I was searching Twitter for "Blockland" and I saw some people @tonyhawk saying "whats blockland?".

So I looked at his tweets and I found these three:

6:43 AM May 16th
My boys get up at dawn to turn on the computer. I am hoping it teaches them good work ethic. Doubt they are working on spreadsheets though.

7:04 AM May 16th
and in my blissful ignorance, their obsession with Blockland means that they will be incredibly successful civil engineers

8:09 AM May 16th
@JoshNelson Blockland = online "Lego" game. When they aren't building real Legos, they are doing it in virtual reality (no cleanup factor)

See the picture at the bottom.

Tony Hawk has 708,775 followers on Twitter (as of May 24th)

I just thought this was pretty cool because:

1: Someone who is very "mainstream" talked about Blockland

2: Tony Hawk's kids are in Blockland somewhere...

Tony Hawk is the best guy ever. I went to his Boom Boom Huck Jam a couple of years ago and it was great stuff, and the guy is really friendly. It's still refreshing to see a record-breaking athlete be as good-natured as he is, compared to the disgraces who run fast that we have today.

Bill Gates and his Xbox/Vista/Games For Windows Live escapades is pretty low on a lot of lists now, except that one that has to do with money.

Tony Hawk (I don't really know that much about him)

but he sounds like a really cool guy, he has kids, he is a good dad, he likes videogames (his series has gone downhill, so maybe he should forget about that)
