Mostly we code...sometimes we write. Every once in a while, we podcast.

In this election year, I'm reminded of the power of a good slogan.  Slogan's are used to galvanize an idea or concept so that people can rally around and support.  Our motto at CodeWeavers is simple, 'TRY CROSSOVER FIRST!' (or for the talking heads #TRYCROSSOVERFIRST).  Why?  Because it's free to try and if it runs your application on your Mac or Linux box, we'll save you time and money.  Simple, right?  TRY CROSSOVER FIRST!  It's an idea that people are starting to support, tell their families about, and share with friends.  In this, an election year, with both job creation and taxes being primary political issues, saving money and saving time seems an appropriate position to take.  People can BELIEVE in that!  And if having more money in your pocket and more time on your hands is something you want from your software; well, cover me in feathers and call me a duck.  It's time to TAKE ACTION!!!  It's time to actually capture people's attention (#TAKETHATTALKINGHEADS).  And it's time for Flock The Vote or #FLOCKTHEVOTE!  

In this election year, CodeWeavers is asking you to vote.  Vote for the Republicans or the Democrats or the Independents!  Vote for the red team or the blue team or some color in between!  Vote for social issues or financial issues or even personal issues!  Just vote.  In the coming month, we'll ask you to pledge your pledge to vote on our website.  And when we have enough pledges that we believe that we can statistically effect the outcome of any political race in any city, county, district, state, or even the country and can see that impact on election day, we'll once again give away our software for free for 24 hours.  That's right.  A good product for free for 24 hours if you pledge that you'll vote on election day.  Think of it as getting paid to wait in line to do your public duty!  Maybe our voters will legalize marijuana in California or outlaw hurricanes in New Orleans or require NFC to be standard on all smart phones (I'm looking at you iPhone 5!) or vote another Kennedy into office in Massachusetts.  It doesn't matter what you vote for or who you vote for or where you vote as long as you take action and stand up for what you believe!  Look for more details about Flock The Vote (or #FLOCKTHEVOTE) coming soon.
