My top five posts about bacon

Declaring a love for bacon is tantamount to declaring a love for oxygen.

But here are some posts about Bacon that I just want to relive.

Bacon jam helps you eat, like, a pig

Pig + Blender = Bacon Jam. That’s the equation celebrated by this shirt.

Breadwinners

The perfect BLT.

The winner was an American chef living in Sydney… here’s the concluding post from the competition.

Here’s his winning sandwich – but the best bit is the photographic flow chart he made (and the fact that he harvested his own salt from the ocean)…

BBB sandwich

This is what you should get if you order a BLT with no L, no T and extra B.

It hasn’t made it to “This is why you’re fat” yet – but it will.

I found it here.

And finally – a very useful flow chart…

There’s nothing wrong with this picture

Plenty of bacon to be found here in this “what to eat” decision making flow chart from geekologie.

My five favourite posts about Lego

How to choose what beer to drink

Do you know your lagers from your pilsners? If not, this chart will be really helpful – if so – you probably know what sort of beer you want to drink and may have even dabbled with matching different beers to different meals.

I am constantly appalled that Fosters is Australia’s most famous beer export. Does anybody actually drink it in Australia? And for those who think Jesus drank non-alcoholic wine – here’s a soft drink flow chart.

A list of posts from the Christmas period

While the rest of the blogosphere seemed to take the last couple of weeks off (Simone excluded), I ploughed on.

Here are some posts that I thought were a bit of alright from that period.

The one about the books I read over Christmas
The one about finding Jesus on Wikipedia (a fun Wikipedia link game).
The one where Home Alone is presented in Tweets
The one about Christmas sermons
The one that features an open letter to people who have music playing on their websites
The one about Christian computer games
The one about the amazing complexity of human DNA v the amazing complexity of human technology
The one with videos of things being made
The one with the world’s best paper plane thrower

My Top Five "Christian" YouTube Videos from 2009

I’ve posted heaps of videos this year – and a lot of them had “Christian” connotations or content. I put “Christian” in inverted comments because at times they were more about cultural Christianity than about Christ.

Here are five that have had some sort of profound impact on my life this year…

January Listmania

Everybody loves lists. Especially at the end of the year and the end of the decade. I haven’t written any yet. I’m putting together my hottest 100 Townsville experiences in time for Australia Day – because everybody knows that’s the day for hottest 100s.

In the meantime today will be a bunch of lists. And because I’m lazy it will be lists of stuff I’ve featured before. That you may have missed.

How to stop a pair of purse snatchers

If you happen to see two bag snatchers getting away with daylight robbery and all you have to stop them with is your pushbike – this is how you do it.

YouTube Tuesday: Guns don’t kill people, Australians do

Scarily enough – this guy is Australian.

By his stripes…

If you ever wanted a great piece of pictorial justification for not putting Christian status updates on Facebook – especially updates with jargon – then here you go.

Ducking for cover

Anatidaephobia is the fear of being watched by a duck. It exists. There is a page for it, at a reputable site.

A hilarious site that highlights the dangers of placing ads on a page based on the content of the page.

“We’ve got you under our wing” is a slogan hardly likely to inspire confidence in the fledgling anatidaephobic who is seeking to learn more about their condition on the internet. Especially accompanied by a beady eyed mascot with such a sinister beak.

The case of the missing cases

The packing and moving process brought me to the point of epiphany. CD cases, or “Jewel cases” as I think they are called, are a waste of space.

I spent the last couple of days moving my CD collection from cases to a big CD wallet. I kept the liner notes. I tossed the plastic. I probably should have offered to give them away. But now they’re gone.

The question now, is what to do about the DVD cases. If ever I’m so poor that I want to flog off my collection on eBay they’ll probably need cases right?

The Oatmeal on oversharing

The Oatmeal has a little cartoon featuring ten things not to Twitter about. There, in cartoon glory, is a reminder about oversharing. Don’t do it people.

It’s a good list. Familiarise yourself with it. Submit to its authority.

How to come up with a ministry job title

Mark Driscoll just wants to be a pastor. No. Wait. A preaching pastor. His executive pastor can do the other stuff…

Ministry titles are dumb. The title “pastor” is pretty dumb too. It’s a role not a title. Mikey ranted about this the other day. I agree.

But back to Driscoll – who is sick of people not wanting to be a pastor. So he put together this little tool for selecting a hip and relevant title so that you can “shepherd” your merry band of “Christ followers”…

Tuper Tario

I have written a lot about Tetris. I have written a lot about Mario. This site went one better. It combined the two into an online flash game. You build the level for Mario using Tetris. Awesome.
