ShoveBox, along with a huge assortment of other apps, is available in this year’s "Give Good Food To Your Mac" promotion. You can get up to 50% off your pick of quality independently-developed Mac software.

On Monday the 17th, I’ll be at the Omni Parker House in Boston demoing ShoveBox for iPhone. This is part of a Mobile Monday event featuring 10 early-stage mobile companies.

I’ll also be available after the demo to answer questions and give away chotchkies if I have any.

The event is free and you can register here. Hope to see you there!
