Here are some interesting Joomla blog posts I found during week 24.
This week, Brian Teeman is all about 2010 Football World Cup and he links it to Joomla in a fun way.
There's also a piece on Mootools 1.2, a J and Beyond retrospective by JoomlaWorks and a look at how to deploy large-scale websites with Joomla.
Enjoy!
Brianteeman: The Joomla World Cup
Written by Brian Teeman
As the world prepares for a four week onslaught of football (sorry my American friends but it is football not soccer and this is a world championship that includes countries other than the USA) I thought it would be time for a bit if fun.

Howtojoomla: Deploying Large-Scale Websites with Joomla - Part 1: An Interview with Mitch Pirtle
