Check it out! Zappos.com ranked #15 in Fortune’s 2010 “100 Best Companies to Work For“! I’d say that’s a pretty amazing feat considering that 1) Zappos has only been around since 1999, 2) we’re still pretty small with less than 2k employees, 3) and it’s not a great economy (to put it politely).

We had Amish Saturday this past weekend and it was great! What a wonderful time to relax and converse together and to be convicted about our reliance on modern technology and media. Here’s what we did: – I got up with Dinah and gave Dan another hour of sleep – We had a quiet breakfast [...]

We recently had a wonderful opportunity to travel around the midwest visiting relatives that we pretty much never get to see. Please don’t think from my title that I’m being sarcastic or offensive: quite literally, we saw all but one of our grandmothers and it was a great time! It all started with Dan’s great-grandmother’s [...]
OK, I’m pretending that today is 7/11 instead of 8/5. That’s right, SHE is quite the little gymnast. Today at our ultrasound, we learned not only that our baby is a girl, but also that she’s quite active. She was flipping all around, waving her hands, moving her legs, and poking her little behind out [...]
If you don’t know, I’m a software developer for Zappos.com, an internet retailer of shoes, apparel, accessories, electronics, etc. Their headquarters are in Las Vegas and their warehouse is just south of Shepherdsville, KY, which is where I work. It’s my favorite job so far and that’s mainly because of the great company culture and [...]
