A Little GasBum Press

A couple of months ago I decided to write a little J2ME application that allows mobile users to get the cheapest gas prices on their device - aka GasBum. This ultimately stemmed from a few conversations I had with friends and family over the labor day weekend. GasBum runs on many different devices and on some of the more popular ones such as the Nokia 7610, Nokia 6682, Nokia 6620, and Nokia 3650.

Last month I received a phone call from a guy named Brent with Advocate Magazine. He wanted to do a small phone interview so I took him up on the offer. I really didn't think it would be in the next release of the magazine, even though he said it would be. The Advocate goes out to about 100,000 readers in the Dallas area. The magazine is distributed throughout four major divisions in Dallas with my area being Lakewood. You can see the distribution numbers here.

You can check out the magazine article below and I'm excited about getting GasBum installed on many more devices over the coming month. This article gives me more credit than I deserve, but I'm appreciative nonetheless. Enjoy and thanks to everyone for all the great feedback.
