Penny Auctions gaining popularity!

Penny Auctions the new way to buy all the fancy things you ever wanted for super low prices. I recently came across a new penny auction site which is quite different from others for several reasons. The first being this is the only site to offer a separate beginners auction section where newbies can sharpen their skills. If a new registrant doesn't win within 24 hrs after registration their bids will be restored. All auctions on Deal Fun start at $0.01, so there is no need guess and second guess about the products you are interested in. There have been some unscrupulous operators in this area so I initially thought that this might be dealfun.com scam and not a genuine auction site. After I went through the website and noticed the products they have to offer, I am totally convinced that this is one of the best sites to buy a wide array of coveted products such as iPad, iPhone, Kindle, Laptops, LED TVs, PS3, Watches, Jewelry, Toys at super low prices. The products on this website usually get sold at over 95% or sometimes even 98% discount. This website doesn't mandate any weekly cap on winning. Their customer service officers are always there to help you and answer your queries courteously and explain things in a clear concise manner. Suppose you want the product, but you don't win, then you can use all the bids you have used and add some cash and buy this product. Now what are you waiting for, go to Deal Fun and get all the products you have always wanted but stopped for lack of money. Now money is not a problem at

Patterns and Shapes

I designed one more image/ pattern based font. I tried to make diverse and different patterns to fit in seamlessly. Feel free to download and use it, and of course I do require your feedback about the utility or not thereof so next font I design will be better aligned for your use.

Computer Games

I have been a gamer from the day of 286 computers. I am pretty sure many of those online haven't even heard about those obsolete machines that had only monochrome monitors and the only sound one heard was that of the fan whirring inside the CPU. Computers and technology has come a long way since then. Now everything is online on the internet and so is this cool game creation platform. I used the platform to create a game with three levels. Check it out and let me know what you think.

A thin font created by me...

Font creation is a great way to play with your design sense. It is not about one letter but about the entire alphabet and related punctuation marks. It is not good enough to have a great sense of design to create a font, but one needs to have forethought, and a sense of organization to be able to conceive the entire alphabet and create the font.
I will continue to work on more fonts and share them right here on my blog.

Font Creations....

I tried a hand at font construction again and here is another examples of what I conceived to be complete fonts with 98 characters including numbers, punctuations and special ascii characters. If you wish to download the font and use it on your computer go ahead and enjoy... just make sure you give me your feedback...

Webhosting for just $10

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Nexx Online. All opinions are 100% mine.

When internet became prevalent the cost of website hosting was prohibitive. This prevented most of the small and some medium businesses from hosting their own websites. Then came the era of free website hosting, free domain registration, free designing, etc, etc. That wave saw everyone getting onto the internet bandwagon hoping to make it big, only to realize that making money off the internet is not so easy.

Well now there seems to be maturity among internet service providers, website hosts and businesses getting online. The new has ushered a new era of professional service providers whose costs are steadily increasing. Small businesses who were earlier not shy of going online are beginning to wonder about the economics of website hosting.

I believe the wave of internet era would be technologies and companies that offer Unlimited Web Hosting for a nominal cost that is not too expensive. The new plan known as Nexx hosting plan a one year unlimited web hosting plan and one free .COM domain registration for just $10.

That is simply amazing in an era where the cheapest hosting costs in the range of $50-100 year with a lot of restrictions. Unlimited space, bandwidth, email, 27/7 Customer Support and as icing on the cake is two $50 credits for Google Adwords and Facebook ads. This is something every small business owner, blogger, individual, who wants a web presence, should consider.

Nexx Web Hosting supports all the latest applications such as Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal and Zen Cart and offers one click installation on all these.

For those who are all keyed up and want to avail this $10 promotion the code to use SPARK10

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Speek. All opinions are 100% mine.

When technology is so advanced as here in the US it is often difficult for people to be physically present at meetings. Executives are increasingly multitasking while going about their daily lives. For example a busy executive may be driving his son to the football game and attending an important business teleconference call, else answering e-mail through a hand held device.

Innovative inventors are unleashing newer and newer technologies to speed up communications and increase convenience to end users. One such new tool to hit the market is Speek, currently in in private beta this is a FREE web-based teleconferencing system. The company is currently inviting users to register for private beta and evaluate their service quality. The unique selling proposition of this system is that the system will dial out to the participants. The system is compatible with land lines, mobile phones and voice-over-internet applications like Skype and GoogleTalk.

Speek invites all businesses, non-profits and other users to visit their website and get Free registration for the beta service. If you have been using teleconferencing facilities from commercial operators and paying hefty fees, here is your opportunity to get the same service for free. The biggest advantage with speek is the fact that it supports dialing to Skype and GoogleTalk also.

Real Life Sleeping Beauty in Britain

How would you like to sleep for 13 days at a stretch??? I am quite sure lot of us would like to get some more sleep than we are getting now, but 13 days... that sounds a tad too much. I read about and watched a video about this British girl who is afflicted with a rare medical condition that makes her sleep for days at a stretch. It is so rare that only about 1,000 people in the world of 6 billion could have this condition.

Make Money on Twitter!!!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Sponsored Tweets. All opinions are 100% mine.

The growth of social media is providing immensely large number of earning opportunities to enterprising individuals. I personally have been affected in a positive way by social media. My first exposure to social marketing was through payperpost, then it was social spark, and now the latest buzz in the social media marketing arena is twitter. The pioneers in social media IZEA Inc is offering a grand opportunity to make money on Twitter. You could simply sign up for sponsored tweets and start earning off of your twitter account.



Hitherto it was mainly social entrepreneurs signing up to earn a few dollars more. But with IZEA's entry into Twitter, several celebrities including Kim Kardashian, Bob Vila, Sister Hazel and Leann Rimes have jumped onto the bandwagon and are making money tweeting.

