Around Hong Kong

Curtis and I went on another bus ride taking in the Kowloon City Ferry Pier and Whampoa Gardens, and we snapped a few pics.

Bad Driving

Gerry Jose forwarded an email to us showing ten pics of unbelieveable driving. Not to be confused with the good driving in this video clip.

Bad Icons

Gerry also sent us this link explaining why you need to shut down your computer at night. If you don't, your icons get carried away.

Colors

If you ever need a hexadecimal color code for whatever reason, here's a page for you.

Golf

For all you golfers out there, an online mini-golf game. Let's see how many birdies and eagles you can score, along with all the inevitable bogeys. It might take you a couple of rounds to get used to it. Enjoy!
