Cold winds and warm firelplaces usher in another holiday seaon here in Michigan, and we here in crashland want to extend our thanks for everyone that points there browsers to our little neck of the woods. Posting will be sparse for the next week or so, as we’ll be travelling and spending time with family and friends.
To all our Crashnauts out on the interweb: have a great holiday, and enjoy the festivities that you take part in. I thought I’d throw out my own little gift to our readers as well: genuine version 4 Crashpod desktops! We’ve got two sizes available - traditional 1280×1024, and the standard powerbook widescreen resolution of 1280×854. Enjoy, and happy holidays!

Video games have improved by leaps and bounds over the years, including the art used to decorate their boxes. Game boxes from years past have been bad, corny, and sometimes outright disturbing. Have a look at some of the worst ever video game art ever created.
Thanks Joystiq!

As podcasting continues its exponential growth in popularity, I’m continually amazed at how quickly this new genre of media is penetrating popular culture. Likely one of the traits that makes podcasting appealing is its platform independent nature.

For mobile applications, users generally need to use an intermediary piece of gadgetry to move podcasts to their mobile devices.

What would it be like? No threats of lawsuits, music freely available for purchase, trade and mash-up, artists creating music without worrying about alienating their fans…
Martin over at gHacks has compiled a huge list of free music sites. These sites are free in that they don’t cost anything to use and you may download all music found on them legally.
Maybe it’s time to explore other avenues of receiving our music. Maybe it would be nice to try out new bands and artists without the fear of getting sued or having your computer molested. Take a look at these sites and try getting your entertainment without the RIAA for a little while.
