10 Days 10 Tees: Twittering is like...

My 3rd t-shirt for Comboutique Asia's 10 Days 10 Tees campaign is inspired by one of my favourite tweets: "Twittering is like sex. No matter how much we do it, we never stop wanting more."



I decided to add some hot girls in various seductive poses above the curving text and I thought it turned out quite well. I would definitely like to do more Twitter T-shirts like this one in the future.

Scratch DJ Coffee Table is the coolest coffee table in the world

It's hard to find a really nice coffee table but thanks to Jeff and Rebecca from Bughouse, I finally found one that will fit in nicely in my living room. Check out their Scratch DJ Coffee Table. It's actually a turntable photo transfer on a knotty pine and clear pine construction. I want!

You'll never look at Fast Food the same way again

Fancy Fast Food has become one of my favourite blogs! It teaches you how to turn a fast food item into a lovely cuisine. No additional ingredients are added except for an occasional simple garnish. This one pictured here used to be a Domino's Pizza!

(Thanks Shy)

Huge collection of Firecracker Labels

Dude has over 400 firecracker labels in his personal collection. All were made in either China, Hong Kong or Macau. He even has some that were made before the 1950s. These old labels can fetch hundreds of dollars.

iPhone Cufflinks

If having an iPhone isn't enough for you, then the iPhone cufflinks should just satisfy your iPhone cravings. The cufflink comes complete with all of your favorite apps on the touch screen mounted to a silver plated setting.

Zero Star Hotel

This hotel in a small town in Switzerland is the world's first zero star hotel! I'm not sure why would anyone want to stay in anything less than a 3 star hotel but I guess if you are keen on experiencing a hotel that was made from a former nuclear bunker, then this one is for you.

Hausu is the strangest Japanese horror movie you'll ever see

Watch this really strange clip from the 1977 Japanese horror movie, Hausu. This is the part where the killer lampshade scares the living daylights out of the girls. Yes, killer lampshade! I bet you haven't seen that one before. You can read an excellent review of Hausu here:

I myself have now seen it five times, and it's a testament to it's uniqueness that each time I watch it I find myself surprised anew at just how strange it is. It's as if it contains too much that's beyond the normal frame of reference for the brain to adequately retain it all. It is without question one of the most unique horror films that I have ever seen.

That sums up the movie pretty well, thank you.

Vintage New York Tribune Illustrated Supplements

The Library of Congress has a Flickr photoset of 52 weekly supplements in the New-York Tribune, beginning 100 years ago in 1909. Back in those days, newspapers decided to include heavily illustrated supplement sections to attract new readers. These supplements became the most widely read sections of the papers.

Electronic Ruler is a must have for school kids and adults alike

Shay Shafranek's Electronic Ruler is just brilliant! You can use a normal pen or pencil to draw a line using the ruler and it will tell you the exact length. He says the Electronic Ruler isn't designed to replace the existing ruler but I say, forget about the old ruler, this one is way better!

1972 Comic Card Game

From Milton Bradley, comes this 1972 Comic Card Game. You have to assemble your cards to complete a comic strip. Cartoons include Hi & Lois, Beetle Bailey, Blondie and one of my favourites, Popeye.

Ninja Coat Hook

Hang your clothing on these shuriken inspired coat hooks! The Ninja Coat Hook is made of metal and has one corner cleverly engineered into a screw which you can fix to your wall or door. It looks like the real thing but it is not as deadly, meaning you won't be able to pull it out from the wall and throw it at your unwanted guest.

Welcome to the Universe

TK made this wonderful astronomy documentary series called Welcome to the Universe using images, clips and animations that are readily available on the web and elsewhere. You can watch Part II: Beyond the Sky above. The episode looks at the origin of astronomy and the figures involved in the rise and fall of mathematical geocentrism. His entire documentary series can be viewed here.

10 Days 10 Tees: Star Blogger

In addition to my appointment as the Brand Ambassador for Comboutique Asia, I'm also the Campaign Ambassador for their 10 Days 10 Tees campaign. Over the next 10 days, I'll be designing 10 T-shirts using Comboutique Asia's Design Your Own T-shirt interface. It has an extensive range of fonts, graphics, templates and you can also upload your own photos and pictures.





My first T-shirt for the 10 Days 10 Tees campaign is "Star Blogger". The star you see on the T-shirt is one of the many patterns that you can find on Comboutique Asia's Design Your Own T-shirt interface. I just add the text "BLOGGER" below the star and my url on the back, did some adjustments to the size, etc, and that's it! It's really that simple! I'd wear this for my next blogger event.

This blood choker necklace would be perfect for Halloween but I guess you can still it wear out during other days when you want people to look at you in shock and horror, wondering if you've just been slashed on the neck.

Early 20th century Japanese book and magazine covers

Will from A Journey Round My Skull, has scanned and posted these extraordinary book and magazine covers from Japan published in the early 20th century. I like this 1940 magazine cover that shows a lady putting on a gas mask for her man.

Laptop case doubles up as a workstation

I think Openaire is a brilliant concept! It is a hybrid of a laptop carrying case, work surface and chair. Its protective sleeve becomes an ergonomic laptop work surface and the protective shell functions as a comfortable seat.
