What’s up knuckleheads? Long time no blogging, huh? Life is good, just living the dream. So I was trolling old footage of the neighborhoods and ran into this old piece called Five Bostons from 1983 done by Chris Lydon. Great perspective as we watch the …
Open311 is nothing new in the world of municipal data. The commonwealth’s first venture into this arena on a massive scale was “Commonwealth Connect” – a state grant funded rebranding and distribution of the SeeClickFix platform spearheaded by then City of Boston CIO Bill Oates …
It’s official….a Dot Rat is mayor of Boston. The goosebumps moment for me during the speech was his reference to the hills of Boston and that the focus should not only be on Beacon Hill but also on Savin Hill, Telegraph Hill, Bunker Hill, Popes Hill and Mission Hill. In those simple words we got a glimpse of a man that can unite the city like no other!
He conveyed his vision perfectly….and I couldn’t be more proud.
I can’t wait to see everyone at the party tonight!

There’s many reasons why Marty Walsh should get your vote on election day, but right now I want to focus on the biggest reason…. John Connolly. Yes, I’m about to pick on this guy and nobody can stop me. Have you seen the way John …
In case you haven’t noticed the signs everywhere. We have a Dot Rat running for Mayor of Boston that goes by the name Martin J. Walsh.
Marty will get my vote for a number of reasons, many of which I will explain over the coming weeks leading up to the election. With that said I will give you my primary reason, experience. Marty Walsh is a man who has walked in my shoes. He has dealt with the same set of obstacles many of us have faced as Bostonians. Each and every time he’s been knocked down throughout the course of his life because of these obstacles he has dusted himself off, and evolved..not only as a politician but as a human being. Check out his recent sit down with the Suffolk County Sheriffs office.
What makes Marty so dynamic that he’s not only book smart, but street smart as well. Every time I have seen him sit down at a table for a negotiation or a debate with his fellow candidates, I am fully confident he’s the most in tune with the pulse of our city because of his experience here in Dorchester.
Tonight at Florian Hall the Dropkick Murphys and Steve Sweeney will be performing at a fundraiser for Marty’s campaign and I will be reporting live (If my phone cooperates).

So here I am, sitting at City Hospital (or Boston Medical Center for you youngins) in a wing of the hospital named for the Capo di tutti capi,(The Boss of all Bosses) Mayor Tom Menino. It’s surgery day for my mother, she’s finally having her …
Mumbles is just too friggin gangster…this dude has so much street cred that he can call the most iconic African American of all time by his nickname. What? Wait…who the fork is this “fellow America Martha Luther King Jr.”? I got mumbled again? WTF…. Big …
Listen, when you’re a big pimp like Mumbles and cutting ribbons around Boston like a Kenyan running 5k’s, you need to have a crew of dancers on your payroll for your adoring constituents. Mumbs came with his ABCD champions “FunkPaws” the other day for a little entertainment after a ribbon cutting in Downtown Crossing.
