Ahh Lego and Super Mario Bros, and Lego and Pacman… Gold.
Pacman arrives about a minute in to this one…

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.
Grammar Nazis and homophones
Yeah. Take that you “your/you’re”, “its/it’s” and “there/their/they’re” grammar nazis.
Everybody makes mistakes. Especially with homophones. Maybe words that are homophones should have little pink triangles inserted into the spelling. That’d keep you Nazis happy. Wouldn’t it. Anyone who dares to write things online should be sent to “concentration” camp…
Good news
Good news people. If all goes according to plan I stand to receive $45 million in coming weeks. No, I haven’t bought a ticket in the record lottery draw – I have received correspondence from friends in Ghana, China and Scotland – all offering me $15 million for participating in transactions of various legality.
I will update you with my progress accordingly.

I missed this post of Simone’s the other day – but it’s great. I commend it to you. Both as a tip for communicating ideas – and for not being an airy fairy song leader at church…
Coffee table cartography
If you’ve got a favourite piece of the world you want immortalised in coffee table form in your living room then this is for you. It will take the cartographic features of any place on the planet and turn it into a uniquely customised piece of furniture.
There are heaps of other customisable products from the same company.
How Tetris Works
Producing piece after piece of blocked awesomeness is no mean feat – ever wondered where those Tetris blocks come from… well now you know…
TETRIS CF #1 from WooDUS on Vimeo.

Noted aggression
This is the most awesome Flickr collection ever. Well, at least for today. A collection of “passive aggressive notes” left on public noticeboards.
Some of my favourites…
Questions from answers
No, this isn’t a post about Jeopardy. Have you ever seen a billboard that just didn’t make sense? Have you ever seen one of those billboards that came from a Christian organisation? Well, here’s one. So now you can answer “yes” to both those questions… It makes no sense to me at all – perhaps you can explain it to me.
Answers in Genesis even made this into a video advert on YouTube. I think they’re suggesting that if you’re not a Christian you’re likely to shoot people because you don’t really care about them – or that people who don’t believe in God are more likely to shoot you because they don’t care about you.
It’s just odd and pretty screwy. Though I’d expect that from these guys. They’re Christianity’s Richard Dawkins.
Ninja turtle
One of our pet turtles has a severe case of ninjavitis. He thinks he’s a ninja. I won’t show him this photo…
Found here.
Cake cartography
It’s been a while since the last geeky cake post. So here you go. A Mario Cart cake. From Flickr.
There’s a “backfire” pun here somewhere
Malcolm Turnbull’s tenacious UteGate attacks were a serious miscalculation. It seems that it’s not a case of the public “not caring” about the issue – but rather caring that they had to continue putting up with an issue that nobody but Turnbull cared about.
He’s now a less popular leader than Costello (who has announced his retirement) and Joe Hockey. As usual, Peter Hartcher’s SMH analysis is worth a read.
Stumped
Sometimes people manage to find a superb silver lining to situations I can’t imagine dealing with. Like turning a lost arm into this…
From here – but there are some more disturbing images there… so be warned.
Home Alone
Robyn’s on the farm until Wednesday with her folks. I’m home alone. I have set booby traps accordingly. Those wet bandits aren’t going to catch me unawares.
I am “celebrating” by staying up late, drinking beer, eating fast food for my meals and hopefully playing some computer games tomorrow… and I’m blogging, obviously.
No laughing matter
You know what’s not funny – and hasn’t been for weeks – every time someone mentions the fact that they have cold or flu like symptoms somebody in the audience will invariably make reference to Swine Flu.
It’s not funny because Swine Flu is a serious topic – it’s not funny because when everybody comes up with the same lame joke the joke is dead.
There are funny Swine Flu jokes around – look them up. Suggesting that a cough is indicative of Swine Flu is at best derivative – you’re also at least a month behind the curve of public opinion if you think it’s still interestingly or topically humourous.
Please stop.
Shirt of the Day two – complete with bongos
Battery operated shirts are awesome – except when you put them in the wash.
Especially shirts with built in percussion. These bongos work.
