I hope you are having a good day.

Hi, I’m William R. Murrell, III also known as BostonMurrell on LinkedIn and Instagram. About me. | draft

digitalPlumber debuts

Those blinking lights in the concert arena’s audio engineer’s sound booth turned me on. I went to electronics trade school to learn more about technology. Field service roles steered me through the brick and mortar world of making mission-critical computer repairs for IBM, Duke Energy, and IT prime contractors.

I came on the World Wide Web with a dream. I bought domain name blackSoftware.com to provide families with a Black genre of software to use on home computers, when our images, and culture were excluded from distribution channels — the exception was a beaming Mavis Beacon. Artist Bettye Saar released ” Griot,” on CD-ROM with fullfilling Black fine art and multimedia interactions.

Distro

I distributed Boston artist Paul Goodnights free art screen saver for Windows to thousands of downloaders. It was a big hit. The Art in the Dark Screensaver also sold well.

My Domain Name fettish

I bought domain names LookForSchools.com, StolenComputers.com, Vacation2Florida.com. DigitalPlumbers.org, and BostonSnowman.com. I also bought dot coms in the names of my family members.

World’s First Free Black Software Store

BlackSoftware.com hit the Boston streets fixing computer systems and networks. After midnight, I webmastered the website. A community of Black Software coders, designers and multi-media makers formed. Then Google Image Search came online and our dominant position on supplying African American clip art — these were the best selling packages — evaporated. Software programming was hard then.

National Media Jump

I was recruited to launch the Go Afro Forum by American Vision magazine, the official magazine for the African American Museums Association. (1996-1998)

AV hired me to run it with a worldwide team of subject experts based in Washington DC. I bagged a rental condo on K Street and shuttled to and from Boston. Magazine staff made cameo appearances to host celebrity guest in our national online moderated auditorium. I co-produced live digital events featuring author Connie Briscoe, boxer Joe Frazier, and other celebrities with book releases, movies, media channels and films.

The venue was acquired and the team was out of work there. I feel thankful for opportunity to have that gig.

Black Boston Heritage understudy work

My dream for creating the AboutBlackBoston.org ABBG Black Boston Tours & Souvenir Catalog is to feature user-generated articles and reviews of The 100 Top Black Heritage & History Points of Interests in Boston and the ( New England ) States.

Five hundred people were emailed my survey about the ABBg corec premise. The responses were positive and gave me energy to write and publish the material.

My 2020 ABBG launch was supported by a $5K CommMa cultural grant paid to a WBE copywriter to work on a segment of the material.

These days, I update when I discover new history gems. My camera holds more than I’ve had time to release.

Boston attracts domestic and international seekers of our heritage. They want the Black Boston History experience.

Kudos to Black Heritage tour boosters MeetBoston, and Black Tour runners Live Life Like a Local, Unearthed Gems, Joel Mackel’s Hidden History Tour of Black Boston, and others who shoukd be named if I knew them

1638 & I give thanks to Black Tour Griots in the community who do Black History.

TRANSPORTATION

Yo, I have been riding public buses since I was young enough to be taken to the barber shop by my mom. Today, I own a Bus Company!

My BlackBusCompany.com bus supply and reservations service does your homework for you when you have the responsibity to insure your group boards on time.

Buses come in a range of configurations and color. Black-colored vehicles for Luxury buyers are cool. We do Black well. REQUEST QUOTES.

BRAND LAUNCHED RECENTLY

moving with movef.com

I know how difficult it is to move South away from Big City congestion, high prices, and other inconveniences. Its hard to make a move and I’ve done it both ways — NC to Boston & Boston to NC.

So, I’m passionate about helping people In Boston, New York. New Jersey. Philly and Washington, DC cities, make the move to North Carolina. The movef.com brand helps people move the smart way.

Did you know Boston compete with NC for talented high tech and big pharma professionals. Financial giant Bank of America moved its Boston headquarters to Charlotte, NC over ten years ago.

True Story

I was assisting two young, unmarried moms with baby strollers use computers in a media lab I supervised. I overheard one say “they need a change, because they feel trapped in Boston living in the hood.” Long story short – an internet job search found job openings in NC they wanted. They told me they will contact a Carolina relative and make plans about moving. They were emotional about it.

Domain Name Portfolio

In-house Investor here: I appraise, buy, hold, sell Top Level Domain Names, and develop them for companies as work-for-hire. Google for the Domain Name Journal magazine for more information about domain name values if you are interested. Domain name buying is a $8B marketplace. I encourage Blacks to buy them when they are cheap. You can’t do a lot without your own domain name. TIK TOK was sold. Rules and policy will change. But, domain names are the Internet – under your control.

INVESTORS: I have a portfolio of unused Ddomain names for sale. They have been listed with SEDO. If you are a broker Contact me.
