twitter-game-ijohn-wordy-birdie

As you can tell, I love blogging about twitter and anything to do with it! I just stumbled across a new twitter game called Wordy Birdie. You get to pick 10 words that you think people you follow will use in an update and earn points when they do! You don’t have to create an account, just follow @wordybirdie, sign up with your twitter username at Wordy Birdie, and start earning points! You will be direct messaged each day with your current points.

Right now, none of my friends have started playing. So start playing with me!

And I’m not giving you my 10 words I predicted :)

I cannot be anymore excited as I am right now. When I immediately saw the news on popping up on the net about the iPhone 1.1.4 update, I plugged my phone into the computer and started updating. Unfortunately, Apple says it is only “Bug Fixes”. Yet, no one really knows what that means.

A lot of speculation is going around about Starbucks closing for 3 hours tonight for their “Barista re-education training” and now the new 1.1.4 iPhone update. Will we be able to order our drinks from our iPhone at Starbucks with the new SDK? That would be really sweeet!

Okay, I can’t handle it anymore! SDK WHERE ARE YOU?!

Prius on Twitter

Everyone knows I am in love with my Prius and Twitter! Why not put both of them together?!

I follow the word Prius on Twitter to see what people in the Twitterverse are saying. I always get some funny tweets from people mad at Prius drivers to people riding in a Prius and wanting to buy one right after their first ride. This tweet I got the other day is pretty funny!

Any of you Prius drivers have anything to say about it? Or any Prius haters?

Twitter Stats - iJohn TwitterStats.com

For all you twitteraholics out there and curious about your twitter stats, I found this awesome website that will generate your stats from twitter! The graph above shows my updates from when I first started using it last May. Last month was the most active month for me. I wonder how February will end up!

TweetStats.com Graphs

Three more graphs which are pretty darn cool! Looks like I tweet the most around 11pm or 6pm, on Friday’s, and use texting to update the most!

Now go on over and see your own TweetStats.com, and let me know how your’s compare or are different!

I love you Twitter!!

Twitter Mr Ashley Persian Cat

This has been the best week of the new year so far for me! Our favorite Persian cat – Mr Ashley has now signed up for Twitter! Lilabrooke has finally accepted he is a star and allowed him to sign up for an account! You can now follow him @MrAshley – http://www.twitter.com/MrAshley

Now guys we are on the right track! Our next step is to get Lilabrooke to allow him to have his own JTV Channel! Make sure you sign the Mr Ashley Petition!

Iphone January Texting

January was another busy month for my fingers and iPhone! I think he wants a little break in February, although I don’t think I am going to let him rest!

The biggest disappointment of last month was that he wouldn’t let me send 6 more texts to make an even 11,000!

Starbucks Zen

Green Tea is awesome! It tastes great and it is excellent for you! I got hooked on the Starbucks Iced Green Tea with Classic Syrup. Now, I am a certified Barista at home to make the same great tea! Let’s take a look and see what you need!

  1. Mr Coffee Iced Tea Maker – $20.00 from your local Walmart or Target
  2. Zen Tazo Green Tea Bags – $4 for 20 bags from Starbucks or local grocery store
  3. 7 Zen Green Tags – For a full pitcher of Green Tea
  4. Margarita Shaker – $10
  5. Classic Syrup Liter Bottle from Starbucks – $7 from your local Starbucks Store
  6. Pump – eBay $3 or ask your local Starbucks if they have any extra. They probably will give one you to you!
  7. The final product of a wonderful Iced Zen Green Tea Pitcher!

Now making the tea is a very simple process! Use 7 bags of Zen Green Tea, fill up the Iced Tea Machine with water, fill up the pitcher with ice, and start brewing the tea!

After the tea is finished brewing, use 7 pumps of Starbucks classic syrup into Margarita shaker along with filling it up with Green Tea. Now shake up the tea and syrup! Yes, you can do a little shaking dance! Makes it a little more fun!

After your done shaking it – Congrats! You now have Iced Green Tea with Classic Syrup! The exact same thing you get at your local Starbucks!

Now go start brewing some tea!! Your body is wanting the antioxidants!
