When I am bored out of my mind and have nothing better to do, I create websites for people. I've only created three, so I think that's a good indication that I'm not bored often. The three I've created are my own, a website for my brother-in-law because his art is amazing and needs to be seen (Will Thoms Art), and one for my friend and co-climber on Everest in 2009, Lance Fox.
Lance is a veterinarian from Wisconsin who gives me free dog advice. So I designed a website and blog for him in one of my web design courses last semester. Actually I should add that while the site design was free, he did send me a care package with all sorts of goodies, including a styrofoam cheese wedge hat that I wear all the time.
While he was in Nepal, Lance didn't just climb Everest and drive Russell Brice nuts with all his blogging and videoing, he also laughed more than anyone on the team (I think he did.. well I know he laughed more than I did) and worked with our lead Sherpa, Phurba, to de-worm his yaks. If you've been trekking in Nepal, then you know how much the people in the Himalaya rely on yaks. You can learn more if you check out the website.
Lance is raising funds for a return trip to Nepal to continue his work de-worming the yaks. He is also a motivational speaker and is currently writing a book called, "No Place but UP!"
I had a blast creating his site and am already working on another for Lhakpa Gelu Sherpa. More on that later. And no I am not bored, I was just kidding about all that. I'm now very excited about helping LG get two sites up and running.
For now, visit Fox Everest and Lance's Blog. And many many thanks to John Black, Hiro Kuraoka and everyone who contributed photos to the site.
