Awesome in a Can

June 14, 2011 by

We are well and truly overdue for a Post of Awesome… There is so much internet awesome out there, and so little time to spread the word!! However, as a public service, and as I’m not terribly busy today… here it is… for your reading/viewing/listening pleasure…

Video of Awesome – Gumball Wars – I came across this via Kuriositas a wonderful collection of web curiosities! I love the personality that’s visible in the gumball machines. All created digitially in Maya. So clever, and cute (and, let’s face it, retro… what’s not to love!)

Image of Awesome – Colorful Cosmos I just love the colours and the stunning clarity of this macro shot – a beautiful dandelion, wet with dew. Kind of puts me in mind of the Dr Seuss story about the Whos in Whoville (Horton hears a Who)

Surf’s Up – The Hobbit Blog – As if it wasn’t enough that I’ve got one ‘Nerd Friendly’ entry in this list, here’s another… Oh my… how good is it to keep up to date with what’s happening on the Hobbit set… I was late to any kind of appreciation of the LOTR movies, there’s no way I’m going to be late to this one…

Post of Note – Short Illustrated History of the Nerd – What every nerd adjacent person should know, just in case they get asked… “Muuum… where did I come from?!”

Reading – Gone Tomorrow (Jack Reacher #13). I have been devouring Lee Child’s ‘Jack Reacher’ novels since I came across them, either by solid real life books, audio books or the Kindle… whatever I can lay my hands on. Yes, by the time you get to number 7 or 8, particularly if you read them one after the other, they’re a little formulaic… but OMG… Jack Reacher is the thinking (and seeing) woman’s hero… *swoons*

Listening – The Sowers Group – Cheza (Dance) – [Links to iTunes]. My former singing teacher suggested via facebook that we get a posse together to go hear these guys, and given my propensity to devour any music that sounds remotely African, I leapt at the chance. I was, in no way, disappointed. Yes, they’re a God fearing/promoting band which I’m sure is a little unusual for the Basement – but the music was fantastic, whichever way you hear it, and regardless of your position on ‘faith based’ music they were utterly wonderful and left you wanting more, and wishing you weren’t white and inhibited on the dance floor!

Awesomer

No really, this is the emoticon for 'awesome'.
Awesome

It’s about time there was less Christmas around here and I shared some of the currently awesome stuff I’ve been into of late…

[waits till everyone is up off the floor after the shock of 2 posts in one week…]

Here goes…

Currently Reading: God, Actually: Why God Probably Exists, Why Jesus Was Probably Divine, and Why the ‘Rational’ Objections to Religion are Unconvincing.Ok… yes, this is apparently heavy duty reading, it’s no Marian Keyes’ that’s for sure but it’s interesting. I appear to be surrounded these days by people who have subscribed to the opinions of Dawkins, Hitchens and their ilk, so it seems appropriate to have some kind of alternate explanation for my faith opposed to their atheism. This book is very useful in that regard and isn’t at all preachy or wishy washy.

Currently listening to: Muse: The Resistance. I have such eclectic taste… no, really… classical music at one end and Muse, Silverchair, and Evanescence at the other… Muse is my (I know, I’m late to the party) latest find and it’s been really hard to listen to anything else…

Picture Perfect: The Semeru. Go, lose yourself in this picture. You won’t be sorry.

Video of Awesome: Could have been a Love story. A serious ‘advertisement’ for taking a risk and putting yourself out there… How many of these conversations have you had that you wished you hadn’t? Yeah, me too…

Surf’s Up: An up to date take on the classic Mix Tape. I absolutely love this site, some very funky cool things!!! As I’m an eighties girl I saw these and thought they were absolutely perfect… I remember having a stack of mix tapes of songs I’d recorded from the radio… this is such a cute way to recreate that…

Posts of Note: What Katie Ate – Sydney Food Blogger and stunning photography. Go forth, observe, absorb and drool. Stunning pix and beautiful food, and mostly in Sydney… so completely achievable [snort] at home… (watches the kilos pile back on)…

You’re welcome.

Christmas of Awesome

December 18, 2010 by

It’s time now for the inaugural Christmas Post of Awesome just in time for the close of 2010. It’s been an amazing year for me, I’ll post about that in time for the New Year, so for now I thought it fitting to post some links of Christmas Awesome I’ve come across in the last few weeks.

Enjoy! And May you and all your loved ones have a happy and joyful Christmas.


Video of Awesome – Digital Christmas

Quite Possibly what it might be like if the 1st Century story took place in the 21st Century… Christmas 2.0

Post of Note – Santa Tracker
This is the US Military official Santa Tracker – bookmark the page so you can check in on Christmas Even and see just how far around the Globe Santa has to go to get to your place!

Surf’s Up – Advent Calendar
OK, I’ll confess to a shade of self promotion here and point you (if you’ve not already seen it) to the Advent Calendar I trot out every year – I still love it!! It’s becoming a tradition with my Australian Family it’s kinda cute that they get a kick out of it still …
Christmas Cross Stitch Countdown

Listening to – Ultra Lounge, Christmas Cocktails Volume 1.
I really can’t get excited about the cheesy/tired/trite versions of Christmas Carols that get blasted over sound systems in shopping malls, and dang it, even in some churches, every year. I was introduced to Ultra Lounge a few years ago and THIS is my go to Christmas CD, no, not much that’s traditional about it at all and it TOTALLY appeals to my retro loving little heart… check it out, it’s gorgeous!!! Ultra Lounge, Christmas Cocktails Volume 1.

Reading – The Nativity – Luke Chapter 2

I can’t go past this chapter of the Bible at this time of the year; don’t freak out, it won’t kill you to read one chapter just as a reminder of how this whole this Christmas thing got started – it’s in straightforward English too…
Luke Chapter 2, The Message

Image(s) of Awesome – The Big Picture – Beginning to Look a lot like Christmas.
I love the Big Picture, a regularly updated gallery of stunning Pictures – here’s their Christmas 2010 version… Enjoy, and go all the way to the end, that last one’s my favourite The Big Picture – Christmas 2010
