@DJSTEENENT TOP 40 VIDEO MIX

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/999 --- Suzie (Mom), Jackie (Sister), and Aaron (sis' boyfriend) were in the USA for the month of July. We did much exploring. This is us waiting for and riding on the train with NYC veterans Leah and Daniel. Weeeeee!

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/998 --- Every time Jan says "I'm going to bake", I think that she means the real thing. Unfortunately, this isn't the case. I know several people that play these games, and it's kind of frustrating. Game on. Recorded 29 August, 2011.

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/994 --- These two oversized syringes appeared on our table after dessert. We were instructed to put the tip in our mouth and push. I may die within the next few days. Tell my friends and family I love them. ;) Recorded: 1 July, 2011

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/993 After an adventurous day in Central Park, Holly and I met up with Taylor and Halie at Max Brenner in Union Square. This was just a snippet I recorded after we finished our amazing desserts.

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/986 --- Today I went on a river walk with Coley, Corey, and Matt. We walked along Bird Island Pier, but there was a barbed wire gate when we got to the Peace Bridge. Fortunately we're badasses, so we just climbed around the fence and continued on our way.

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/984 --- Today I... - Ate food. - Worked on Viddler, Sweet Adventures, and fixing a few Gowalla places. - Are more food. - Watched Jim Carrey on Inside the Actors Studio, Zach Galifianakis on SNL, The Office, Parks and Recreation, and 30 Rock. - Listened to The Ghost of Radio #006 and grooved along to "Pull Shapes" by the Pipettes.

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/983 --- When was the last time I (or anyone else) did a MeToday? Rob, Corey, and Leah have all done at least one in the past year or so. Today I woke up and got a bunch of work done. The folks at Viddler HQ were looking at the frolicking videos and enjoying them. It looks like most of the Viddler crew are going to be at HQ in May, so I'll be sure to create some rad frolicking videos then! I made/ate dinner and watched "Welcome to the Rileys" with Jan and Marty. I also had some ice cream for dessert. Nommers! I had a lovely shower and then watched S01E10 of The United States of Tara. Good show! You should check it out! There's the usual random babble between all that. Enjoy! Much love!

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/977 --- In 2008, my mom, sister, and I visited some relatives in Laguna, California. As we were heading back up to Hollywood I noticed this awesome playground — I had to stop and explore it. This is probably one of the coolest (and tallest) playgrounds I've ever had the opportunity to explore. I highly recommend you do the same if you're in Laguna. Blue Bird Park ~741 Cress Street Laguna, California 92651

Recorded 8th December, 2010 / Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/1024 --- After sledding and frolicking at Orchard Hill, I went out into the snow to take some photos of the Pine/Christmas tree outside. I took a bunch of HDRs which can be seen here: http://flickr.com/photos/djsteen/5356088971/lightbox Music: "Deep Blue Snow" by Al Phlipp and The Woo Team (http://kevinwillis.net/wooteam/index.html)

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/971 --- Jan introduced me to a place called Beep Bridge. I bet you can guess what goes on there... meep meep!

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/975 --- Jan and I went sledding at Orchard Hill while I was in Buffalo during December, 2010. She had some pretty rad sleds and we totally ripped up the snow!

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/970 --- When I was in Buffalo, NY, I made dessert nachos with Jan. It was her first time. Unlike previous times I've made it, I used a chocolate raspberry sauce/paste and melted it in the microwave. It wasn't quite the same as having separate chocolate and strawberry sauces, but it was still tasty.

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/969 --- Let's all go sledding off the back of this truck. Golly gosh!

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/966 --- Buddy, Elaine, Mitch, Rachel, and I went to The Woodlands Oktoberfest festival back in September. As far as I know this is the first time I've "celebrated" Oktoberfest. It was a German-y good time, but there really wasn't much to do beside eat.

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/964 --- In December, Jan took me to Niagara Falls. It was the first time I had visited Buffalo, NY. It was a glorious sight covered in snow and ice. I must admit that I was expecting the falls to look larger, but it was still magical. Pierre even joined us on the adventure! More photos from the adventure can be seen here. Music: "Niagara Falls" by Wendy and Lisa

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/961 --- After I dropped my suitcase off at Jan's place we went to Glen Falls for our first Buffaloian adventure. Yup, snow!!!

