When Boss Greg directed me to the AsiaPac website, boy was I surprised. For a moment I sat there wondering if my eyes were playing tricks on me. The site looked almost like the old CODESIGN Studios website, which I designed in 2005. See below for a comparison (click on the thumbnails for full image)

Items #1-6 COULD all have been a coincidence. But item #7 really nailed it in. Ahh well … guess I’m flattered! Booo!
