@ijustine Happy new year, lots of joy and success to you Justine 🥂

Happy New Year, friends!

@ijustine I remember him in some of your vlogs together. He was incredibly kind ❤️ I am so sorry

Hearing the news today of Lamarr Wilson's passing sent an immense wave of shock and sadness throughout the tech and online community. For his fans and friends — it was truly unexpected and shocking news to read. I still don’t think I’ve fully processed that this is real. Looking back through years of memories, content, and vlogs we made together, it’s hard to accept that those moments are the last ones we’ll ever create. I know there was no one else that shared my love of collecting xbox controllers and Amiibo the way Lamarr did — I will miss our interventions that ultimately lead to us getting MORE of both! 🫶🏻 There wasn’t an event that we didn’t attend where Lamarr wasn’t smiling, excited, and giddy about whatever we were there for. From video game launches, birthday parties to milestone life celebrations, his infectious laugh would have you LOL’ing along with him. It’s always heartbreaking to post something like this, to have never been able to tell someone what they mean to you. The feeling of regret that you didn’t reach out sooner or that there was something that you could have done to help. Sending so much love to his family, friends and everyone online while navigating this new reality without Lamarr in it. ❤️

@ijustine I digitized all my VHS with Elgato video capture, worked very well 👍🏻

Anyone digitize any old VHS tapes recently? Curious what you found that worked best!

@ijustine What an unexpected and nice update ☺️ Such great memories with you and all the ACNH friends that made the pandemic a little less difficult to go through.

YES PLZ

@ijustine My 30-pin dock cable is somewhere I don’t know 😔

🎶 It’s 2002 - what’s on your iPod?

@ijustine « iPod girl » ! 😁😁 congratulations on this long (and still going for long) journey 🥹

The year is 2001 and I’m in high school (you can do the math) I’m Apple obsessed as ever and the first iPod is introduced! I can’t quite recall exactly when I got it, but it was shortly after. With 1,000 songs in my pocket — Tool, Creed, No Doubt, Deftones, Motion City Soundtrack and so on.. little did I know that THIS was the true start to my journey. With my name taken on most websites, I decided to just toss an i in front of my name as a login. Previously I had used a gender neutral nickname so when I’d play games, no one would know I was a girl 🤦🏼‍♀️ Sick of not being myself and with this new introduction to what would be later known as social media — iJustine was born.. I bought the domain and some of you know the rest! 😜 The iPod not only launched Apple into an all new era but it also brought me into one then too. And now some 20+ years later, I’m letting it bring me into ANOTHER new one 😊 See you there!

@ijustine I had bought the first one, but I can’t say I opened it much 😅

The new $450 Apple Music Coffee table book! Is it.. worth it?

@GregGuillotin bonjour, la vidéo d’hier a été supprimée, vas-tu la reposter ?

@hplhs You don’t allow DMs, but you should be able to DM me now 👍🏻

@benchfiddler I tried and it said you can't be messaged. maybe if you DM me I can answer?

@benchfiddler Trying to reach you to request permission to use one of your videos. Please reach out if you see this!

@Nomadplay_app bonjour, avez-vous arrêté l’application ? Je n’arrive plus à m’y connecter ni à accéder à votre site. Merci

@ladyteruki Cacahuète ! 😁😁 ok I will try Mastodon, not sure I will be very active there either, but when I’m set up I will tell you !

@benchfiddler : it's for stuff like this that I wish you were on Mastodon. I'm forced to use Xwitter when I want to share things that made me smile but that only you understand :)

@StarAcademy hé ho la dernière ligne des paroles de l’hymne à l’amour c « dieu réunit ceux qui s’aiment » pkoi cette censure ?? la pauvre #edithpiaf doit se retourner dans sa tombe

@TwoSetViolin I’ll have a rush of adrenalin and just show them I too can play it quickly 🎻💨😅

What would you do if you knew there were prodigies in the audience?

@TwoSetViolin Depends if my teacher asks this before or after I played 😨

When your teacher asks how much you practice what do you say?

@ijustine I am so sorry for your loss 😔 Your mommy seemed so nice. We need to only cherish the time we spend with our parents, like you did 🥺

My sweet mommy passed away this week and I will be forever heartbroken. She has always been the strongest and most supportive person I know. I’m going to miss her so much 😞😢💔 Just wanted to share with you all because she really loved following my online adventures and I’m so grateful that you have given me the opportunity to work from anywhere and be able to spend time with my family (even if I was shooting/editing reviews on vacations, she was always so proud!!) She has given me so much and no words I can say will ever be able to do her the justice she deserves 💕

@ladyteruki @TerukiParadise Well your message notification made me log back in after a while and check my tw timeline. And I saw. I had been actually wondering how he was and I should have taken the time. I am so sorry for your loss 😔

@benchfiddler @TerukiParadise : yeah, I just read that Twitter might be deleting inactive accounts and thought maybe I'd log back into the account, but I can't for the life of me remember what the email address was. Second step would be the password XD

@benchfiddler : sorry for bothering you akito, but do you by any chance have kept a trace of an admin email ending in free.fr for @TerukiParadise ? I remember there was one but I can't remember its exact phrasing, maybe I wrote from it to you ?

@ladyteruki @TerukiParadise It was certainly Chieco’s best PV. Oddly not my favorite. I last updated hidamari in 2010, it’s still there but not really functioning due to all the flash buttons I put 😅 Are you looking for the names of your old free accounts ?

@benchfiddler @TerukiParadise : haha, it's honestly the only one of hers I still listen to sometimes !

@ladyteruki @TerukiParadise Oh yes it was ! Not for long though. But the reason you contacted me was because you fell in love with that PV ! *pompomgirl*

@benchfiddler @TerukiParadise : aww ! We were so young back then. Candy Baby wasn't even out !

@ladyteruki @TerukiParadise I looked again, you also used a wanadoo mail for some time but I guess that’s not helping either. I also found the very first email you sent me, to offer a partnership hidamari/TP, July 31st 2005 😄

@benchfiddler @TerukiParadise : hm sadly no, the one I'm looking for started with a T. I'm assuming it's terukiparadise[something] at free.fr but I'm lacking the something XD Thanks for looking, though :)
