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.
UrbanTrend: Let the word dwell in you
This post will no doubt see me excommunicated by the Southern Baptists. Oh well. I’ll drink to that. From my awesome bible flask.
Our daily Fred: eye want candy
If you’re not convinced that Fred and Friends are the producers of the coolest range of product range available on the interwebs then maybe you should take a lolly from this bag jar, and sit back. They just get cooler from here.
But all that lolly munching will be costly to your teeth – so you’ll need to go to the dentist. Who’ll no doubt be storing their own stash in something as innocuous as this… sweet tooth.

Mr DEEDs
The Bligh Government has just released its new public service structure. They’re “streamlining” 23 departments. One super department is the Department of Employment and Economic Development. Which will no doubt become DEED. Andrew Fraser as minister for that department will from now on, in these here parts, be referred to as Mr DEEDs.
That is all.
You can take the girl out of the country
But as it turns out – you can’t take the “ladette” out of the girl. Despite what TV might attempt to teach you.
We watch Ladette to Lady. It continues to be one of my wife’s favourite programs… so we watched the reunion special the other night. What we didn’t see – but what those staying at the hotel the girls were reunited to did – was this:
“A hotel source confirms the ladettes drew at least a dozen complaints after having a topless romp in the hotel swimming pool at 1.30am, throwing objects from windows and trashing a hotel room, resulting in a cleaning bill worth several hundred dollars. “
The SMH story also demonstrates that the Herald’s sub editing department has an issue captioning people with just their first names… see below
The Australian Ladettes ... students (from left to right) Nicole Skye, Emily Krisyn, Bianca Maria, Sarah Zoe, in class with teacher Mrs Liz Brewer.
Adventures in TV
We caught Lawrence Leung’s Choose Your Own Adventure last night on the ABC (post Gruen Transfer). It made me laugh until I cried. It’s Safranesque – and produced by the Chaser team.
If you missed it you can watch it here thanks to the magic of iView.
Very funny. I’ll never be able to pick up a copy of the Queensland Presbyterian newspaper, New Directions, again without catching subliminal messages.
One of my favourite bits was when his mum told him what he was doing (trying to track down the object of his grade 3 affections) was creepy.
Here’s the trailer. It uses lego. He’s also a Rubiks Cube master. And used that to get a girl’s phone number. Chicks dig guys with skillz.
An ode to one
Channel Ten is launching a new. Free. 24 hour dedicated digital sports channel today. That’s pretty exciting. I’ve been waiting for this for a while – and Craig kindly reminded me with his post.
But. It seems we may not be immediately getting it in the regions…
“Network Ten broadcasts ONE in our markets of Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth. For viewers outside those areas, our programs are carried by local affiliates.
We understand our affiliates are progressing well towards carrying ONE in their markets but for further information please contact:
– If your station is a Southern Cross station, please call Southern Cross TV on (02) 6242 2400
– If not, please contact WIN’s head office on (02) 4223 4199.”
But not to worry readers – I’ve contacted my contact at Macquarie Southern Cross and will let you know as soon as I find out.
I hope this isn’t one of those examples of regional areas losing out through the tyranny of distance.

Our daily Fred: The breakfast edition
Two products for today’s email – they’re not sold as a set but will no doubt bring countless minutes of joy to your breakfast routine.
By the way, did you hear the one about the little burnt cornflake?*
Here’s the milk jug… in a convenient half pint size.
And now, the cereal bowl – remember, no crying over spilt milk, but how could you if the spillage was permanently capture in such a stylish fashion.
*I can’t tell you the rest this time… it’s a cereal.
Whoops
Sometimes letting a computer do all your work for you seems like a good idea. Other times it just gets you in trouble.
“The parents of a girl who died suddenly two months ago have been sent a letter from her school demanding she improves her attendance.”
“The letter – dated March 16 – said `students must have at least 92 per cent attendance and Megan’s is currently 60.4pc”
“At the time of her death, headteacher Mr Ward led tributes to Megan. He said: “Megan was a popular, bright girl, with a promising future ahead of her.”
Tetris in real life…
This microscopic Tetris was created using 42 glass microspheres (1 μm or 0.001 mm diameter) in a 25 μm x 20 μm sized area under a microscope. They’re then pulled around through the miracles of modern computer technology. I for one am glad research dollars are being spent on this sort of thing.

Finally – a use for the stockpile of instant coffee in the back of your pantry.
I can’t for the life of me understand why the gourmet yoghurt I like to eat is so expensive. Maybe I should make my own.
Useful. But obscure.
