<p>After so many nights spent creating this, it&#8217;s almost unreal that I&#8217;ve finally reached a point where the site is online, fully functioning, and I&#8217;m writing these words on my blog, finally ready to unleash my creation at the unsuspecting world <img src='http://www.alexanderkharlamov.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>It wasn&#8217;t too long ago that I thought I would never be done with it. Time and again, just as I thought &#8211; this is it, I got all the annoying little bugs that prevent me from going live, I would discover something else that was so small and annoying, yet unacceptable to be in the final version.</p>
<p>But I did it. I finally did it!!! The site is live and ready to go and I&#8217;m just so damn happy! <img src='http://www.alexanderkharlamov.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  <img src='http://www.alexanderkharlamov.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  <img src='http://www.alexanderkharlamov.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>The site was born out of a conversation I had with a friend of mine about restaurants. He mentioned that if you don&#8217;t have a clue about any of the wines on the list, getting SECOND cheapest one is a bad idea. Restaurant people know our psychology &#8211; we avoid the cheapest stuff because well, no one wants to look cheap &#8211; and don&#8217;t want to go for too expensive if we don&#8217;t know what it is. So more often that not, we go for the second cheapest one. Restaurants know this, and that&#8217;s why they put their crappiest stuff in that spot.</p>
<p>After hearing that, I thought to myself.. &#8220;Wow, that was pretty neat! I wonder if there&#8217;s a site that has all that useful little tips about pretty much anything in life&#8230;&#8221; I didn&#8217;t find such a site because it didn&#8217;t exist, and the rest, as they say, is history.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t want to spend much longer talking &#8230; So without further ado, may I present to you &#8211; a site whose slogan is &#8220;Tips on ANYTHING&#8221; &#8211; here it is:</p>

<p>My silence over the past few days can be explained by the fact that I&#8217;m getting very close to launching of my startup .. which is the first time I&#8217;m mentioninig it on this website, and it will be the last time until it&#8217;s actually released.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t like talking about something I can&#8217;t show, so I&#8217;ve been very quiet about it so far. But after so many months of hard work, it&#8217;s so damn near that I can feel it&#8230; it makes me giddy like a little school boy <img src='http://www.alexanderkharlamov.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  The downside of that is I&#8217;ve been working extra hard to make it happen. But fear not, my faithful blog readers (yes, both of you), I&#8217;m not abandoing this baby of mine and will continue posting at my usual rate &#8211; as soon as it&#8217;s done <img src='http://www.alexanderkharlamov.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I feel like this year is finally it &#8211; everything is coming together for me, more and more pieces of the puzzle fit into place. I can&#8217;t wait <img src='http://www.alexanderkharlamov.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':-D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
