Jennifer Love Hewitt speed painting by Nico Di Mattia |
This speed painting is a masterpiece, and the author – Nico Di Mattia is one hell of a talented guy! His speed painting videos have been viewed by tens and millions of people on Youtube.
I watched all of his videos and this is the one that I like the most: Speed painting of Jennifer Love Hewitt’s character from Ghost Whisperer . The combination of 2 types of art: wicked drawing skills and blending music make this video unbelievably captivating. See for your self:
You got dazzled didn’t you? If so head over to Nico Di Mattia’s youtube channel and watch some more videos!

Coolest Wordpress Blog Competition |
I just found out about the competition(hopefully not too late[it's 15th November - 9PM here]) so i decided to put up this post about it.
The contest is held by WPWebhost and basically there will be 3 prizes awarded for the 3 coolest Wordpress blogs.The value of the prizes reaches more than 2000$(USD) Who wouldn’t want that?
To enter each participant must write a blog post about the contest and get at least 5 legit comments(shouldn’t be too hard with so many friends online on YM! now).
That’s about it. I’ve seen lots of submissions so far, and some people submitted their blogs where they are using free themes. I’m not sure if they will be included in the top 20, but hopefully I will be!
If you dropped by feel free to leave a comment.
Thanks!

My FREE Jinx sticker pack just got shipped! |
YAY! The experience and gold addon at jinx.com are really cool,especially because you can get free stuff as your experience grows. You can earn experience by buying stuff, commenting on images, submitting pictures of you wearing jinx swag,by taking the weekly trivia or by participating at the photo tweakfest.
If you click the image on the right you will be taken to the product page. There you will be able to see a full sized image. The pack contains 16 stickers(jumbo pack ftw!) and i earned them by gaining 1500 Jinx experience. I had to wait about 3 weeks to get them because they were out of stock. Regardless of that what counts is that they are on my way. The only thing i have to worry about now is to find places where i can stick them.

Site Promotion Package
Free eCommerce/Cart

Either way you look at it, this deal is a steal, so take advantage of it while it lasts!

A cool Feature suggestion for Gmail |
Even though the creation of the new Gmail emoticons was a great move of the Gmail team, they also implemented dumb features like Gmail Goggles. In my oppinion the Gmail team should consider feature suggestions made in the Gmail Labs Groups . I checked out numerous threads, most of them being old with great ideas which could have been implemented.
This is the main reason i’m doing the feature suggestion here on my blog and not at the groups where i would most probably waste 3-4minutes of my time writing a feature suggestion. The chances that a guy from the Gmail team will read it are almost null,but here even if the chances are also small at least you guys can read my idea.
The idea
So, the basic idea is to allow people who are using Gmail on Google Apps to access their email accounts using the login form over at Gmail.com.
For me the partnerpage is really annoying and that i have to direct the users who have email accounts at a site of mine to that page. Wouldn’t it be easier if people using G Apps could log in dirextly from Gmail?
In my opinion this would be a feature which would be highly appreciated by website owners who provide email accounts to their users/customers. Simple and effective.

Choose from 16 Yahoo! Messenger online status indicators |
I had to build an email subscription manager for my colleagues at college, and because here Yahoo! messenger is so popular i decided to put an online indicator. I was amazed to see that the guys at yahoo made new online/offline indicators, the total number of indicators being 16.
To tell you the truth the indicators are really funky and i really like them because they are creative and attract attention. Unfortunately yesterday i used a classic online indicator, because that was what fit the best.
To insert a online indicator into your website/blog you have to use the following code:
<a href=”ymsgr:sendIM?YOUR ID HERE“><img border=”0″ src=”http://opi.yahoo.com/online?u=YOUR ID HERE&m=g&t=NUMBER FROM 0 to 16“/>
Check out a few of the status indicators:
Choose the one you like and add it to your website. Happy Instant messaging!

Animation taken to a whole new level |
Okay, so after watching the i was dazzled,amazed,shocked,pwned, phew…the sensation is unexplainable. At first I thought that was a real human being, just after i got to the effects overlay part.
The video was made by Image Metrics Animation Studio , go ahead, vsiit the website and press the big “Play” button and get amazed once again. Dang that’s some cutting edge animation and the most important part that got my attention is that only a camera and a sofware is required to adapt the facial movements to the virtual character.
Image Metrics’s client base speaks for itself: From EA Games to ATI and Capcom, they’ve worked with lots of Large companies.
As you know in the new Need For Speed (NFS Undercover) the role of the federal agent Chase Linh will be played Maggie Q. Nfs Undercover will be launched in Europe this november(as usually in every year). Hopefully this version of NFS will be more enjoyable than its predecessor Pro Street.
I wonder…were the animation scenes (movie scenes) made by Image Metrics?
Check out the Need For Speed: Undercover trailer:

Folty.com – My next big project |
Well, actually Yable.net was supposed to be my next big project but due to the crappy template engine(smarty) and the buggy script BETng4U still didn’t finish coding the design I made for it and to implement the features that I want.
What will it be?
Anyway, getting back to Folty which will be a Stylish websites showcase gallery, something like cssremix and all the other showcase websites with css in the domain name. It will run on wordpress and of course Folty will have some unique features implemented(its great to work with a highs killed coder).
The design isn’t made by me, I just spent a day modding it to fit my vision. I bought the design about half year ago on DP, it had some pretty annoying elements and some that needed modding or the lack of required elements, so I spent the whole yesterday modding the design, and at 11 pm it reached its final version(so far) which i’ve sent to BETng4U to code. He will start coding next week, so expect the website to be up by the end of next week/beginning of the week after. The name and the tagline will be trademarked a bit later.
Where did the name come from?
A few months back my doggie had puppies and after they reached 5 weeks in age i had to give them away(they have to stay with their mother for 5 weeks), one dog is more than enough for me. Katie(a girl who got one of the puppies) chose the one which had spots on him and named him Folty. Folt means in hungarian – spot, and Folty is like a petname. Than it hit me and I registered the domain which was available.
More about the features?
Don’t expect something extraordinary at first, features will be added as the gallery will grow, I already built an upcoming feature list which includes a cool wordpress widget to showcase your website on the blog if it’s included in the gallery. At this point I can’t tell you more, features will be announced gradually as the website evolves.
