My chum Cookie has always been a comedy kindred spirit. This exceedingly amusing blog posting on Cookie’s Days further reinforces that.  

If everybody looked the same November 8, 2010

This is a bit weird. Apparently lots of people were snapped here in Sydney and conglomerated together to get a generalised vision of Sydney’s populous. After what must have been the most epic piece of Photoshop, an average face emerged. I think the woman looks like Rosamund Pike the bond girl, but with slightly squintier [...]

In-font-ile October 21, 2010

I loathe Comic Sans. It is awfully cutesy (in a bad way, not a typically English, luvvy way), it has become a contrived way of making something look ‘friendly’, it is almost always inappropriately used (if it is ever appropriate), I could go on… Turns out there are many others who do too. I came [...]

New dimension October 21, 2010

The Beeb have just released this new site that helps you get an idea of the scale of some things. If like me, you struggle to visualise how big the Great Wall of China is, then this site will sort you out. By overlaying images of significantly sized things from history onto a map of [...]

This stuff is totally brilliant. You saw it here first.

Get involved August 11, 2010

Today is the day to email your local election candidate here in Australia about: ‘The Poverty Question’ Details are here. I’ve just emailed our Tone, Mr T to the A-dubble-b-o-dubble-t. Even if you are in the UK you could too. [The link you need to copy and paste is http://www.micahchallenge.org.au/thepovertyquestion if you are having PC [...]

Community worth staying in August 9, 2010

A few days ago a fello blogger wrote a post in response to this facebook message by a lady called Anne Rice: In the name of Christ, I refuse to be anti-gay. I refuse to be anti-feminist. I refuse to be anti-artificial birth control. I refuse to be anti-Democrat. I refuse to be anti-secular humanism. [...]

Poor memory August 9, 2010

This is a post mainly for the Australian readers of Paronymous Christos, but those back home in the UK can get involved too, as this is a global issue. Micah Challenge Australia is urging government not to forget its responsibility to the world’s poor as it considers prospective policies in light of the upcoming election. [...]

On Monday this week I had the privilege of going to shadow the Chaplain at this school just up the coast. Northern Beaches Christian School is a fantastic place, I was totally gripped with what can only be described as ‘school envy’ when there. I wanted to be 4 again and be going back to [...]

Love this.

Glo-ing review July 25, 2010

I learn software more easily than anything else it seems, which makes me a certifiable member of Geeks Global, but does also mean that I am very excited about this. Glo is an interactive software Bible that offers the user much more than just text on a screen. There are videos maps, timelines and an [...]

We’ve all done it July 18, 2010

We’ve all had a time when we’ve craved a bit of celebritynessness. If you say you haven’t then I’ll respect that, but I’d ask you to be truly honest with yourself, have you never craved a little more recognition, wealth, status? It’s all on a scale. And if you’ve not craved a bit of the [...]

It’s interesting what people will say when they don’t have to put a name to it. Courage is underrated these days. Dear Blank, Please Blank

Stylin June 27, 2010

I am really loving this look taken straight form catwalks of Paris fashion week and designed by Junya Watanabe. Far be it from me to categorise myself as ‘in thread with the fashionistas’ (I leave that to this friend of mine who is doing a PhD in fashion – yeah I know, how cool), but [...]

Thankfully this service is more in line with Jesus’ definition.
