			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m a frequent online buyer and been enjoying buying Tees on the Internet because that&#8217;s probably the only way I&#8217;m rest assured the design will never duplicate whenever I&#8217;m walking on the streets. Few weeks ago I was recommended by friend to check out an online T-shirt store &#8211; <a href="http://hongki.at/dbh"><strong>Design By Humans</strong></a> and I gotta say these folks got a great collection. I spend hours browsing through these nice designs and settled with 7 pieces of t-shirts.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what I have ordered.</p>
<p><strong>Eye Of Providence</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://hongki.at/dbh"><img src="http://hongkiat.s3.amazonaws.com/design-by-humans/Eye-Of-Providence.jpg" width="500" height="475" /></a></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://hongki.at/dbh">CMYK?</a></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://hongki.at/dbh"><img src="http://hongkiat.s3.amazonaws.com/design-by-humans/cmyk.jpg" width="500" height="475" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-2548"></span></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://hongki.at/dbh">Once upon a time</a></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://hongki.at/dbh"><img src="http://hongkiat.s3.amazonaws.com/design-by-humans/Once-upon-a-time.jpg" width="500" height="475" /></a></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://hongki.at/dbh">a is for apple</a></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://hongki.at/dbh"><img src="http://hongkiat.s3.amazonaws.com/design-by-humans/a-is-for-apple.jpg" width="500" height="475" /></a></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://hongki.at/dbh">Audio Visual</a></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://hongki.at/dbh"><img src="http://hongkiat.s3.amazonaws.com/design-by-humans/Audio-Visual.jpg" width="500" height="475" /></a></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://hongki.at/dbh">Some things can&#8217;t be saved</a></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://hongki.at/dbh"><img src="http://hongkiat.s3.amazonaws.com/design-by-humans/Some-things-can't-be-saved.jpg" width="500" height="475" /></a></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://hongki.at/dbh">It&#8217;s a Lovely Death</a></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://hongki.at/dbh"><img src="http://hongkiat.s3.amazonaws.com/design-by-humans/It's-a-Lovely-Death.jpg" width="500" height="475" /></a></p>
<p><strong>DBH t-shirts range from $17 to $25 per piece</strong>, quite reasonable in my point of view. Any order of $70 or more will get free shipping, regardlessly US or international. Cool deal huh! My total cost for 7 tees are $131.00 with another additional $29.88 shipping fee. <em>Why the shipping fees?</em> Because I want to receive them faster. <a href="http://www.designbyhumans.com/shop/shipping_and_returns/">Click here</a> to read more about the shipping.</p>
<p><a href="http://hongki.at/dbh"><img src="http://hongkiat.s3.amazonaws.com/design-by-humans/dbh-purchase.jpg" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>You can <strong>earn some DBH points in exchange of some tees</strong> by recommending DBH and their cool tees to friends.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Refer a friend to Design By Hümans and get 2 DBH Dollars added to your account if the referral results in a sale. Also, earn 1 DBH Dollar each time you upload a photo of yourself wearing a tee that you purchased here at Design By Hümans.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>So ready for  second round of purchase :-)</p>

For those whom countries only broadcast of paid TV and you&#8217;re not subscribe to, this should be a good news. It&#8217;s also a great news for white collars to take a break off work to go online and catch some live updates.

<p>If you are kicking back this weekend in front of your computer and got nothing interesting sites to surf, check out this site &#8211; Wordle.net. Wordle is a site that generates word clouds (similar to the tag clouds used in blogs) off any text, RSS feed, del.icio.us tag or URL you provide. The image above is an example of what I&#8217;ve got after keying the URL http://www.hongkiat.com</p>
<p><span id="more-1693"></span></p>
<p>Wordle allows you to further customize the font, layout and color. You can even save it to a public gallery.</p>
<h4>Turn it into a wallpaper</h4>
<p>Generating just a text cloud sound boring, so I&#8217;ve decided to turn it into a wallpaper. Here&#8217;s how you do it, assuming you had your text cloud created.</p>
<ol>
<li>Hit the Print button, save it as PDF.
<p>
<img src="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/print-wordle.png" width="400" height="259" alt="print-wordle.png" />
</p>
</li>
<li>Open up the PDF in Photoshop or any other similar application (make sure the resolution is 300)</li>
<li>Crop it to the the match your desktop screen size.</li>
</ol>
<p>And there you go, a text cloud wallpaper made from the text of your site.</p>

<p>Here&#8217;s 2 Safari browser bookmarklets I stumble upon. The first one allows you to flip the website in Safari upside down, while the second allows you to enter any dimension you prefer. Just drag these following bookmarklets to your Safari browser bookmark toolbar.</p>
<p><a href="javascript:document.body.style['-webkit-transform']='rotate(180deg)'">Flip</a> | <a href="javascript:document.body.style['-webkit-transform']='rotate('+prompt('degrees',180)+'deg)'">Flip 2</a></p>

<p>Here&#8217;s a real good site to put your typing skills to a test. How <a href="http://play.typeracer.com/" rel="nofollow">Typeracer</a> works is, you are represented as a car, competing against other cars (other users) and how fast you guys can reach the finishing point depends on how fast you can type. You&#8217;ll need to finish up the provided sentence with totally no mistake at all.</p>
<p><span id="more-1193"></span></p>
<p>If you are not interested in competing against other players, you can brush up your typing skills by practicing alone. The best typer so far on the hall of fame is capable of typing 220 words per minutes, now that&#8217;s really fast.</p>

These folks has released videos and gameplays on both <em>Terran</em> and <em>Protoss</em> tribe but kept Zerg&#8217;s information rather secretive for quite a long while. For the <em>Zerg</em> fans, <strong>Blizzard</strong> has recently released the &#8216;<strong>Zerg Reveal Trailer</strong>&#8216;, something to quench your thirst of curiosity before official release of Starcraft II.</p>

<p>Just when you are typing comfortably on your laptop while it rest nicely on your lap, don&#8217;t start getting idea that this is only made available thanks to the technology revolution made possible these recent decades. The image above is an laptop ad from the 1893, perhaps the first laptop ever.</p>
<p><span id="more-1116"></span></p>
<p>This typewriter measures at 12 inches long by 6-1/2 inches wide by 2 inches deep; very much similar to the measurement of any laptop nowadays. Read more at <a href="http://io9.com/379500/a-laptop-from-1893"><strong>io9</strong></a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have some spare time to kill, how about contributing some votes for <a href="http://www.versusbattles.com/" rel="nofollow">versusbattles.com</a>? The website, <strong>versusbattles.com</strong> as it&#8217;s name explains is site that compares between 2 entities and require you to vote which you prefer. Think of it as <a href="http://hotornot.com" rel="nofollow">hotornot.com</a>, but rather than voting whether you like it ornot, you vote which one you like.</p>
<p>The current <strong>versusbattles</strong> site is still new, but it has got some interesting battles going on. You can even create battles and seek voters for their opinions. Here&#8217;s few I personally find interesting and have contributed my votes.</p>
<p><strong>Apple vs Microsoft</strong></p>

<p><strong>Oj Simpson vs Homer Simpson</strong></p>
<p><img class="desc" src="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/theojs.jpg" alt="theojs.jpg" border="0" width="400" height="257" /> </p>
<p><strong>Hu Jin Tao vs Dalai Lama</strong></p>
<p><img class="desc" src="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/dalai.jpg" alt="dalai.jpg" border="0" width="400" height="226" /></p>
<p><strong>Hilary vs Obama</strong></p>
