Khan Academy on a Stick
I put this website together for offline usage.
It seemed to me that
Khan Academy
was most needed by people who didn't have access to the
internet, so I started downloading and re-compressing the videos. Then
I found that
someone else had, put
together a nice browsable index and I picked it up from there.
It's included as part of the
RACHEL
project. It's also
available for download in multiple languages
from the development site. Feedback is welcome!
Zappos.com
This is the place that completely changed my world. I worked at Zappos
from 2000 to 2007 and it is still the most successful thing I've ever
been part of, as well as one of the most exciting.
The site has been redesigned since my departure, and is stewarded by
an amazing team of new blood. However I have heard through the grapevine that
most of the system - the internal software used by Zappos employees to provide
their famous customer service - is still the stuff built by the incredible team
of people I was very lucky to have led.
One Hot Pair
Soon after leaving Zappos I put together this website which is basically
HOT or NOT for shoes. It was something I wanted to do while at Zappos but
could never find the time. So I threw it together afterwards and it chugs
along.
I have a list of adjustments I want to make to improve it dramatically, but
prioritizing it is tough. So many things to do and so little time! Even with
all the time in the world.
Sophia Field Photography
I didn't design the look of this site; my former wife and great friend
Sophia Field did. I just coded up the CSS version and wrote the simple
CMS
that makes it work.
I've also helped on marketing and SEO for the site. That's an
artform I lack a natural interest in, but I recognize the importance of more
and more. Black magic it is.
Tim's Furniture Fix
Here's a website I put together for a friend's business. Simple
as it is, I'm very happy with the look, feel, and structure.
I got the search ranking good enough that organic traffic
provides nearly all his work now.
