I linked to this in Del.icio.us, but it’s too good not to blog about.
Try on How to Fold a Fitted Sheet or How to Fold a Broadsheet Newspaper.

These are sweet. I’d go for the Ultraman one, if I were prepared to spend US$36 on a notebook.

With jaunty reference to my previous post, here it is. 988 Megabytes of glory: So, to some interesting data. First, viewing the concordance shows me that, disregarding conjunctions and prepositions, the highest count goes to the word ‘God’ with 14,601 occurrences in Briefing issues 000-300 (000 was the sneak-peak).

I just had a great idea. I’ve been using the Most Excellent DEVONthink to compile a massive, fully cross-referenced database of everything Christian or Bible-related that I have ever collected or written.

This is a great introduction to the benefit of using Google Docs for working together in an office environment. For churches, I’m thinking, service outlines, puppet show scripts, mission week timetables, rosters (damn them), planning papers for events, etc etc. This could even be a beachhead for teamwork in ministry teams, through which they begin [...]

By now you would know our family is pretty keen on ways to make life more productive. I find Real Simple a treasure trove of hints and tips for managing household life. And my inner nerd was in raptures with this fantastic periodic table of household chores. But seriously, I’m pretty sure housework [...]

Ok, so there’s going to be a Facebook backlash, as people realise how much time they’re spending adding and using ridiculous applications on their profiles, responding to meaningless wall posts they’ve just been notified about via email, and as they see what sort of information about them is being made available online. So here’s some [...]
