It's quite an honor really. And thank you guys for your kind remarks on them too. It's nice to know when y'all like what I do. :-D That said, due to a few set backs that I've recently had, December's banner should be up later this week. Again, thanks Josh and everyone else for making CDX as great as it is!

Over the last few months my position with CDX has opened doors of communication with online content makers I truly love and respect as I pick their brains for tips and info on launching our own Video cast. <br> Needless to say I have been having a lot of fun and I KNOW we've only just begun. <br> Lastly, I need to thank Josh B. Josh this has been one of the most creative and rewarding years of my life and I thank you for letting me run wild the way you have. Words don't do the emotion justice....
