Living proof that you can hit 120mph+ in New Jersey


Living proof that you can drive 120+mph in New Jersey. Some people on the internet thought that New Jersey was too crowded, but little do they no!!!

Very short clip, I know.



Update and Apologizing

My apologies goes out to everyone, again. I feel like I’ve said this in many videos but I truly mean it this time. I’m going to be getting back in the swing of things and making a lot more videos for everyone.

My next couple of videos will have to be me driving fast and a car tour. Look for those in the NEAR future.



Empire Avenue: The Social Media Exchange

Social Media is my most reliable source of “advertising”.  Heck, you probably even got to this actual blog post from one of my Social Media sites.  Now, when it actual comes to Stock Exchanges, I’m a bat with no wings.  Over the last year, I have gained some knowledge, but I’m still very slim with my knowledge.  Now, what if you combine the two together?  Social Media and Stock Exchange…what do you get?  Two words can answer that question, Empire Avenue.

I can easily sum up what Empire Avenue is by saying this:  Empire Avenue is a Social Media exchange based on how much of an influence a particular user has on popular sites such as Twitter and Facebook.  Basically, people invest in you and you invest in other people to earn Eaves.  Empire Avenue is a great way to see how much you are worth, virtually.  The more you use Social media (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc…) the more you are worth in Eaves to make an investment in.  This is a great way to learn a thing or two about trading.  Big names are even getting in on the action, such as Dell, Intel, and Ford.

I could honestly sit here all day telling you about Empire Avenue.  It’s that huge and it’s growing day by day.  I would like to encourage each and everyone of you to go sign up and start investing.  You might even realize you are larger than you thought.  Make sure you go invest in me!  My ticker is TECHJOHNSON.



Happy Mothers Day!

I just wanted to take the time out of my day to wish all those special mothers out there a Happy Mothers Day.  This is a day to give back to all the mothers who gave each and everyone of you life.  No matter your relationship with your mother, give her a call and tell her you love her and wish her a happy mothers day.  You will never know how much mothers love hearing that from their child!

Happy Mothers Day!



Osama Bin Laden is dead!

After nearly ten whole years of searching for Osama Bin Laden, they have finally found and killed this horrible man.

Osama Bin Laden was hunted as the mastermind behind the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil.  The president of the USA (President Obama) made a speech saying some of the follow:

The president called the killing of bin Laden the “most significant achievement to date” in the effort to defeat al Qaeda.

“Justice has been done,” Obama said.

Once the Americans took control of the body, they sent some of his DNA to get tested.  Testing has confirmed that this killing was indeed, Osama Bin Laden.

The bottom line is, Osama Bin Laden is finally dead and may rest in Hell.

What do you have to say about this?  Are you happy that he has been killed?  Do you think that al Qaeda will retaliate?  Sound off your questions and concerns in the comment field, below.

Would you pay $6,400 for a Toilet?

I know what you’re all thinking, “This is way out of the ordinary for my blog posts.” Yes, I will have to agree with that! All jokes aside though, would you pay for this Toilet? It’s a complete master piece in terms of the “throne.”

Just take a look at some of the features that this toilet has to offer:

  • Built-in music system
  • Ambient lighting
  • Heated seat
  • Foot warmer
  • Bidet attachment that’ll clean and dry your delicates
  • Motion detector lets you raise and lower the seat with a foot tap
  • Automatic flush varies in power level depending on how long you have been sitting down
  • Very quiet flush
  • Uses less water than your average toilet system
  • Many more…

Now, with all these fancy things that come with the toilet, would you buy it yet?  Let me try to change your mind.

Not only does it have all these amazing features, but you can control all of these with ONE touch screen pad.

Now, if I haven’t changed your mind just yet, then chances are probably slim.  I know that I would buy this toilet.  They say you need the best seat in the house!  Many people might want this toilet to come in pure gold, but this isn’t an option.  Sorry for all your shinny fanatics out there.

Currently, it’s not available yet.  You are going to have to wait until the end of this month to purchase your “high end” toilet.  If you are outside of the U.S. you will have to wait until fall of this year.

Final conclusion:  Amazing toilet and I would totally buy it.

How to fill a Zippo


In this video, I show you a step by step tutorial on how to fill your Zippo Lighter.
Always be safe when using a lighter, for any reason. Fire is very dangerous and can be considered a weapon.



Griffin Case Unboxing


NOTICE: Sorry for the low lighting and quiet audio. It’s at 2am and I didn’t want to wake my father that was sleeping across the hall.

