I started a Wordpress consultancy with a couple of friends. The idea was to eventually transition into a proper design agency that can also code. One friend was part-time and did only design because he didn't know how to code. The othe

I can't tell if she's nervous or awkward or excited but it reminds me of myself when giving talks, even to small groups. I get so flustered that my mind races and then the rest of my body tries to catch up so I'm now talking

When I was in my teens, twenties and early thirties, I very seriously yearned for world domination. Probably because I grew up low-middle class and was always the small kid being picked on. I didn't work too hard at it because at my co

I use a Trello board that I update weekly. There's a list of tasks, and then 7 lists for each day of the week. I assign the tasks to each day and archive them when I've completed them. If they're only half done, I just shift

I have only one to recommend: Boagworld - https://boagworld.com/show/ They've been doing the web/design/ux thing for about 10 years now and it's still fun to listen too. More design, less tech.

> I would find more ridiculous (or suspicious) someone carrying 2000€ in cash in this day and age for whatever reason, to be honest. You'd think. I bought a house in Japan and I had to pay my deposit in cash, approximately US$10,000

I'd love to hear about that free farmland thing you mentioned. I've spoken with a few entrepreneurs about trying to build something like a scaled up version of Farmbot [0] for small Japanese farms but most reactions I've gott
