Me and @tylerkiros May Long 2012


For the past month SO MANY people kept mistaking me for Tyler on the Kiros poster for The Bunker concert. It got to the point where people were adding ME on Fbook thinking I was him (even his wife almost sent me a message ment for him…)
We decided that people are just focusing on the features, not how we actually look :P
Love you Ty! And all the boys in the band!

Facebook has gone public, or, “Zuckerberg secures place as future overlord”

It’s been 6 years since I joined Facebook…
Now that timeline is a thing, I was able to go back and see just how many hours/days/years I’ve spent nurturing my presence online. Some would look at this and think “waste of time”, I see it as time well spent. I’ve had an internet outlet since Grade 9 (in the days of Geocities), and now using my connections through college and ministry, I’ve been able to take this hobby/interest and turn it into something of lasting value. To be able to reach out to people, learn alongside others, share information…and decline literally thousands of Farmville requests (yes I still get those). While I may have cursed Fbook’s birth from my little MySpace cave, I now fully embrace it as just another part of my life. The key is knowing when to type, and when to talk.

I feel like Bethesda just screamed “RELEASE THE KRAKEN!!!” 

Internet Milestone: 10,000 TWEETS!!!

That’s probably not many in comparison to most, but seeing as I only post things that I consider to be valuable info it means a lot (to me). 

Thanks interwebz for always being awesome!

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT…

Google Maps now has an 8bit NES version! I know I’m posting this on April 1st, but this isn’t a prank, they posted this on their official YouTube page two days ago.

To celebrate the 3rd Anniversary of Hebblog…

Here’s my current top blogs (and Instagramers just for fun, cause I love ya so much)
Not sure who that middle face is, buuut everything else seems legit haha!

If you recognize your icon drop me a message [here] so we can chat about how awesome the internet is! 

HEBBLOG’s 3rd BIRTHDAY
Started on March 26th, 2009 (okay so I’m a few days off…I’ve been busy)Can’t believe I’ve been able to keep interest for this long! It’s definitely been because of my awesome followers. Without the input and interaction from all the random people in my life this would be useless. This isn’t just a Tumblr page (for those who didn’t know) my blog combines everything from my Vlogs on YouTube, my daily updates on Twitter, and events at work through Facebook. This is a hub for everything that is…well…me! Over the past year I’ve toyed with different ways of “using” my site, but in the end have found that it only truly works through joint efforts of me sharing info using different socialnetworks synced through my blog. So if you’ve been thinking “he doesn’t post that often” in terms of what pops up on your dashboard…you’re right! But if you look at my actual page you’d see there’s always something going on ;)

Another reason why Vimeo > YouTube
(but I will probably always be anchored to Google…)

Coffee & Multitasking v.91

“While I Was Away” Edition


1. ACTA [info]
Even I couldn’t get away from the tweets about SOPA’s predecessor. I did my part by sharing a few helpful links, but honestly I was on vacation so I didn’t look into it.

2. RES EVIL 6 [IGN]
The next game in my favorite zombie-shooter series released a trailer! Stoked!

3. WINTER X GAMES 2012 [footage]
Not as cool as the summer edition, but, the first ever snowmobile frontflip was pulled, that’s rad!

4. TV SHOWS IN DANGER [IGN]
Might be canceled; Terra Nova, House, Fringe, Community, CSI Miami (and more)
Not coming back; Chuck, Desperate House Wives, One Tree Hill (and more)

5. LOCAL MUSIC [YouTube]
My favorite acoustic cover artist, Elana, posted her take on Bright Eyes “first day of my life”

6. BEFORE WATCHMEN [Wired]
A local tweeter pointed out to me that DC is coming out with a series of prequel-comics, with each member having their own book. I’m happy to hear that co-creator Alan Moore isn’t pleased.

What else happened last week that I haven’t talked about? Favorite stories? Anything geeky?
