It has been absolutely ages since I posted a summary, and quite a bit has happened!

I took a bit of a break from blogging thanks to a lot happening in my life, and I think that I’ll occasionally take breaks and not post for a week or so. But I’d like to keep blogging daily as much as I can. It’s fun, and I like thinking.

Below is a picture that I took of Sydney Uni on one of the many recent cold days.

And now, here are all 12 of my most recent posts from calumhenderson.com (If you haven’t subscribed, you should do it here)

Here’s what has been happening on calumhenderson.com recently.

If you’re new to this, you may be wondering what a blog is. A blog is basically a really tiny personal news site thing. If you’re wondering why I do this, then read this post on why I blog.

Every week or so I write one of these summaries, including what I have written here, as well as including some of the articles that I have been reading online recently.

If you read regularly, firstly thank you, and secondly, I wont be posting as regularly for the next few weeks as I’m hectically busy with Uni work, and let’s face it, that’s more important than this.

Anyway, below are my most recent posts here on calumhenderson.com

• Ancon 2010 Has Launched
• KYCK This Weekend
• At KYCK
• PPT Tip #3 | Don’t Read
• Song Leading #2
• Teachers Teach Ethics
• KYCK 2010 Reflections
• Tweets From SWED Weekend Away

And here’s what I’ve been reading (via delicious bookmarks)

• Honest Mobile Email Signatures
• What the iPad, Kindle, and Nook Could Never Be…
• SRE debate: agendas need untangling
• The Education Minister’s white lie
• Will Christians thank Steve Jobs?
• Why I’m angry with YouTube and the IPL
• 10 SEO Myths Ministries Need to Avoid Like the Plague

Thanks for reading!

Wow, 10 summaries, glad to have a series of mine follow through past 2 or 3 posts.

I’m getting into a busy time at Uni with tons of assessments for a few weeks so blogging and Twittering might not happen daily. But I’ll keep trying to be disciplined in posting as a good practice of discipline.

Below is another posterous photo. This is a more than 2m high movie ad thing that my fiance and I got for my sister as a Christmas present, it is currently set up in our home and taking up far to much (hillarious) space.

It’s nearly Easter! A great holiday for a life changing occasion.

Each week I’m going to put one of my Posterous photos in these posts, below is one of them.

I made sushi for Bible study last week

Welcome to another summary of my blog, with all the posts from the last week or so, as well as some of the sites/blogs/articles that I have been reading.

In site news… During the week I added two banners to the right side of my blog, you can click on them to view two of my longer post series. I also added a new plugin to allow you to easily view large photos.

Last week I reviewed “What’s In The Bible?”. A new DVD series for kids by VeggieTales creator, Phil Vischer. You can read that review here.

As part of the review, I was given two certificates to give away, each for a DVD. So here are the two competition winners…

• “Let My People Go” – Karla
• “In The Beginning” – Joel A Moroney

Congratulations to both of you!

In order to determine the winners I pretty much followed the procedure set out by Steve Kryger in his post, “How to select a competition winner at random“.

I’ll have sent out emails to the winners. Thanks to all who entered!

And for those of you who didn’t win, you can download some colouring in pages by clicking here. Colouring in is always fun…
