Some people can’t get enough of Christian music (or bands that are publicly Christian). Here’s a song highlighting the problem with the Christian music industry.

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.
On guard
A former Guantanamo Bay guard, Brandon Neely, joined Facebook and on a whim searched for some of the released detainees, leading to a remarkable exchange between them that is now the subject of a BBC doco. Pretty cool.
Mr Neely was 22 when he worked at the camp and left after six months to serve in Iraq. But after quitting the military his doubts about Guantanamo began to crystallise. This led to a spontaneous decision last year to reach out to his former prisoners.
“I was pretty new to Facebook and decided to type in their names to see if their profiles popped up and I came across Shafiq’s Facebook page. I decided to send him a little e-mail,” says Mr Neely.

Awesome.
Remarkable bookmark
This is a cool bookmark. It doesn’t just remember your page – it even marks where you’re up to on the page.
First Person Tetris
Creating a new and challenging version of Tetris seems to be all the rage. First Person Tetris will make you dizzy and nostalgic at the same time.
Instead of pieces rotating when you spin them the screen rotates.
Wears ya bean(ie)
If you wear this beanie don’t go near any Italian plumbers. They’ll want to climb nearby piping and jump on your head. Be warned.
Corrugated tie
If you’ve ever been in a situation where you’ve wanted to join a bit of a bluegrass jam but haven’t had the requisite instrument – buy this washboard (complete with thimbles) tie and wear it everywhere.
Just a spoon full of pain
This movie contains some language and the contents may be disturbing. But I watched the whole thing. And it made me laugh.
Weapons of mosquito destruction
Mosquitoes are dangerous. They carry all sorts of nasty tropical diseases. You should kill them. You should overkill them.
Here’s a nifty little mosquito killing contraption made from common household items.

A wee bit of physics
I spent a couple of days trying to decide whether to post this picture. My mum said it was ok.

We’re thru
While being technically acceptable the use of the word “thru” really annoys me. And this sign vandal.
