We’ve been quietly growing and creating value for our clients, so we haven’t posted much. But this is a big event. We now have two coffee machines churning out >1k cups of coffee a month. And this right here is the newest addition.

Exciting time. Big shout out to @TheLaunchLab for being such an amazing home for us. 2 years fly by so quickly. Going from 4 to 24 people has been such a exhilarating ride. Onwards and upwards!

Wondered why the car blowers didn't seem very effective then realised half of them were set to 'email' instead of 'bacon'.

I forced a bot to watch over 1,000 hours of Olive Garden commercials and then asked it to write an Olive Garden commercial of its own. Here is the first page.