Getting sponsored tweets is not difficult, all you need to do is sign up for a twitter account and register the same with Izea. Advertisers will contact you with offers to tweet their message across your networks, you can set your own price for tweets and also for clicks. Moreover you have the choice whether or not to accept an advertiser's offer. If you are not interested in the offer you can simply refuse to tweet the message.

The more popular you are online the better this scheme works for you. So gather up all your friend's e-mail ids and invite them to follow you on twitter. The larger your followers circle, the more money you stand to make.

I recently blogged about having compiled a tourist guide book about my home state of Karnataka. The creation of the Karnataka guide spurred me on to create similar publications for other places I have visited. As a result I created one more guide for one of my favorite places in India.

One is about Rajasthan the royal state of India, which attracted me to its rugged beauty of deserts, forts, and large lakes. Rajasthan has a special place in my heart because this is one state where I can get to see the stark contrasts of nature. We see the city of lakes in Udaipur and then the harsh waterless desert in Jaisalmer. We see the royal splendor of majestic palaces, which have been converted into luxury hotels, museums and schools. Then we see the abject poverty in the villages and urban slums right there.

Rajasthan is also one of my favorite biking destinations. The state's highways and roads are beautifully paved and flanked by vast expanses of rugged landscapes. There are rocky fortified hills, majestic temples, rolling sand dunes as far as the eye can see, and most of all colorful friendly people.

If there is anything that I don't like about this state is the piercing heat and harsh sunshine that beats down onto the earth. The days are extremely hot and the desert cools down drastically in the night making it agonizingly cold in the night. I would rather prefer a stable mid-way temperature but then it wouldn't be a desert state with its rugged beauty would it?

I hope you would be interested in taking a look at the guidebook and possibly use it if you are visiting this part of the world. If you do read the book do let me know your feedback and how I could improve it suit your needs better.

Talk about New DOTA-Clone Game

One of my favorite hobbies is online gaming. Sometimes it can get quite addictive and keep me away from doing school work, but still I try and catch a few hours of onling gaming every week. I recently came across the beta version of this new game heroes of newerth and wanted to try it out.

But before actually going ahead and installing the game on my computer I wanted to know more about the game and I found this fantastic discussion forum where every bit of information about the game was talked about by geeks and enthusiasts like myself.

There are numerous topics such as characters of the game, hot keys, tips and tricks and a whole lot of interesting stuff. If you are a gamer this is one forum you must visit frequently.

Appealing Customized Gifts

Buying a gift for that special person in our life is relatively easier than deciding on one item for a 1,000 people. For example how would you decide on a giveaway for your school fundraiser? Jewelry, make up, etc would be too feminine, sporting goods would appear too boyish and gift cards too impersonal.

While recently trying to decide on prizes for a fund-raiser for a non-profit I volunteer with I hit upon this idea of giving away embroidered custom tote bags for all the volunteers and special contributors. That is when I found this website which offers several customized products. Embroidered shirts, hats, promotional items and a wide array of different products. The best part is I didn't have to step out of the house to get the products. I just visited their website and placed the order online, a few days later the products landed up at home just as I expected. The quality was superb, colors were as shown and everyone was simply thrilled.

Play Multiplayer Games Online

Online gaming is the biggest craze since internet speeds rose and high end graphics came into being. Starting from young children to seniors everyone is slowly but surely getting hooked to online gaming. The most popular online games include Billiards, Word games, fighting games etc. Speaking of Billiards I recently came across a fantastically graphic website http://www.8c1.net which lets people play multiplayer games online.

There are hundreds, perhaps thousands of online gaming websites, what makes this different? In my opinion it is the high-end graphics, 3-D feel of the games, fast downloads and amazing sound effects is what sets this site head and shoulders above the rest of the crop.

My verdict is simple, if you are into online gaming just go to www.8c1.net and you will not go anywhere else.

Paintball an entertaining sport!!!

In modern games apart from computer-based war games the sport of Paintball is one of the most entertaining activities I have participated. Teams playing paintball fight like it is a real war, but at the end opposing teams get together and enjoy a drink before going home.

Paintball needs spme special gear such as guns, color dyes, pellets etc and one of the best places to buy gear is Ultimate Paintball. You could go to paintball online and get cool stuff from Tippmann, Spyder, Smart Parts, Dye, Empire, Draxxus and other paintball gear. The best part of this online store is that they offer free shipping and their prices are really competitive. So if you are looking for great paintball stuff just go to Ultimate Paintball and order online.

Expert Ratings and Reviews of Web Hosting Services

One of the most important needs of any business, big or small, is a strong internet presence in the form of a website, blog, online store etc. To have an online entity you need a reliable, efficient, and cost effective website hosting service provider. With so many companies offering more or less the same services, it is very difficult to decide which company is best suited for you.

I was in the same dilemma recently and after considerable amount of research on the web I found this website known as Web Hosting Geeks. The site provides ubiased user ratings of almost all the web hosting services in the market. These reviews are independent and are both cheap and expensive ones. There are services which offer Free Domain Name registration if you host with them. Personally speaking I think the free domain name service is a great advantage for me because that cuts down my costs quite a bit. I only want to host my blog on my own domain and for this I just need a domain name. And I could find such a service on Web Hosting Geeks. I believe this site has the resources to fulfill all your information needs about website hosting and related services.

I strongly feel that if anyone is interested in hosting a website or looking for a good hosting company one should consult Web Hosting Geeks and then decide upon it. This is one site where you can find all the necessary information, pitfalls and advantages about a wide range of website hosting service providers.
