Min Frexy Bright Icons in Bitmap

Mike Lopez — Tue, 20 May 2008 17:59:05 +0000

I recently downloaded a cool free icon set called “Bright” by Min Tran. His website can be found at min.frexy.com and the direct link to the icon set download is here.

The icon set is currently in EPS (vector) format mainly because Min wants to the icons to be editable and scalable. There are however some who just want the icons to be in plain bitmap so I chose to export it to BMP, zip it and put it here.

Download the BMP format here

I hope this helps.

What would I do if my children didn’t love me?

Here’s a question I wish everybody who comes across this to pose to themselves. Ask yourself, “What would I do if my children didn’t love me?” Let’s say that you’ve been a good parent (father or mother) and that you did everything in your power to make your children happy. You gave them everything they need so they can live better and fuller lives. You were always there when they cried and you picked them up when they fell down. But still they didn’t love you, what would you do?

Did you know that LED Light Bulbs can actually replace incandescent and compact fluorescent lamps? They can shine just as bright but consume much less electricity and we all know that saving on electricity is not just saving money but also saving our planet.

An 8-year-old girl went to her dad, who was working in the yard. She asked him, “Daddy, what is sex?” The father was surprised that she would ask such a question, but decides that if she is old enough to ask the question, then she is old enough to get a straight answer.
