#Hashtags will finally work on Facebook

Which means finally all you douche bags won't look like douche bags.  Unfortunately, not everyone will have the feature at first, so some of you will still look like douche bags for a little big longer. Keep it up!

1,000th Post Extravaganza!

I can't believe I made it to 1,000 posts! On second thought, I'm not too surprised at the number, but rather how quickly I reached this milestone. I vowed to make at least 1 blog post every day since I started the B Long Blog way back on April 14, 2011; I only recently broke the streak and missed one day (11/11/12). But I have more than made up for it, as I have now posted 1,000 times over the last 623 days. That averages 1.6 posts per day... not too shabby! I'd still like to see that increase to 2 posts per day, but it's not always easy as I do have a life outside of the blog (I know, it's hard to belive). Click the link above for some stats on the timeframe.

 For more stats and facts, look no further! I'll have plenty, so let's get started.

As of now, at 9:30pm on December 26, 2012 (Boxing Day!):

Facebook "Likes" - 49 (Can I get to 50?!?! Sheesh.)
Total pageviews - 35,580
Pageviews per day - 57.11

I've found some discrepancies with the view counts for these posts, so a few of these may not be worthy.  Now of those top 10 posts, only 7 are originals by me and not re-posts from other sites; of those 7, I only consider 3 to be posts with some "hefty" content. The #1 spot though is a B Long Blog original, so I'm happy that it's still the far and away leader. Now, here's my own best of the B Long Blog, all originals from oldest to newest:

Thank you all for continuing to read the B Long Blog, and please don't hesistate to share a link of Facebook or any other website. Can I get some more Facebook likes too? Only 1 away from 50, which would be another milestone! Thanks!

And if you must know, I'm still considering a Bill Murray spinoff blog!

Angry Birds perfection

This level took me FOREVER to 3 star, let alone get a decent score on it too. You have to make every shot perfect, and even then it's not a guarantee. This is also the final star I needed for Angry Birds on Facebook, so I'll give myself a pat on the back for that. Try to beat my score below!

Happy Birthday to the B Long Blog!!!

Holy crap! I've been blogging an entire year! And I missed the anniversary date! Just two days ago, April 14th, marked the first birthday of the B Long Blog.  And I missed it? Oh well, I'd been blogging for 365 366 days, so forgive me. 
As of my one year anniversary, I had made at least 1 post a day for the entire (leap) year, for a total of 569.  That's an average of 1.55 posts per day; not too shabby.  I'd like to see that get up to 2 per day, but we'll see how it goes. Views were right around 13,000 on the 14th, which comes to 35.52 per day.  Also just got to 30 likes today, and I'd like to get to 60 in much quicker than a year.  That's up to you guys! Happy Birthday to me!

Please click like, and share on Facebook!--->

Also, finally finsished tagging all 576 posts, so everything is up to date as of 4/16/12

58,873 people are idiots



I'm not explaining this one

10,000 Views!!

The B Long Blog just surpassed 10,000 views!! I know it's not that high, but it's still an accomplishment.  Here's to 10,000 more, and how about some more Facebook likes?  Let's get to 50! Thanks guys!!

Primus to stream new album on South Park Facebook page

Some of you may be reading that headline and saying "WTF?", but it does indeed make sense.  Every version of the South Park theme has been done by either Primus or frontman Les Claypool, and Primus had even contributed to Chef Aid.  South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker are also very good friends with Les.  So for Primus to stream their entire new album on the South Park Facebook page makes perfect sense.  Click the link above to listen.  The album, Green Naugahyde, drops September 13th.

Edit: Upon listening, I must say that the album was quite good, funky,weird, and, well, it was Primus. Recommended!
