Compliment or Insult: Work Website Edition

I am a creator of award-winning websites. Literally, alorica.com just won a prestigious award (for its News Center, but still!). For my job, I also make various other websites, which will never win awards but serve their purpose. In my very first job, my boss/mentor told me “you design websites for the Lowest Common Denominator.…

I’m Happy.

My startup website DailyHap.com turns three years old today! The plan was hatched as Nali and I were living in a 200-square-foot room in a B&B in Aspen, the website was formed and developed in my most favorite apartment ever in Aspen, and the site strategy, content, and audience continued to grow as I moved…

Happy Birthday DailyHap!

It’s a gaming mentality that’s…

Wow, more shopping/deal sites!

Yo, did you guys know about SteepandCheap.com? Because I sure didn’t, but apparently everyone else within 1,000 vertical feet of snow did. It flashes a new item every 30 minutes or until it sells out, whichever comes first, and its got tons of mountain-y gear like skis, accessories, clothes, hiking gear, shoes, packs, camping stuff,…
