Visitors

Monday, March 30th, 2009

Lots of high profile visitors today at Zappos. CBS, Lance Armstrong Foundation(the yellow bracelet people), and I just met Tony Robbins. It’s nice to see that people like that are taking time to see what Zappos is about, and that we’ve made some sort of impact that it worth a few hours to them. Also good to see that people here are pretty much at their desks working and not stalking our guests like they did when Serena Williams came around.

Juno works for it

Friday, March 27th, 2009

So our new dog Juno, being a young mix of Dalmatian and Labrador, has a lot of energy. He’s got to work for his food, usually go for a walk outside or now running on the treadmill. I started him on the treadmill a couple of weeks ago, holding a leash while he ran. Then I tied the leash to the treadmill, so I can lazily sit beside the treadmill and watch TV while he runs. Just in the last week, I’ve gotten him to stay on without a leash, he just jumps off the treadmill at full speed when he’s tired.. I think the next step is to strap the treadmill safety switch to his collar and see how that goes.
