Not bad for a one-year-old [02072007]
Yesterday, Inventive Labs was one year old. Rough calculations reveal that in the last twelve months we:
- Wrote 41 proposals
- Had 48 meetings with clients, including one former Prime Minister of Australia
- Designed 14 websites
- Built 8 web applications, including 5 for clients and 3 for use in-house
- Invented Blueprint
- Made 2,196 check-ins to our Subversion repository
- Had 19 'business meetings', most of them at The Gem in Collingwood
- Ate 26 pizzas from Bomb in Abbotsford
- Rose to ridiculous heights in Wii Tennis (Joseph)
- Rose to moderate heights in Wii Tennis (Virginia)
- Cursed Internet Explorer 234,511 times, mostly while wrangling the alpha transparency for this site
- Praised Capistrano 1,200 times
- Drank the odd beer on a Friday afternoon
We also met our financial targets (modest and unscientific as they were), worked with and for a host of excellent people, and never for a second regretted our leap into the Unknown Unknowns of business ownership. Not bad for a one year-old.

Virginia Murdoch is a XHTML/CSS tiger and a Ruby tinkerer with 7 years of graphic design experience (most of those involving the web) and a lifetime of visual curiosity behind her. She takes photos, too.
Congratulations on a successful Year 1! There are many talented people, but finding talented people with a great attitude is a lot harder.
