A few months ago, a programmer who had helped me in the early stages of this project told me about a developer's conference in late May near Los Gatos, the town where my mother grew up. I looked into it, and the theme, in addition to the technical focus, was art and health, and everything about it seemed like a good fit.

The timing seemed like a reasonable launch date, so I signed myself up and told my friends and family that I was finally going to release my app during this scheduled event.

And here we are, a few days before that date, and I am at my desk, on the tail end of yet another fifteen hour day. I've approached TODAY more like a life purpose than a commercial job but what I've gained in quality, I've paid for in time.

I look forward to sharing my work with you all in a few days.
