Wishing all a very happy new year. As the year came to a close, the Iridesco crew took some time out to travel, see the loved ones, and otherwise relax as the little company officially turns three years old! That’s three years of sweat, adventure, follies, and rewards. We wouldn’t have it any other way.
As we reconvene for the road ahead in 2006, we’re refreshed and excited. SuprGlu continues to grow as we busily hack away at its next set of features. We’ve also been working on another web application–a tool to help keep our business on track.

Take a deep breathe. Get excited. 2006 is going to be good. »