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/962 --- Jan had a bunch of these lollipops with extra-long sticks. While nomming them Marty decided that he wanted a bite... or a paw.

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/958 --- While walking across the SHSU fields one day I noticed some pretty spectacular clouds floating by above me. I thought it would be great to share it with everyone.

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/957 --- Here's a little tip for those of you that enjoy low-maintenance gardening. Using pine needles as mulch will help keep in moisture in the soil and thus require less watering. Also, mentioned is the fact that I filled up an entire large plastic bag with garbage and recyclables on the way home. It continues to baffle me how much waste people litter.

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/956 --- In September 2008 my Sister and Mom visited me in LA and we went down to Laguna Beach to visit some family friends. While we were there we spent quite a lot of time in a store called The Candy Baron. It was much like the candy store (Sugar Fix) where I worked for many years, but this one had more of a pirate (arrr!) feel to it. SO MUCH CANDY! (Excuse the low quality (320x240 resolution) video. It was recorded on my sister's video camera at the time. I re-encoded it to 640x480, but that doesn't improve the quality much.)

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/953 --- A few nights ago Johnny tweeted that he was on Tinychat again. After being unable to join the first couple of times he and Pasquale had tweeted about it, I decided to pop in. I made a whole bunch of new ** friends and we all ended up brushing our teeth together. Lots of fun! You should join us and be a ** fan!

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/951 --- Here are my thoughts on communication, friendship, and work. It appears that some people make life more difficult that it should be. If you're honest and keep lines of communication as open as possible, then your life should be easier and a lot less awkward. What are your thoughts? Perhaps I can make a part 2 answering your questions.

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/949 --- Yup, another picking up litter video. Are you guys following in my awesome footsteps yet? I'm going to make picking up litter the HIP thing to do! MARK MY WORDS!!!

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/948 --- At around 4:30 pm CDT on the 20th of October, 2010, a Taco Bell Store Man appeared on the Live Coco Cam and danced it's drive thru all over the stairwell. It was part of Team Coco's Live Coco Cam which was on from 10 am PDT on October 20th until 10 am PDT on October 21st. What a ride!

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/947 --- A few months ago I discovered the HydroRight Dual-Flush adapter on Amazon. I really wanted to get one, but never got around to it. I was in Home Depot recently and I saw the HydroRight Dual-Flush for a cheaper price (~$17) than Amazon (~$18), so I bought it. I've never opened the lid of a toilet before, so I'm a complete novice to how the insides work. However, the HydroRight is meant to be really simple to install. In fact, you don't even need any tools. The packaging says it only takes 10 minutes to install, but that must be for someone who has prior knowledge of how a toilet works. I decided to time how long it would take me — it definitely didn't take 10 minutes. This video isn't an instructional how-to on installing the HydroRight Dual-Flush. Rather, it's my experience with it and I show any issues I (and you) may have.

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/943 --- This is behind the scenes of the timelapse video (http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/942) I made. I explain the tools and inspiration I used for the painting, and pretty much everything else going through my mind. Plus, you get to see the painted wall close up!

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/944 -- A few weeks ago I made Spanish Rice for the first time. It was pretty tasty. I also made some Chicken Sandwiches on the sandwich maker. Nommy nom nom!

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/938 --- While Rachel was in Australia in August, 2009, she did some 'background artistry' on Home & Away with me. We played the role of a couple holding hands. How romantic! ;) I can't see any reason not to make this public, but for the time being I'll just have it as friends-only. http://homeandaway.com.au

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/940 --- Here's some more behind the scenes of Home & Away on a lovely spring day in 2009. I'm no longer under contract with Home & Away (Channel 7), so this should be okay to make public. However, I'll keep it friends-only just for a little bit. http://homeandaway.com.au

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/937 --- When I lived in Sydney my Mom would sometimes ask me to get her petrol at the petrol station nearby because she didn't have time to do so and on certain days petrol would be significantly cheaper. On this particular day there were so many people purchasing cheap(er) fuel that I had to wait almost 20 minutes before I reached the pump. People go crazy over cheap petrol. It's really sad. Where's my burp-powered Porsche?

