The reason I’ve written pretty much nothing for the last week here is because I was away at camp. I live in Hong Kong as a lot of you may know and it’s a densely populated and mostly urban city but there are some wildlife and green spots in the city, especially on the large island known as Lantau, which is where I and about 30 other people went camping from Monday to Friday.
It worked like this, the first two days, Monday and Tuesday, we would wake up and catch the 9:30 ferry in Central that goes to Lantau Island (Mui Wo), we would do the day’s activities and then catch the 4:00 or 4:30 ferry going back to Central. The last three days we slept in a hostel and in tents. So here is a day by day playback of what we did.

I am currently in the process of making V2, the major redesign of this website. It will take a long time, many revisions, some new things added, some old things removed and it will require a lot of work. The theme will be based off of the structure of K2 but will have many elements changed. The design for V2 is inspired by Invader, Binary Bonsai’s new theme, the Microsoft Codename Max website and other beautiful websites I’ve seen all over the web. This will be a live design and as I have said will take a long time so wait for it.
For the past month I’ve been thinking about investing in Apple. In this entry I want to discuss why it would be wise, at least from my standpoint, to invest in the computer company. Let’s start with a little history lesson.
Apple started out more than 20 years ago making computers. Microsoft also started out around the same time and made operating systems for computers. About ten years later Microsoft started becoming really popular with its operating system and by the time Windows 98 came out Microsoft was leading the world in computer operating systems. While Microsoft was enjoying this, Apple was struggling. Steve Jobs was fired from the company he started and went and created NEXT Computers and Pixar. He then came back to Apple and started working on Mac OS X.

This is quite cool. You have two identical images on the screen right next to each other, you cross your eyes and an image forms in the middle, you then focus on that image by practically penetrating the screen until the image becomes clear. When that middle image is clear, it looks 3D, as if you can stick your arm out and touch it (no, you can’t really touch it).
Try it. It took me about 15 minutes at first but now I can do it in a few seconds.
Today in Hong Kong there was a Porsche Parade and I was able to see over 50 Porsches drive right by me, revving up their engines right when they passed me. I knew the event was to happen today and I also knew I had to go see it and to my surprise it started very near to where I live. I got a few pictures, (unfortunately not of the really vintage ones because I came a bit late) which I’ll be uploading to Flickr.
Some of you may know that I love cars and that I especially like Porsches and so this was quite a big thing for me. The Porsches above in the pictures were all imported from the Porsche Museum to Hong Kong and I got to see and hear them. It was amazing.
