Free Rider 2, “because it’s really fun!”
Sunday, April 19th, 2009My son play’s a game on my computer all of the time called Free Rider 2.
I was curious because he has access to these incredible games on the x-box or wii and he chooses to play this free game.
I asked him, “Why are you always playing this game and not any of your x-box games?”
The answer was incredibly simple, “Because it’s really fun!”
Happy Easter
Sunday, April 12th, 2009Happy Easter. I had to find somewhere that had phone reception so I could write this post. What do you think, great spot to sit and write on my blog!
Listening to the waves, the fog horn and sea gulls.
My wife’s online boutique, wilibleu.com was created with shopify
Thursday, April 9th, 2009My wife recently opened up a cool new online boutique, wilibleu.com. I am really proud of all the work she has done, taking her interior design style and sharing it with anyone. She blogs about the products and how to use them to decorate your house, so I thought I would talk about the website and how we made it.
To create the online store we used a hosted eCommerce service, shopify. We picked shopify because of how easy it was to get started. Managing the products is simple and straight forward and it was hosted. We did not have to do anything to get it up and running. Simply signed up and set up shop.
My wife did want her unique style to reflect in the way the website looked and worked, so shopify was flexible enough to allow us to customize the online store. We hired a website designer and they tweaked the look to match my wife’s style.
By the way, I recently found another eCommerce solution which has been very highly rated, Magento. It is an open source solution which has been said to be extremely flexible and will have a lower cost of ownership . I will be reviewing it and will tell you what I think.
