Web Resources - July

August 1st, 2008 in Web Resources by kailoon

Step into August, there is only 1 thing in my mind. Beijing Olympic 2008! I am not a big fans of olympic. But I do enjoy some of the sports. Basketball and football and table tennis (ping pong). This time is even more excited because it is hosted in China! All the while, I admire the culture in China. Espcially the Chinese Traditional Painting. I try to do that in photoshop several times before, I failed. Anyone can show me the way? This month, I didn’t explore much because I am busy with something else. Anyway, I still found some interesting stuffs to share with you.

Take It Easy

I found this in youtube and it is very funny. I know it is some kind of offence, but the purpose I post it here is because of the creativity from the author. I like the logo actually, it contains China own traditional art, culture and also not forgotten to add in some trendy elements.

Okie, now let’s go for this month’s roundup.

I can’t wait for the open ceremony. That’s one of the main thing I am looking at in Olympics

However, recently I read some news about the unethical reporter from Korea had published some of the video of the opening. It make me feel excited but also disappointed as well. It supposed to be seen during exactly that day…

Anthena:

Nice roundup of some great posts there, I have read most, but there are a few that slipped past me, good work.

I too am looking forward to the olympics, but I am a keen sports fan, so I could watch anything sports related and not get bored.
