have you read about these things? I haven’t seen anyone with them, but as usual, I didn’t want to be left out so I ordered a box with my own photos. It wasn’t expensive, was easy to order a set and it was fun to receive them. They come in a [...]

Travels

While I was en-route, Callie88 tracked my flight for Linus’ room — Thanks Callie!

Almost 48 hours away from the world of being a JTV viewer has given me some of my sanity back. Having made the commitment to not blog during the trip, I felt remarkably calm during what should have been and [...]
