for those hongkies out there … here’s a test on your knowledge on HK ads. I got a score of 81 … see if you could beat me!
| 你是電視廣告迷﹗ |
| 你有81分，你對七、八、九十年代的廣告瞭如指掌！
能得到這樣的分數，你簡直是一個標準的電視廣告迷！你對七、八、九十年代之間所播放的廣告都十分留心。嚴重一點說，每當電視開啟了以後，你可能每一分一秒都是目不轉睛地看著，就算連電視廣告也不放過。在年幼時，你說不定暗地裡曾經和朋友重演過某些廣告的情節吧？ |

So the Anya Hindmarch ‘I’m not a plastic bag’ is finally available in HK. The bag retails for GBP5 and sold out immediately back in UK. The idea was to encourage people to be environmental friendly and use this bag instead of plastic bag.
My question is … why make it in limited edition? Why not encourage more people to use it with more supply.
People start lining up in Causeway Bay HK around 2 pm on 5 JULY. By the time I got back to office before 9 am on 6 JULY, there was already so many people waiting:
Here’s an bird’s eye view:
Imagine how better this world could be if these people spent their effort in doing something ‘green’ instead of waiting here in line over night.

Read this blog saying that Apple started to sell the first Apple II computer 30 years ago (June 1977). I’m sure everyone has heard about the Apple II computer which monopolized the PC market back then. Or to be more exact defined the PC market until IBM decided to introduce personal computers in 1981.
What I did not know is that Apple has a different logo when selling its Apple I computer. See logo on the right. As the blog suggested, it may be more appropriate for a rock album.
Steve Jobs realized that the company needs something different and hence employed its PR firm Regis McKenna to design a new oneand that design is now one of the world’s most recognized trademarks.
I still remember my first Apple II which of course was a clone from the famous Shamshuipo Golden Arcade in Hong Kong. It came with an orange monitor instead of the common green and I remember that I used to load games with cassette tapes (For those who born in the 80s and wondering what I am talking about, I meant cassette tapes that were common to record songs prior to MD and MP3 players). Then I got myself a 5.25″ disk drive tha could hold up to some 512 KB of data. Back then it cost almost $100 for a box of 10!
I could not remember what I used the computer for other than playing Load Runner, Olympics decathon and Castle Wolfenstien (my favourite!).
How times have changed …
