Chi, The power of life, And the ultimate Chi skill, Dim Mak or “Death Touch” is training the attack of Pressure points in some styles of Chinese martial arts to kill, incapacitate, or otherwise control an opponent. it is said that this skill is only taught to one person per generation, I don’t know if this is real of fake, but its defenitely intersting, i’m inclinded to beleive it though since its a BBC report, and they’re pretty credible in my book. Anyways, be sure to watch the video till the last minute.

I talked in a pervious post about ThemePress, which is a tool that allows you to automatically convert your HTML and CSS based design into a WordPress blog theme, but since it wasn’t free and not affordable by everyone, Here’s somthing even better:

A tutorial on how to convert any web template into a WordPress theme yourself, its fairly easy for novices if you take the time to learn how to do it but its great and very easy to comprehend for developers and the likes. Click Here for the tutorial, Also for a video tutorial Click Here.

Alright, first of all let it be clear that I am a stright out die hard Photoshop guy, to me photoshop is the perfect piece of software, period. However, after trying out Paint.NET I found it to be a fabulous piece of software, this little program is packed with fantastic features such as layers, unlimited undo, special effects and a wide variety of useful and powerful tools. it’s like photoshop for novices, something that has the tools to get more stuff done, with a simple enough interface, and best of all, its FREE and Small (3.6 MB) , so if you want to do some basic photo editing tasks like cropping or brightness/contrast and sizing, this is the best tool for you, and it doesn’t need a fast machine or anything, It launches fast and also performs better than most other free image editing softwares out there.

That doesn’t mean i’m uninstalling photoshop anytime soon though, but Paint.NET is defenitly worth noticing.

Check out the Paint.NET Website.

This game is used by the U.S. Air Force Academy, they have to be able to stay alive in this game for around 40 seconds. even though at first glance the game looks rediculously easy, its really not. the objective is simply Click and hold on the red square. Keep it away from the blue shapes or the black wall. thats it, Good luck doing that though, My best score was 8 seconds :|
Click Here to try your luck ;)
