Haha... I wondered if you'd mention the piece. I actually chatted with them before your Voice piece came out, which was fantastic. I felt like I was a little late to the party... but I like the company's work and in the end my main goal was to showcase them. The whole showcase code issue just made it a, er, "sexier" story. :)

Well done, Raven. I tried to track down Bargetto at the last minute myself, but never got a reply. Either my email got lost on his website...or you had an exclusive!
And yes, nothing is sexier than showcase stories.
