A Cool CCTV Commercial
Although I think it learns the idea from Harry Potter's trailer, it is still very creative in the way of bringing in a lot of elements in Chinese culture. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2YcEJhJA34

Move to BlueHost Web Hosting Service
I have been using my home PC to host my website and gallery for almost 10 years. I had a good experience moving my gallery to Zenfolio and SmugMug (updated review here), access is faster, uptime is better and storage is really cheap these days, so I felt it’s a good idea to host my website on a professional hosting service as well.

Because most pages of my website are driven by MySQL and PHP, these are the must-have features. Eventually, BlueHost stands out among others. It is the first recommendation in WordPress website and its online reviews are mostly positive. Although most services I evaluated provide similar features, bluehost’s website just looks more professional. The new user has 30-day money back guarantee, so I decided to go with it.
