These are crazy. Some details about the “Look Around You” TV show here.
The aesthetic is almost perfect.

Nathan runs St Eutychus. He loves Jesus. His wife. His daughter. His son. His other daughter. His dog. Coffee. And the Internet. He is the pastor of City South Presbyterian Church, a church in Brisbane, a graduate of Queensland Theological College (M. Div) and the Queensland University of Technology (B. Journ). He spent a significant portion of his pre-ministry-as-a-full-time-job life working in Public Relations, and now loves promoting Jesus in Brisbane and online. He can't believe how great it is that people pay him to talk and think about Jesus. If you'd like to support his writing financially you can do that by giving to his church.
A little White Noise
Reader, and blogger on things Calvinistic and other stuff, Lee Shelton IV, doesn’t just have a numerically cool last name. He has skills of an artist (if you think that sentence is grammatically incorrect go here).
He has started a whiteboard cartoon blog called “White Noise”. And I’ll be following along.
So far he has zombies, politics, venn diagrams, and pacman. How could I resist?
The best thing is the lack of comic sans.
Atheist wins lotto, converts to Christianity
Lotteries will go broke if this craze catches on and God keeps answering said prayers the same way…
A self-confessed atheist has become a believer after mocking God by sarcastically praying for his mother to win the lottery. However, his joke prayer was amazingly answered as the next day his mother won $1 million on the New York Lottery Sweet Million game.
Better than a wet fleece.
Evolution: The root of all evils?
I’m writing an essay today. It’s about Genesis 1 and what Genesis 1 is about (who and why v what and when: how helpful is this distinction).
I think this cartoon from Answers In Genesis will form the backbone of my argument because it is very scholarly.
I love how they equate evolution with our sinful nature. You can kind of, sort of, if you squint a bit, see where their thinking is coming from.
It’s a bit anachronistic to suggest all the stuff in the balloons on the left is due to evolution isn’t it? As though they all came into being post Darwin.
It’s sad that a necessary Christian corrective of empirical naturalism looks like this.
Powerpoint horror stories: some of the world’s worst slides
Urgh. There’s no greater design faux pas than an overloaded powerpoint. Especially an overloaded powerpoint with wordart.
Do your powerpoint slides look like this? I hope not. I tell everybody that the people who read my blog have class and intelligence. Not to mention taste. So lets all laugh at these people together. It’s the only way they’ll learn.
Infocus ran this competition to find the world’s worst slides, and provided these tips for not finding yourself on that list.
Tumblrweed: Literally Unbelievable
The Onion has been around for ages. It’s older than Facebook. Older than YouTube. Almost older than the internet. And yet. Some people still don’t understand that it’s satire.
There’s a great online law – Poe’s Law – that says good satire will be indistinguishable from truth. Literally Unbelievable is a demonstration of the power of Poe’s Law. Capturing Facebookers who don’t know the difference between the Onion and real news.
The wool bone is connected to the… other wool bone
This woolen skeleton puts a new spin on broken bones being “knit” together.
More photos here, it is quite amazingly detailed.
The Pancake Project: celebrating the magic of pancakes
Have you ever pondered the almost limitless options available for things to add to pancakes in the cooking process, let alone the toppings to put on them afterwards? It boggles the mind. The Pancake Project exists for such purposes.
Big brown bear bean bag
This bean bag would serve more purpose if I lived somewhere that big brown bears lived. It could keep big brown bears in the yard and out of the house by acting as a decoy. Oh well.
For sale on Etsy. It’s like a scarebear (as opposed to a scarecrow, not as opposed to a carebear).
Star Wars Crayons
If only I’d spent more time playing with crayons as a kid and less time trying to eat them or whatever it was I did.

How to confuse your elderly relatives by the power of the internet
A friend of mine allegedly taught her little brother that the correct name for “green” was “yellow”. That sounds cruel. And it is (it’s also funny). Similarly, this guy told his 81 year old dad that Twitter is Google. Confused? So is he.
You can follow his tweets and provide him with answers here.

Slow Mo Guys make super slow mo even more fun
You’ve all spent hours watching slow motion videos online right? Didn’t you know that’s pretty much what the Internet was invented for?
Here you go.
This is probably my favourite.
