The Motocrosses!

Here's a couple of clips you need to see of my bro taking it up the big hill on his new dirt bike! I was there with him on another bike as camera man.
Right now they can be found by searching for Cross Culture Inc. on Google Video. Which I've already done for you. Just follow the link and the first four are ours. If someone else decides to post videos under that name then they may be more difficult to find but scroll around if they aren't the first four.

Also, there is an organization named Cross Culture Inc. but it isn't us. These videos are all we got online so far!

Thanks for viewing!

You need to Download and Install RSS Bandit

I have found RSS Bandit to be the most user friendly out of the free news aggregators for Windows! Now before you go disagreeing with me, I haven't tried them all. In fact I've only tried just a few but here are some of my favorite features:
  1. Auto-discovery of feeds when you point it to a web page.
  2. Pop-ups (just like Outlook 2003 but not quite as fancy) when your news feeds have been updated!
  3. Organize your feeds into categories (most aggregators do this!)
  4. You have control over how the feeds are displayed to you! It is controlled by the stylesheet you choose to use or make/modify yourself.
  5. It runs in the system tray so you don't have to worry about accidentally closing the app and not getting notified about updates.
  6. It's open source!
I know I'm forgetting more but those are some of the basics. Oh one more thing it is written in C#. It is the best language I have found in a long time to get Web Forms or Windows forms applications developed and deployed in short order. Please comment if you have anything else I should add to this post.

Adobe Acquiring Macromedia

I don't know about you but the wars between the two computer multimedia software companies is a good thing! But apparently Adobe was the biggest giant in the industry and we will no longer have healthy competition between the two. I've used Macromedia Dreamweaver for years now and like it's platform independence and visually appealing GUI. But as a student when I bought Dreamweaver 2 it was around $100. I could barely afford that. Later I convinced my boss to purchase Dreamweaver MX (6.0) for around $350. I don't even want to know what it'll cost after the two companies merge.
