3 Years of Full-Time SMUG!

I can't believe I've been doing this full-time for three years. Time has been flying by, and so many incredible things have happened since I decided to leave my stable full-time job for the risky life of independent Mac software.

I'd like to thank all my Indie Mac Software Brethren who've helped keep me sane during the 3 years I've spent alone in my home. With a mixture of IRC, iChat, and Twitter, it's hard to really describe my work situation as "lonely."

I'd also like to thank my customers for contributing to SuperMegaUltraGroovy's success. You have not only supported me financially, but also spiritually. I am continually receiving praise in my support email and app reviews, and that helps me stay motivated to keep doing what I do.

Since it's been a few years, I'll let you in on a little secret: The anniversary of "going indie" is also my birthday! Now I have a much less depressing milestone to track as I grow older. It'll be far more exciting to throw a party for 20 years of SuperMegaUltraGroovy, rather than my 48th birthday.

(And, if this growth keeps up, it's going to be quite an event…)
