Arizona Here I Come! Road Trip Starts in the A.M.

Connecticut to Arizona Map




The countdown has almost hit the end. In about 12 hours I will start my journey cross country to the land they call Tempe, Arizona. The drive is a very long one. I should know, I’ve done the cross country thing 2 times already. The first 2 times I did the trip I had someone else in the car though. For this trip however I am going totally solo.
The trip from Connecticut to Arizona is around 2550 miles long. A few of the key places I will be passing through are Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Tulsa, Amarillo, and also Albuquerque. For this drive I plan on stopping a lot. Not to sleep but to browse around a few towns and of course there are those great roadside attractions in the middle of the country that are always interesting. One thing I will defiantly be doing is taking a lot of video. I’m going to try and capture as much of the trip as possible. During the night when I am at motels I will also try to broadcast with my webcam on Justin.tv. Of course I can’t promise that I will be able to broadcast. It all depends on if the motel/hotel has wifi. All together it should be a fun trip and I hope to share as much of it with all of you. Car is gassed up and ready to go! So lets go!

Justin.tv in the Papers Again

Justin.tv in New York Times and Wall Street Journal for Lifecasting

Justin and the crew are in the papers again. This time they make it into the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times. In the NY Times article they touch on some of the statistics for Justin.tv after they opened it up to everyone.

Justin.tv formally declared that it was open for business to one and all. In its first five days, the company said, it created 18,500 hours of video and pulled in 500,000 unique visitors.

also we hear from someone who we rarely hear anything from. Stewart Alsop, from the venture capital firm Alsop Louie Partners who are one of the firms investing in Justin.tv.

“If there are 6 billion people in the world,” he said, “imagine one million people broadcasting live, 999,000 of whom are boring — but the other 1,000 are really interesting. - Stewart Alsop

Here are the full articles to check out. JTV continues to get positive press. Hopefully Justin and Justine will be able to get on a TV show together sometime.
