West Medford Lobsterfest

I wasn't going to go...after previously agreeing to go. That's called reneging, for you law majors. I was exhausted after a long week, and didn't have the energy for such a social event. Of course the missus called me on this, and offered an artful counter to my why-don't-you-just-take-the-kids, with it-doesn't-start-until-later-so... My armor (as well as my argument) was getting weaker. The kids later sneak-attacked me, and that was that.

Now since I didn't know what later meant, I asked my young friend Google to find out when the Lobsterfest began. Instead I found out much more about my historic, West Medford neighborhood, "The Ville", from a Boston Magazine article. I felt like a heel after reading the first few paragraphs. By now my kids had discovered me on the couch reading intently. At that moment I realized that I almost missed an opportunity not only to share with my kids an important part of Black American history, but of their specific history.

I read aloud the rest of the article to them, explaining and answering their questions as I went along. After finishing the article and then some more digging, I found the time-frame for the Lobsterfest. It had already started. We headed off. It turns out the Lobsterfest, this year, was at our end of the The Ville.

What We're Working On at Zumbi Mobile Solutions - 2014

Mobile Development:

I decided to put the iOS version of MotrAide^TM on hold, and begin with the Android version instead. I hope to get the beta done by the Fall.

Kindle Publishing:

Much of 2014 was spent on getting It Sometimes Snows in May out the door, but we did it. In May no less.

Enterprise Technical Support:

Although demand for enterprise technical support remains strong in 2014, my focus has been on the mobile app and Kindle work for the year.

Off To The #BostonComicCon

Astro Boy's Alter Ego?

This is my first real comic book convention of the year, and my first Boston Comic Con. I hope to get some app ideas as well.
