Because I'm old enough to have first seen the Internet as an adult, I can remember the very first thing I saw. It was a forum post titled "Judge Ito, eat my burrito"

Scotland had a big push on childhood teeth-cleaning. Costs (blue) were ~£2m (/yr?). Savings are waaay bigger: the green. Bravo for prevention 👍🏼

I'm still a bit teary from watching Amelie yet again. Sitting in Bare Brew, drinking a pistachio latte, silently weeping. I'm such an embarrassment

Most small business websites are leaking customers. Not because of the business — but because: broken links, clunky contact pages, outdated content People don’t complain. They just leave. I do simple website audits to fix exactly this. Just my little side hustle. DM me.
