Chell Financial Data Rescue

---

We had heard that the financial world moves quick, but we had no clue how fast things can be for real until we got a call from financial planners Jim Chell and Nelson Cover. When they decided to change one of their suppliers, they had a matter of hours to pull hundreds of client records out of a supplier web portal before their data was lost to corporate ransom, an impossible task to complete manually. Our expertise in web systems and automation helped scrape all the data they would have otherwise lost, dumping data into a secure sqlite database as well as a set of pre-filled PDF forms, ready for printing, signing, and mailing. We were proud to help Chell Financial with their high tech needs, and are excited to have helped them provide amazing customer service.

Based on the open source watchface Planets, by Alex Karantza, the Spacewalk team created a new, high-information-density, eminently glanceable face for the Pebble smartwatch platform. Powered by Dark Sky weather data and using a custom weather backend written in Python and Javascript, the face, written in C, features a 24 hour timeline of weather forecast, including temperature, cloud cover, precipitation, and wind data. It’s customizable, regularly updated, and free and open-source.

Astronomy Saves The World

---

After a successful Kickstarter, Dr. Batcheldor had a bunch of orders on his hands and no new help with his book. Most publishers balk at getting involved in a project at such a mature stage, or, even worse, charge exorbitantly for their services while leaving the author without the support of a traditional publishing arrangement, but our lean structure enabled us to tailor our services to his needs: he had the resources and desire to hire his own printer and editing staff, leaving us to assist with layout and utilize our existing network to handle distribution. We referred in a close friend, Davinica Nemtzow, to assist with cover and dust jacket art and helped chart the route to fulfilling his Kickstarter obligations. We did all the legwork he couldn’t, so he could focus on his writing and meeting his own deadlines.

Astronomy Saves The World: Securing Our Future Through Education and Exploration is now available in hardcover on Amazon.

GRIP

---

Wyatt spent more than a year writing and illustrating his high-fantasy graphic novel GRIP. He approached us looking for ways to skip the slow dead-tree publishing cycle, hoping to get his 250 page comic in the hands of his readers as soon as possible. We worked with Wyatt to build an extensible platform that fit his needs and featured easy setup with minimal ongoing maintenance costs, all in the course of just a single two-hour consulting session. He took our platform and ran with it, using our toolkit to tell his own amazing story at orbital velocity.

Barbershop Tales

---

Our very first work. We published the book for this musical on Amazon. It premiered for the first time at Eastside High School in Gainesville, Florida, on April 17, 2015, at 7 PM. Selections from the show were exhibited at the Florida Thespian Festival that year, with the original song “Starting To Feel Something” winning top honors statewide. Licensing options available. Contact us using the site form for more information. Audio and Video samples available online.

Barbershop Tales is a musical romp through coming of age, tradition, and romance. It follows a young man, Joel, ready to take over his father’s business (a barbershop, naturally), when his introspective yet unemployed best friend Timmy and newfound love interest Judy pull him off his father’s track. His life complicates as he discovers Judy is in fact homeless, and seeks to reconcile this with himself and with her. As finally the pair seem meant to be, Judy disappears, and Joel’s entire world shatters: he’s left to pick up the pieces of a broken reality in a light-hearted comedic setting. Considering the former elements’ intertwining and unfolding in straightforward delivery and lighthearted song and dance, Barbershop Tales is perhaps best categorized as theatre of the absurdity of reality–an exploration into what can be, a parody of seriousness. Static set. 5 males, 4 females, 7-20 flexible chorus.
