Not-so-obvious

I'm sure we don't pay much attention to the small details in a website. We are too busy for that. But take a few seconds to actually scan through this blog. Did you notice these things?

1. The "Dispose in garbage bin" print on the big box up there is actually a computer effect.
Not-so-obvious rating: 2 out of 5 stars

2. Look at the bottom of this page. This blog is Made in Malaysia.
Not-so-obvious rating: 1 out of 5 stars

3. Then, shift your eyes to the bar code. There are meanings to the numbers, 9 071286 727532. 9 is the usual first number in bar codes (I didn't bother to find out why). 071286 is my birthday in dd/mm/yy format. And lastly, 727532 is my landline number.
Not-so-obvious rating: 5 out of 5 stars

What do you think of the Not-so-obvious ratings? Are they accurate?

Hahaha... I guess my photoship skills desperately need some polishing. Hadn't updated myself for years!

I never thought someone would actually try to figue the barcode numbers. But it's only obvious to close friends though... Hmm, next time I should try something more subtle. ^_^

Btw, I like the design on your test blog. The colour scheme is so nice I was tempted to use it here as well. =)
