New APX Alarm Site - I Am APX and APX Insider

We're proud to announce the launch of two new websites for security sales company APX Alarm.

I Am APX is a full flash website targeted at recruiting new salesmen (and saleswomen) to work for APX. The site features interactive streaming flash video in multiple areas, and was designed to appear to APX's target demographic, 18-25 year old men and women. The site also includes interviews with APX employees who explain what working for APX is like and what new recruits can expect while they are out pounding the pavement.

APX Insider is a news portal specifically for APX employees, in particular their sales force. The site was modeled around news portals such as ESPN.com and features an interface where editors and contributors can add news articles with images, and the system also pulls sales stats to show top salesman, regions, and offices, helping foster synergistic competition between employees. Unfortunately, it's password protected, so unless you work for APX, you're out of luck.

President Gordon B Hinckley Dies at Age 97

I was watching TV and heard a special report that shocked and numbed me.

President Gordon B. Hinckley, President and Prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) died a little more than an hour ago.

Few people, with the exception of maybe my parents, have had such a profound impact on my life and who I am as this great man. I've grown up listening to his counsel and discourses and look at him like my own father or grandpa.

If you'd like to read some of his addresses check out the following links.

Carpe Testes (Softly)

We might not have a great reputation yet, but there is some great interactive coming out of Salt Lake City.

Struck (most well known for its work in the Shave Everywhere site) has put together a nice viral website for the Sean Kimerling Testicular Cancer Foundation. The site is a great example that a well done site doesn't have to be over the top to be effective (but you do need some great video to make up for it).
