Economic times are tough. There are people hurting. Here’s a hanky that will help you empathise as you comfort those around you… it tracks the movement of the Dow Jones index over the past five years.
It’ll cost you an exorbitant $US28 – and comes from Design Glut – who says you can’t make money off the recession.
Saudi Arabia is not a nice place to be if you’re a Muslim looking to become a Christian.
Anyone who wants to preach the message that Islam is a religion of love and tolerance should consider the punishment dished out on anybody who wants to leave the fold.
In Christianity we call communities that shun or excommunicate those who leave cults. It’s one of the criterion a cult must meet.
According to Islamic rules – as stated in the Hadith of Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 84, Number 57, which is authoritative for all Muslims:
“Some Zanadiqa (atheists) were brought to ‘Ali and he burnt them. The news of this event, reached Ibn ‘Abbas who said, “If I had been in his place, I would not have burnt them, as Allah’s Apostle forbade it, saying, ‘Do not punish anybody with Allah’s punishment (fire).’ I would have killed them according to the statement of Allah’s Apostle, ‘Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.’”
A Christian convert in Saudi Arabia, a young girl, wrote this poem (and posted it online) shortly before her family killed her for apostasy. Here’s an excerpt:
There are tears on my cheek, and Oh! the heart is sad
To those who become Christians, how you are so cruel!
And the Messiah says, “Blessed are the Persecuted”
And we for the sake of Christ all things bearWhat is it to you that we are infidels?
You do not enter our graves, as if with us buriedEnough – your swords do not concern me, not evil nor disgrace
Your threats do not trouble me, and we are not afraid
And by God, I am unto death a Christian—Verily
I cry for what passed by, of a sad life
Talk about courage under fire.
There are three things this episode prompts me to think.
This is a more serious tone than I like to put here – but this story is just overwhelmingly sad. And this sort of insight into martyrdom is rare. This lady’s entire poem is well worth a read. Do it.
Some alarm clocks don’t require complete cogniscience to turn off, or switch over to snooze – this one will take more hand eye coordination than I’m capable of until slightly before midday. It won’t shut up until you score a bullseye.
This heading only makes sense assuming you know that Piazza is a brand of coffee.
And now you do you can drink happily from the leaning tower knowing you get my awesome pun.
A Japanese artist produced these wedding bands with the soundwaves of the words “I do” etched permanently in gold.
The same guy who previously produced waveform jewelery and art. Classy.
This piece of artwork would make for an incredibly cool T-Shirt. Some people love Seinfeld, for others it’s a hate relationship… but there’s no denying this is a great piece of design. It contains 99 references to Seinfeld episodes… click the images for a bigger version.
If you’re anything like me you balk at the idea of paying more than $50 for a cable that cost about $2 to make. It’s ridiculous. All the testing suggests that cheap cables are as effective as “gold plated” cables for carrying your data.
I’ve been looking for a cheap Optical audio cable to go with my cheap HDMI cables picked up via a nice discount online vendor on a special. This cheap online vendor – Oznetics – has cables at reasonable prices all year round – if by reasonable you mean under $20 including delivery. And currently has a great special on HDMI cables to boot.
They also sell a bunch of home automation stuff. Which is what I’d be doing if:
a) I owned my own house, or
b) We weren’t saving all our spare change for college.
Optical audio here we come…
People are always trying to taste fruity traces in their espresso – that shouldn’t be too hard with these DIY shot glasses. A trace of apple maybe?
If you’re looking for something with slightly more street cred than ascii art – perhaps you’re not a geek or a nerd – then maybe you want to turn your image into a fully sick stencil to apply on brick walls and traffic light posts all over your city of choice. Well now you can. Thanks to the wonders of BeFunky.com – you can “be funky”… like this…
If you’ve ever wanted to impress your friends with your awesome ascii art skills – but don’t actually have awesome ascii skills – then Picascii is the tool for you. Here’s one I prepared earlier – not sure how well it’ll come up, but it’s worth a try… it looked good on their page.

What are the essential ingredients of a good novelty kitchen? Novelty salt and pepper receptacles of course. And here’s a selection…
These ones take the manual labour out of the equation with a self shaking mechanism.
These ones take you back to square one and form the building blocks of the essential dining experience.
These ones will help you get the formula for your dinner party just right.
This one brings the Twitter experience to your breakfast table.
And this one adds weight to any dinner discussion.
I’m no parent. But I do like to give random parenting advice to those who are. Purely on the basis of having once been a child.
Dear parents. Please smack your children, keep them disciplined, train them to respond to a series of whistles (no joke – Robyn’s uncle has done this, it’s fantastic), think they’re the greatest thing since sliced bread, drive them from one extra-curricular activity to the next, feed them good stuff, feed them bad stuff, breast feed them until they can walk, talk or run… well, maybe not that one – and feel free to overshare about their toilet training as much as you like… just please, please don’t post a video of their drug induced stupor on the Internet – or do anything that may come back to haunt them as an adult… like making them use this dummy (found here):
Yes, it may look hilarious. At first. You may want to show all your friends how cute your little angel is with big buck teeth… but they won’t thank you for it later. Trust me.