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/936 --- I know TV screens at petrol stations aren't anything new in the USA, but they're relatively new to stations in Australia. During my stay back in Sydney at the end of 2009 I found a petrol station playing news and commercials. One of the screens was very choppy though. I'm not sure how the content is displayed on the screens, but it looks like it was being streamed over a very slow data connection. Edited using ReelDirector on my iPhone 3GS.

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/935 --- While Rachel was in Australia during August, 2009, I took her to view a pretty sunset in the busharea. It was pretty. This is what we saw.

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/934 --- I took Rachel to the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney during her visit in August, 2009. We explored it around sunset and it was fun!

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/933 --- I took Rachel on an adventure down the Cascades Track back in August 2009. We took photos and pranced around for a while. It was nice.

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/932 --- Mitch made a funny! http://blog.miiitch.com/post/236680643

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/929 --- Since when does chicken come without any kind of sealed packaging?

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/928 --- I know, I know, this video is old as heck. I realised that I never uploaded it though. Plus, it's interesting to look back on old stuff like this with the perspective (i.e., iPhone 4) that we have now.

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/926 --- The date stamp on this video file wasn't accurate, so I'm not entirely sure when I recorded it, but it was around September 2009. Basically, I'm just catching up on a few things about my life, including the fact that I get annoyed when watching the news on TV. One such story was the idea of adding more seasons to the year by making each current season shorter. Names like "Sprummer" and "Sprinter" were suggested.

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/931 --- My first look at Apple's Magic Trackpad back in July. It's quite a sweet device, but I'm not sure I can justify the $70 pricepoint.

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/925 --- This is the first time I've attended a pre-game American Football Tailgate. I must admit there was more to look at there than I expected... classic cars, helicopters, piles of trash; they just about had it all. ;) None of the Mayos ended up watching the American football game because it was raining. We went and saw "Wall Street" at the cinemas instead. Read more about this weekend here...

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/924 --- I've always said if I ever buy/own a car that I will take impeccable care of it because it's an extremely expensive piece of machinery and I don't want to be wasting my money making unnecessary fixes on it. Parking your car might seem like a trivial thing to do, but choosing a good parking spot could be the difference between your car and a dent in your car.

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/922 --- At the end of 2009 my friend, Katherine, started working at a place called Dreamy Donuts. Oddly enough, I had never heard of this doughnut franchise, but I was interested in trying some. She brought the leftovers home for me after almost every shift and this video is me nomming a bunch of them. In hindsight, these doughnuts are really nothing special. Sure, they're rather artistic, but they don't taste that good. They're also completely unhealthy. Dreamy Donuts is a 100% Australian owned company. http://dreamydonuts.com.au

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/921 --- Ben & Jerry's had a Scoop-a-thon (i.e., handed out free ice cream all day) on the 28th of November, 2010, at their first Sydney store. I attended with my Dad. I had the Sweet Cream & Cookies while he had the Chocolate Fudge Brownie.

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/919 --- I've had this idea for a while. (As I've mentioned here, I think it's a good idea to get ideas out in the open. Especially if you don't have the means to implement them.) Imagine if the entire side of a car was illuminated in orange/amber when the turn signal/indicator was on. It would certainly assist in making a driver's intentions more noticeable. Read more about this idea on my blog: http://djsteen.com/wp/2010/08/25/large-indicators

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/920 --- I don't know about you, but I can't stand seeing litter anywhere let alone my own neighbourhood. Hence, I pick up litter. No questions asked. I really wish people would just stop littering. It's clearly idiotic.

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/914 --- So cute! This was what me and my Dad would do when I was little. Except the garbage truck came at midnight.

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/909 --- Yeah, so I recorded another video from an iPhone 4 and transfered it to my MacBook Pro so that I have the full quality video. It's still rather soft...

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/910 --- I'm tired of seeing major corporations release products that don't quite push the boundaries of our imagination. The new Porsche 918 Spyder looks hot, but just because it has a tiny electric engine (making it a hybrid) doesn't mean it's going to save the planet. If I'm going to spend $300,000+ for an automobile I would like it to be able to grow a forest on the road I see in the rear-view mirror. Don't you agree?

Originally seen on Viddler: http://viddler.com/explore/djsteen/videos/917 --- Every year these bees arrive and sleep on the dead bushes (it's an art thing) on our porch. They buzz around in the afternoon, settle on a twig, and fall asleep. I have a feeling they could also be doing some mating somewhere in there.
