    • ]]>     gmail logoRecently one of my non-computer-savvy family members asked me about this.  I knew that a few months ago it wasn’t even possible.  With the Gmail Labs there was an option to set a “canned response” which included a font type/color/size.  But this was sorta of a PITA way to set a default font to be used in ALL emails.

    Apparently in late December 2009 Google heard the complaints and finally created a Lab feature that allows us to set a Default Font.  Woot!
     

    Here’s some instructions:

    1. Click the green lab beaker gmail labs icon in the top right (or go here https://mail.google.com/mail/?shva=1#settings/labs)
    2. Scroll down about 2/3 until you find Default Text Styling (or CTRL-F to search for it)
      gmail labs default text styling
    3. Click Enable
    4. Scroll up to the top
    5. Click Save Changes
    6. Click the General Settings tab at the top (or go here https://mail.google.com/mail/?shva=1#settings)
    7. Set your Default text style about half-way down
    8. Click Save Changes at the bottom

    Now marvel at how with this time-saving hack Gmail became even more awesome :)

    They sell these 100% cotton pre-shrunk t-shirts for only 6 dollars!

    Or if you’re kind of a big deal you can buy 10 for $50…that’s $5 a freakin’ shirt!  Walmart is more expensive than that!

    Some of the designs they have are just brilliant, too.  I’d love to have the job of the dude who sits around all day thinking up hilarious ideas for these shirts.

    They’ve got categories of tees such as:

    • Funny
    • Cool & Artistic
    • TV & Movie
    • Music
    • Retro & Vintage
    • Political
    • Internationalimonaboat-kane
    • Military
    • Sports & Games
    • Geek & Tech
    • Holiday & Costume

    I’m a sucker so I went for the 10 for $50 deal.  Here’s one of the ones I got (if you’re familiar with the I’m On A Boat single you’ll find it hilarious).

    mysteryshirtOh yeah, and if you feel super adventurous, they have a “random shirt” deal for only $2.95! I was too afraid to do this though as they’re likely just the shirts that nobody wants to buy.

    All shirts are designed, printed, and shipped in Gainesville, Florida USA, and apparently they ship globally.  My order took about a week to get to San Diego via. UPS.

    Total cost including shipping was a whopping $67.  Not too shabby!

    I still can’t get over how sweet some of the designs are.  Does anyone remember the old-school computer game Oregon Trail that was popular in the mid-’80s?  Well they have an Oregon-mother-f-ing-Trail design tee!  I almost fell out of my chair when I saw that.

    All of our shirts are designed, printed, and shipped in the lovely City of Gainesville, Florida USA.
