wheresclark | 1 month ago | on: Show HN: Riff – make high quality decisions

Made this with 1 dev and 1 designer in 3 months. Would love any feedback!

wheresclark | 10 years ago | on: Dealing with failure

This is a post I just wrote about dealing with failure in adventure, but having worked on a few startups, I think there are a lot of parallels with the startup community. High risk, low chance of success, big challenges yet highly rewarding.

Agreed. I'll pick a fight with anyone who thinks culling sharks is a good thing.

wheresclark | 11 years ago | on: Show HN: Stintin - jobs for the not so faint of heart

I agree. Will change that now.

wheresclark | 11 years ago | on: Show HN: Stintin - jobs for the not so faint of heart

You're bang on the money. This was a very very very early stage test to see what people thought of the idea and if they valued it enough to pay $5. Round two of development will involve more work on the business model and adding the examples of job posts and credibility factor. Thanks for much for the feedback. It's invaluable.

Sorry about that UX faux pas. I'm still learning these things. I didn't realise it was causing problems. I'll get onto it straight away. Glad you let me know. Thanks.

Thanks for the link. Good read.

wheresclark | 12 years ago | on: Ask HN: What's the best way you've found to reach a niche audience online?

Thanks for letting me know. The title sounds pretty spammy now that I think about it. I'm still experimenting with various ways to reach an adventure audience but I've tried guest posts, SEO, adventure forums and cross promotion are all the usual suspects. I'm not after big growth, just some ideas for reaching the right people at the right time.

I imagine there are some interesting case-studies from people who frequent HN.

wheresclark | 12 years ago | on: Ask HN: Surface area of the Earth/Earth's population = How much space each?

I wasn't meaning small in terms of liveable area. I was just thinking how people generally imagine the planet to be this near infinite area, but really, we each only have a tiny patch of space to look after.

wheresclark | 12 years ago | on: Ask HN: Surface area of the Earth/Earth's population = How much space each?

Fantastic. Thanks! This is a scarily small area per person.

The video is pretty dodgy, but the he has a lot of genuine passion. I hope he gets to the start line in 2015.

I agree, they seem to be very light on the meaty info. I would be very interested to see how they go with their demonstration in SF on Monday.

I just spent the last two hours thinking of stuff I could potentially make with this. I wish I had a spare $5K.

It's on my list to write about Stay tuned.

Reddit.com/r/adventures is a good one. Also check out explorersweb.com and explorersconnect.com

No problem at all. I hope you enjoy.

wheresclark | 12 years ago | on: An experiment in passive income

That's true. But I don't have to print and ship bags myself at all. It's all automated by the good folks at shopify and Printful. They take a good chunk of each sale of course, but the net results are worth it.

wheresclark | 12 years ago | on: Show HN: Is anybody interested in these .com domain's I'm getting rid of.

Hi bmelton. It's yours for $200.

wheresclark | 12 years ago | on: Show HN: Is anybody interested in these .com domain's I'm getting rid of.

Hi all,

Your suspicion is fair enough. Price range is from $200 for individual domains but will be happy to discuss if buying as a group. I'm not looking to make five figures off this.

wheresclark | 12 years ago | on: Show HN: I'm writing an ebook about adventure and giving it away for free

I'm starting to see this more and more. Thanks :)
