Welcome readers referred by Cool Site of the Day! Cool Site of the Day, the original website directory, has been featuring one cool website a day since August, 1994! Considering there are millions of websites, this is quite an honor. If you like SHARKRIDE!, please be sure rate it highly at the cool site website.

I produced the following video for a first level video production class at Foothill College. Special thanks to Kristin Tripp Caldwell, and especially to my parents, without whom I wouldn’t have had the inspiration. I hope you enjoy it!

I’d first like to thank Michael Arrington of TechCrunch fame for unwittingly inspiring me to start SHARKRIDE. Michael is one of the most influential people in the world of Web 2.0, and I hope to meet him at some point in the near future. Maybe I’ll crash one of his legendary parties!

I really thought a lot about what to name SHARKRIDE. As Internet veterans know, naming is a challenge, given the crowdedness (should be a word, if it’s not) of domain real estate. A shark ride represents an innovative concept, and I imagine riding a shark would be adventurous and fun, which I anticipate this will be.

Thanks for reading, and I welcome (and hope for) your contributions to the discussion via comments to posts or email!
