Goodshirt were a cool Kiwi band that Australia never managed to claim. They had this cool song called “Sophie” that had a very cool acoustic version.
But I digress. Glennz.com is my current favourite shirt site (I haven’t bought any yet – but I’d like to. Thanks mostly to these:
Experimental Music
Self Maintenance
Extreme Beginnings
Evolution
After Hours
If anyone buying me Christmas or birthday presents hasn’t done so yet – you can’t go wrong with a good novelty T-Shirt.
I’m almost ready to pull the switch to my very own wordpress.org blog at nathanintownsville.com. Check it out – and let me know what you think of the very clean template. I am thinking about including some colour – but haven’t really figured out where yet – or what I’d change.
December 15, 2008 – I’d add coffeesnobs.com.au to this list for help with coffee related problems…
December 15, 2008 – “Headlines effect your bottom line” would have been a better title on this Seth post on the value of headlines.
December 15, 2008 – To exposit or not to exposit? Listened to some Mark Driscoll and John Piper in the car on the weekend. I’m leaning towards systematics as the best model of preaching to contemporary (or young) audiences – but believe expository preaching has its place. The comments from our car were that Driscoll took lots of liberties with the text – but provided good Godly wisdom. It was one of his Song of Songs talks.
I just booked flights for the return leg of our Christmas holidays with Virgin Blue. Their stupid booking system screwed me out of $50. If you search for tickets for 2 passengers and they’ve only got one flight available at the cheap rate of $89 they’ll return a search result requiring you to pay $150 for both. That’s extortion. So I went to make simultaneous bookings at $89*. Much more reasonable. Things were looking good. I managed to complete booking one at the $89 level (plus booking fee and baggage so $100 in total). Then when I went to complete the second booking at the $89 dollar level it told me someone else (me obviously) had booked that seat. Retards. What happened to the contract principle of offer and acceptance. I had to book again at $150. Plus extra costs for baggage and credit card fees. I hate airlines. At least I didn’t pay $300 plus taxes. Stupid VirginBlue – I hope their media monitoring services pick up this rant and they act accordingly. But they’ll probably cancel my flight.
End of rant.
*without baggage, credit card fees and optional carbon offsets… oh and the fee you can pay for the legroom available in an emergency exit row.

I’m cutting back on my GReader subscriptions – far too many for me to handle.
I registered nathanintownsville.com yesterday with Dedicated Host. Thanks to an awesome coupon deal through Oz Bargain offering 90% off forever on hosting and domain registration.
Stay tuned for news on my movement to that domain – but in the meantime, $2 a month for 5GB and 15GB of data transfer seems like a good deal to me. The deal finishes tomorrow.
Have you ever had that thing. That mental blank where you can’t remember what word you’re after but can remember how to describe it. Of course you have. Well, the Reverse Dictionary is here to save the day. Just type your description and away it goes. Pretty useful. I was looking for something like this a while ago – it’s like a thesaurus, only with multiple input fields.
If your investment banker was spending an inordinate amount of money on three trips to space in the middle of a “global economic crisis” would you change banks? His name is Per Wimmer, he’s lined up to be the first space tourist. He runs an investment bank.
In brief, Per Wimmer is a global financier, an entrepreneur, an adventurer, a pioneer and a philanthropist – or, as a commentator has argued, a true “Indiana Jones meets 007 James Bond.”
Facebook has a tool called “Lexicon” that allows you to track the popularity of any word or phrase used on user’s walls. “Your mum“, not surprisingly, is quite popular – but spiked dramatically on the first of September. It will be much more useful when the switch is made to the “New Lexicon” where you’ll be able to dig a little deeper into the data.
I like the new google reader layout. In fact I like most of the things about google reader. I’m turning into a regular google fan boy.
But again, oddly compelling.
