Stuff (Nathan's News)

It was Easter! And God put a display of his power (okay so not a cross in the sky, but something as cool and that IS a photo of it in a way took me like an hour to do that just kneeling with my camera pointed at the sky). I'll leave you to wonder at it for a little bit.

And on another happy note, Brisbane Lions (the team I barrack for) is doing exceptionally well with a percentage around 180%! (even if it's only up to round 3)

And at some website (warholizer) I made this picture (it's me in the suit from a previous video I did):
Which I think is really cool.

Especially when you make 6 of them (every one of them is unique) and use this to do this:

Cool Slideshows

which I think is really cool.

And, to yet another happy note, I was awarded the Thinking Blog Award by Julie. Apparently my Easter story (that had nothing to do with Easter per se was impressive and thought provoking which is nice to know.

I don't have time to add my 5 people as I'll be at Nick's for the next 2 days and I've got to go NOW!

For those of you who don't get this; I feel sorry for you.

Let the World Know That Hazelton Takes its Laws Seriously!

Hazleton has laws (currently pending because of a lawsuit) that strictly ban illegal imigrants. Someone out there has realised that a certain man breaks those laws, and want to stop him. The following are extracts from the website: http://www.nosantaforhazleton.com/welcome.html

Press Realease:

December 19, 2006For Immediate Release

PA Town to Ban Santa Because He is Undocumented Worker

The people of Hazleton, PA are proud to announce a citizen-organized public awareness campaign called "No Santa for Hazleton." The campaign will use Santa Claus' status as America's most-loved illegal worker to demonstrate Hazleton's new "zero tolerance" policy toward illegal aliens.
Hazleton has been at the forefront of the War on Immigration since this past summer, when, in response to a surge in illegal immigration, the city passed its “Illegal Immigrant Relief Act." The public response was immediate and overwhelmingly positive. Mayor Lou Barletta’s heroics gained the town national attention, including appearances on '60 Minutes' and CNN’s 'Lou Dobbs Tonight.' Following Hazelton’s example, over 30 other towns across America have passed or are considering similar laws to drive out illegal immigration and labor.
This Christmas, a grassroots coalition of concerned citizens and elected officials have come together to conduct a public awareness campaign against the nation’s most prominent undocumented worker: Santa Claus. The group intends to keep Santa out of Hazleton this Christmas, as he represents everything the town has rallied around Mayor Barletta to oppose. According to the Mayor, "We are waging a war of culture, and Santa is a dangerous idea whose reign must be put to an end."
The group's website lists the following evidence against Santa Claus:

•Santa is not an American nor is he legally recognized for residency or occupational purposes in this country. Oblivious to this fact, millions of Americans delight in inviting him into their homes and allowing him to work unsupervised every year. Children and the elderly are especially vulnerable to his costume and demeanor.

•Santa does not work alone, but employs hundreds to thousands of elves in what are clearly described as sweatshop or slave labor-type conditions. This takes jobs away from honest and hard-working Americans who play by the rules.

Appearing unlawfully for too long to remember, Santa Claus has come to represent a range of labor practices that undercut the American workforce in favor of unfair foreign competition or informal domestic laborers. Across America, the economies of small cities like Hazleton have been decimated as a result.
For further information, the group has launched a website, www.NoSantaForHazelton.com, which will serve as a resource for the town and a model for other towns to adopt in a national movement. The website will be used to collect donations to air a television advertisement the group has prepared, but includes additional features such as tips for parents to talk to their children about Santa, and an internet action tool for people of all ages to send letters to Santa asking him to stay away. In Hazleton, as the No Santa For Hazleton looks boldy to the future, this Christmas promises to be like no other.

That's dedication for you!

Santa and Pranks (two more links I found recently)

These are just some other links I found yesterday.

I am proud of the Air Services Australia for working so closely with Santa Clause in making safer flights and sleigh for him. You can find out all of Santa's recent media releases, the proposed (and excepted by some international board) flight path, the training program he himself uses etc. You can find the media releases here.

This is a website I recently found called the museum of hoaxes and is really good.

Eepybird.com update

I'm not sure if you know what it is and if so I'm not sure you've ever seen it and if so I'm not sure you even care. But: www.eepybird.com has created a new video and has released an exciting preview. I can't wait.

Take A Look At This

This is a really interesting thing which I think is some sort of visual simulation thingy that shows the co2 emitions, deaths and births in all the countries around the world. I think it is really good besides the fact that it makes Australia look near non-existent. Anyway, I recommend the following website if you have ADSL/Broadband/fast internet:

Actually, while we are on the subject go to www.eepybird.com too.

Anyway, I have posted a couple of jokes on my blog that I have to admit weren't from real life and were from a subscription to www.cybersalt.org or the Pastor Tim's webiste (google it it is worth it).

And anyway, this is one of the jokes: "A lady on a commuter train was reading a newspaper article about life and death statistics. Fascinated, she turned to the man next to her and said, "Did you know that every time I breathe somebody dies?""Really!?" he said, "Have you tried mouthwash?"