This case was given to me to review by Griffin. I’m showing you a fast unboxing of a great case.



Tumi T Case Review


I’m bringing you another iPod Touch 2nd Generation case review. This case is called the “Tumi T Case”. It’s a black plastic case. I believe this is one of the better cases that I have ever used. It protects and does it’s job quiet well. If you are looking for a great case for your 2nd Generation iPod Touch, I would highly recommend this one.



Chilling


Hey everyone! Sorry that I haven’t posted a video for about a week. I have been busy with my work schedule and various other things. I’ll be starting to make videos again, I promise. My next video should be something about my iPod. Whether that be my case review or an app review, it will be good. Also, I’m happy to say that I will be receiving a product from Griffin to review for the month of February, so stay tuned for that unboxing and review.

5 Tips to Make Your Blog Posts More Appealing


The hardest part about starting and maintaining a blog is cultivating a readership. Once a visitor lands eyes on your Web site, you only have a matter of seconds to convince them to stay and read before they go on with their daily routine.

The most effective way of keeping a visitor attentive to your blog is by creating appealing content. I want to share five tips with you that I believe will get you on the road to achieving this goal.

5 Tips to Making Your Blog Posts More Appealing

  1. Check Your Spelling/Grammar — Proper spelling and grammar are essential to the foundation of anything worth writing — and reading. If your blog posts are hung up on a poor execution of basic English (or whatever language you’re using), they won’t flow smoothly, and you’ll lose readers.
  2. Write Captivating/Relevant Headlines — A catchy post title is more likely to attract positive attention than one that’s lackluster or irrelevant to the content that follows. Turn your perspective around — when you’re browsing through a long list of linked headlines on the Web, what captures your eye and compels you to click for more information?
  3. Maintain Focus — If you’ve already dreamt up a catchy headline for your entry, this may help you to keep in mind what it is that you’re setting out to write. Does the body of your writing support its title? Keep it simple and to the point. Don’t meander — if your attention is wandering while you’re writing, chances are that your reader’s attention is going to wander, as well. Don’t blur your message with unnecessary fluff. If you find that your clarity is vague, then your direction is clear: focus!
  4. Convey Main Points Clearly — Time is precious. Whether you like it or not, the majority of your readers will skim through your entries to pick out what’s important to them. With this in mind, highlight the main points that you’re trying to make in a way that’s memorable (a numbered list, such as this one, is just one method of accomplishing this goal).
  5. Be Yourself — Make sure that what you have to say is original. Bring something to the table. If you’re just parroting what everyone else on the Web is saying, then what’s going to keep readers coming back to see what you have to say? Shout about whatever it is that inspires you to shout — but make sure you’re shouting with your own voice!

It’s my hope that these five tips will help you to create a top notch blog. One last tip (take this as a bonus): have fun. It’s inevitable that writer’s block will sometimes step in to try and distract you from this aim and discourage you into letting your blog fall by the wayside. But your blog is ultimately your blog, so making it a positive experience — to write and to read — is up to you (by any means necessary)!



Pool Trick Shot


Being a proud owner of a full sized Pool Table, I like to take some time and play pool to kill some time. I don’t get to play very often, but when I do, I like to advance my skills. I’m not the greatest at pool, but I can play. I figured it was time to learn some simple trick shots so I looked this one up on Google. I figured I would try it. It’s very simple, but fun to show off to your friends. After many attempts on film, I finally caught the shot. It was pretty sketchy, but I still made it for you guys. After continuing my practice on this shot, I can finally say that I have mastered this shot!



iTunes Gift Card Unboxing


I am a long time Moderator on Zaps Technology Forum. I’m honored to be apart of a growing community which is forum based. In the last few months, we have come up with a new system. This system is called the ZRewards System. ZRewards is a fancy way of saying “Shop.” In our shop, we don’t actually take real money, we take ZDollars. How do you get ZDollars? ZDollars is acquired by posting new topics, replies, promoting, etc…

Topic: 2 ZD

Reply: 1 ZD

Promotion Links: 75 ZD

The list can go on, but I’ll keep it short and simple with the above listed. ZD is short for ZDollars. In our ZRewards store, you can purchase various items, one being a $15 iTunes Gift Card. I had enough for this purchase, so I went along and made it. I figured it would be good to have since I want to buy some applications to review for my iPod Touch on my YouTube channel.

In this video, I’m giving you guys a short unboxing of my iTunes Gift Card. I know, unboxing an iTunes Gift Card isn’t much, but it’s something entertaining. I hope you all enjoy!
