People are always doing amazing things. I remember last time when I was amazed at what Microsoft Paint can do in the right hands. Now, I am amazed at what Microsoft Excel can do!

Some of you guys may have seen this video before, but I thought I should just share for those who have not =). Pretty cool huh? I remember I wow-ed at the part when the guy was coloring the hair. It was really really well done!
This kind of “drawing” is actually quite good in a way that …
