Panic is a constant inspiration. I bet you could make an entire business out of creating these for other offices. Just the simple act of “publicizing” those numbers — not in a cruel way, but a “where are we at as a group?” way — has kept the support process on-task and, I think, made it a bit more like a video game. “More like a video game” is really the key phrase for me here. I can really see myself going after that last nagging to-do so the champagne animation appears. Otherwise, really, what’s my motivation here? Some nice work with Webkit, too!
