I was also the founder of Pixel2life.com in 2003, the web’s largest tutorial index and publishing system until 2011 when the company was sold to a local business team.
I continue to work on major web projects around the globe and spend my free time in the gym, fishing and vlogging, stock market analysis, and writing content when the inspiration hits me.
Wow.
BTW i was upset when i went to the old blog and it was gone!
Sorry! But… isn’t this one way better? 😉
Dan
Definitly 🙂
It’s funny how your top 10 match your exact look, except i would have thought your favorite color to be blue 😀
Surfed over here after seeing a referral from here to the AnastasiaDeSousa.org site (we set it up) and WOW… awesome site, and by a fellow Canadian as well. One of the most interesting tech blogs anywhere, never mind a canuck (who wants to move to La Jolla)
Cheers,
Robin
Thanks Robin, I appreciate the props 🙂 The entire Dawson incident was very disturbing and for Anastasia to be taken by the shooter is nothing short of a crying waste of a precious life. I hope the shooter rots in hell.
Anyhow, thanks for visiting and taking time to drop a hello my way 🙂
Dan
Your life story is quite inspiring and makes me want to design a hell of a lot more now, I’m working towards becoming a web designer/developer but also doing odd jobs such as Logo design etc…
Forgot to mention, like you i’m a big fan of metal and am working on a metal community, what bands are you into?
Regards
Hi Dnr,
Good luck with your career 🙂
In terms of metal, I’m old school… Metallica, GnR, Sabbath, Zepplin, ACDC etc… for heavier, I’m into Godsmack, Pantera, TTKC and a few others. I also dig 80s alternative and pretty much all rock bands from the 50s to 80s and some 90s.
Dan
That’s sweet, love Metallica and GnR but I am more modern really, things like Atreyu, Alexisonfire plus others…
Hopefully my career will go well, just got to finish my Cisco course before I go all out to make it work.
Regards,
Insignia
Hi Dan,

PEACE LOVE EMPATHY

Wow dan, i’m amazed at how far you’ve come from P2L. Its an awsome website, nothing like it. Thought i’d come and visit some more of your websites and they too are just as impressive. Im also very surprised you make a living on P2L. Keep up the good work 😉
hey Dan.
after visiting ur site many many times to check out all of the latest in costumes, props models etc i thought id also see alittle about ur background. It was nice to see that i was not the only one that wanted to move to California, but one thing is for sure….Angelina Jolie is MY mistress!!!!! lol 😉
Take care and look forward to buying a P1 costume from you soon,
Regards

I met Dan a few years ago and my first impression was “Wow… this guy is really smart.” Didn’t take me long to discover the flaw in my thinking. It’s not that Dan’s so smart, it’s that I’m so stupid.
All seriousness aside, I have to say..
Dude.. not only are you incredibly talented and an intellectual, but, after 47 years on the planet, having been half way around the world and back, having met people from all walks of life, you Sir (and I use that term loosely) are one of the finest human beings I’ve had the pleasure of knowing and it is an honor to call you my friend.
But red ? WTF ?
I love you man !!
I seem to remember a certain young webmaster throwing a ball made of tape at me in a large auditorium. Hmmm, I also remember being knocked out, and when I came to, I thought I’d gone to hell, because there staring down at me was a hideous visage of a certain young webmaster…
Very stylish site Danny, the content is still way above my pitiful head, but hey I’m learning
Jaymz
P.S. Remember Otis the Library Hound?
HI Dan,
I am interested in speaking with you about monetizing Pixel2Life.com.
Prospectiv works with top tier brands, and I’m very interested in discussing how we can partner.
Please let me know if you have time to talk later this week,
best
Sharon

Your 5/16/07 entry: https://www.danrichard.com/2007/05/16/how-to-fix-corel-verify-that-msxml4-is-installed-error-after-removing-norton-antivirus/
and John Adams’s 7/25/07 comment provided the solution to a Quattro Pro X5 installation over with a Corel tech and myself had been scratching our heads.
Thanks to both of you.
Glad to help Brent!
Hope you don’t get the impression that I’m stalking you, Dan. Just hoping to get in touch re some marketing-related stuff. Hope to hear from you soon.

Dan, I was just on another site, reading an interview you did about P2L. I thought it quite funny that you started the site while recovering from food poisoning. I am doing a presentation on you for a class in web design, and while doing this and reading your article, I too am recovering from food poisoning. LOL. Maybe something just as great will come out of my career in web design. (working on the bottom ground of a driving education website) Wish me luck. Thank you for P2L it is awesome!!!!!
