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.

Let your “I do” have a real ring to it

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.

Get cremed

Cadbury Creme Eggs are a masterpiece of Eastery goodness. There’s a Facebook group calling for them to be sold all year round – and I’m all for that.

Cadbury ran a pretty awesome “egg death” marketing campaign where fans had to bring about the untimely demise of their favourite culinary creation.

Here’s something special – make sure you watch right until the gooey end.

Shirt of tomorrow: Seinfeld references

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.

The Cable Guy

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…

UrbanTrend: Fruity idea

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?

Get your funk on

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…

A picture painted by 1000 words

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.

Our daily Fred: Salt’n’Pepper

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.

Parenting with teeth

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.

Austentatious

I’ve never been a Jane Austen fan. I have no desire to relive the Elizabethian era or glamourise a time where a man in posession of a fortune may be in want of a wife. Unless of course the glorification of said time were a gorification – complete with brain eating zombies. Everybody loves a brain eating zombie romance. It’s what made Shaun of the Dead so appealing. From memory it was marketed as a Rom-Zom-Com – a Romantic Zombie Comedy. 

I was no doubt scarred as a child playing too much “Horror Zombies From the Crypt” (download from abandonia) on the Amiga. 

But what’s all this about zombies you ask? Particularly because I started off talking about Jane Austen. Oh yes. If you would prefer Pride and Prejudice retold with the awesome upgrade package – namely zombies wreaking havoc throughout the plot – now you can. Thanks to ThinkGeek.

UrbanTrend: Beerdometer

Ever wanted to track how many beers you’ve had. Ever. And how many you’ve doled out to others. Perhaps you’ll need two of these. One for you, and one for your friends.

Our daily Fred: Ice is nice

Some ice is nicer. Like ice made in these – click the image for the link.

And if you want an ice cold shot – but don’t want to cram your shot into a shot glass larger than 30mL you might want to try this:
