about crashpod
Crashpod’s name was called into being during the birth of the blogosphere, some time in the distant year two thousand aught three. Like so many sites at the time, Crashpod’s name found traction in the middle ground between a domain that sounds cool and memorable, and a domain that hadn’t been snapped up by deceitful domain name squatters. While not a reference to any concrete subject matter in particular, we like to think that the very inclusion of the now tech-oriented term “pod” lends credibility to our general focus on subject matter based on hardware and software technology.
Besides giving us the chance to talk about our favorite technologies and the comings and goings of the industries they occupy, Crashpod has the added benefit of encouraging us simply to write. It may seem like a minor benefit, but with the coming ubiquity of user generated content, thoughts and opinions output by everyday citizens rather than processed statements by large media bodies, Crashpod provides us the chance to hone our capacity to express ourselves to the utmost of our ability in this new communication landscape.
