Fitbit February – Enter The Contest Win a @Fitbit!

Fitbit February - Enter The Contest  Win a @Fitbit! pictures

Want to win a Fitbit? Make a video response! It’s that easy!

Topic #1: It’s an hour before midnight and you have 5000 steps left to go. Make a video demonstrating how you’d get to 10k

Topic #2: Wake someone up! – Fun video waking up a parent sibling child pet etc. As long as you’re somehow promoting the quality of sleep metric of the fitbit you’re good to go.

Topic #3: How many flights of stairs can you climb? Show us! Bonus points for creativity.

Attach Video Response by Friday Feb 24th at Noon Eastern or buy a fitbit here: http://j.mp/getfitbit

If you aren’t familiar with the fitbit it’s basically an internet connected pedometer on steroids. During the day it counts how many steps you take it lets you track activities such as the treadmill at the gym separately too and in the new version they just came out with it even tracks how many flights of stairs you’ve climbed. When you’re sleeping you wear it on your wrist and it tracks how well you sleep at night.

All of this information is transmitted wirelessly back to fitbit.com where you get some really awesome graphs and statistics of your activity to help becoming more fit or just a record for you too look at for fun. One of the statistics it gives you is exactly how many calories you burned during the day so if you enter in the food you’ve eaten you can watch the two graphs calories consumed and calories burned and as long as you eat less then you burn you’re losing weight!

I really do love this device and I’m so happy Fitbit teamed up with me so I can run “Fitbit February” or Fitruary. My own personal goal for this month is to complete the recommended 10000 steps a day or at least on average and I challenge you all to do that as well. I also challenge you to make a video response to this video answering one or more of the three suggested video topics and I’ll be picking at least one of you to get a free fitbit ultra just like this!

Feel free to make three video responses answering each of the suggested topics for an extra chances at winning! All video responses need to be completed and attached to this video by noon eastern on Friday February 24th and you need to be subscribed to my channel to be eligible. As an added bonus Fitbit has committed to giving away an extra fitbit if this video gets over 10000 views so like favorite comment and share this with all your friends as well to help increase your odds!

If you already have a fitbit tracker I’ve also created a group on there for YouTuber’s http://www.fitbit.com/group/2296BC so please join up and there may be something special for those who do the best there too. If you don’t already have a fitbit and want to just go out and get one you can order one at http://j.mp/getfitbit.

Thanks so much for watching and I can’t wait to give away these fitbit’s! Happy Fitbit February!

Nexus Smorgasbord (Galaxy Nexus Update Mail and Contest Teaser)

Nexus Smorgasbord (Galaxy Nexus Update Mail and Contest Teaser) pictures

Just a couple of quick updates today. First off thanks to Jacob on Google Plus I *might* have fixed or at least improved the battery situation I was having in the video I did on that last week http://www.youtube.com/watch?vSMpSoFYWRU The solution might be as simple as disabling google talk! We shall see but things look good so far!

Also I finally made it to the PO box again (actually I had gone a week or so ago and collected a few things but hadn’t gotten around to making the video yet) so big shout out to everyone who sent things in!

Lastly stay tuned for a new video this Wednesday. I’ll be doing a new contest that will be running throughout February and I’m really excited about it!

Thanks to Jacob for the Battery Tip on this thread!

Galaxy Nexus Review By Someone Who Actually Uses It

Galaxy Nexus Review By Someone Who Actually Uses It pictures

After a month of promising to review the Galaxy Nexus here you finally go! Even though I spend a lot of time in this video talking about the bad things about the phone most of them will probably be solved by software updates coming soon. Overall I really do love this phone and recommend it!

I didn’t have time to talk about it in the video but one of the other reasons I wanted this phone was because of the HD camera it has in it. I’ve posted some videos to both this channel and my mobile channel http://YouTube.com/UrgosClips showing that off. I’ll link a couple here:

DIE SOPA PIPA DIE! – Stop Internet Censorship!

DIE SOPA  PIPA DIE! - Stop Internet Censorship! pictures

Unless you live under a rock or are not in the US (or live under a rock and are not in the US) you’ve probably heard of SOPA or PIPA by now. If you haven’t basically it gives media companies the power to basically censor the internet with very little judicial oversight if any.

If you are over 18 I highly recommend you find out who your congressmen are and contact them to stop this and/or make sure to vote against them if they vote for sopa. A good site for this information is http://sopatrack.com . If you’re under 18 talk to your parents.

Flying on the Ground – Park City Utah Skiing

Flying on the Ground - Park City Utah Skiing pictures

As you may have seen in my preview video I’m currently in Utah and this weekend I went skiing here! Even though I grew up in MA another place that skiing is common I never actually skied until a few years ago so this was only my 4th time but I had a lot of fun!

Believe it or not but I only fell down twice! The first time was on my first time down the hill where the rental boots I had were WAY too tight. I was literally in pain and screwed up a slow down maneuver. After I switched the boots for a size bigger I felt great and didn’t fall again until almost the last run when someone else wiped out in front of me.

Park City Utah where I was is pretty well known for their great ski conditions however this year they’ve been cursed with an extreme lack of real snow so most of the snow I was on was man made. Fortunately/unfortunately for me I’ve only been skiing in pre or post season in the past so I was used to these bad conditions. Even with that though I had a lot of fun!

Have you ever been skiing? If so how many times (about again this was my 4th). Where’s your favorite place to go skiing?
